The boys are in bed. The twinkle lights are on, tiny glows in our little haven. The house has finally calmed down and it’s time for bed. I got some of what I wanted to accomplish squared away. Some, I didn’t. That’s life. I’m going to read for a little while, then it’s snooze time. [...]

I’m preparing to back up my laptop and install Vista Ultimate. Todd and the boys are outside, enjoying the new space. I’m a bit jealous that they have the freedom to do it but I know it’s not forever. Two more weeks of work and I’m done! Well… I’ll be done for a three week [...]

We worked on a garden tonight. This is a miracle because Todd & I are NOT gardeners. Bren was digging holes too. We have a new trellis with honeysuckle and clematis. We have some creepers and some African Daisies. It looks pretty, although it’ll look better in a month or two, when things start growing [...]

Weird. This format must have been edited. Well, blog roll is back. Phwew.
Now I can resume my previously scheduled activities and stop hyperventilating. Boy. Leave a blog to flounder for a bit and look what happens!

Saturday morning with my guys

I’ve been up for a couple hours and already we’ve had toddler drama, 6-year old smiles and a groggy daddy drag himself out of bed. I’ve done some laundry… read some of my AIS text…. eaten a few crackers and read an interesting blog. I have final projects to work on, sadly, and I think [...]
Lost in space….

I need to work on a mastery module, but I just want to go to bed. I’m trying to persuade myself to buck up and get it done…. but my body keeps trying to persuade me that being horizontal would be better. Hard to argue with your body. It has tricky ways of persuading you [...]
Brief, because that’s all I have….

We could call the last weekend the “Lost” weekend. Todd, Bren and I had a Lost marathon…. I’ve never watched it before and Todd got the first season on disc. Hence the Lost weekend. Fitting and appropriate description if you ask me. Great show. Fun, sad, silly, dramatic…. the list goes on. I understand the [...]
Exactly!

“You have the power to enjoy yourself exactly where you are now” – This was the last line in my horoscope this morning. And I say, exactly!
One of my mentors at work says that the key to what we do is “taking control of the situation”…. All my friends and family would smile, nod and [...]
Everything has a cost….

Day 4 went well. I was out for a bit this afternoon, at Aidan’s annual doctor’s appointment. I hate those visits because of the shots and Aidan wasn’t all that thrilled either. He wailed when we attempted to weigh him. I wanted to tell him that’s the easy part!
I love our children’s pediatrician though. She’s [...]
