Strange Happenings

Ikey on a run with me. He is actually an amazing running buddy.

There have been stttrrrrannnggeee happenings in my house as of late.  What started of with me getting a bout of OCD when it came to cleanliness (which has now found some balance) has turned into a lot more.  Of course I’ve been exercising and eating well despite the fact that losing one pound takes a… Continue reading Strange Happenings

Making a Person

There have been many people that have witnessed me saying that there’s no way I would ever ever ever have a baby again.  There’s also been blogs about how I feel like I can’t because Silas took up so much of our lives and that I was scared we would make someone else with autism.… Continue reading Making a Person

I’m a little late blogging today because I didn’t let myself blog this afternoon until this: looked more like this: Laundry isn’t done but blame it on my slow arsed washing machine, not me.  It’s actually a fast washing machine…I just had a lot of laundry.  Shush. Note all my little notes on there?  I… Continue reading Just Call Me Domestic Goddess

GLOW BOLWING!

Last night Brent and I had our Valentines date.  We did it a day late just because I didn’t feel like dealing with busy restaurants.  It’s better this way.  Anyway, we went to this local place and had a really fantastic waitress, she was hilarious.  We got some stuff mushroom caps for a starter and… Continue reading GLOW BOLWING!

A Mother’s Love

I get this feeling every night as I sneak into my children’s room and tuck them in while they sleep.  I feel completely and totally vulnerable.  For some reason seeing my sleeping children remind me of how delicate they are, how easily they could slip from my fingers.  My hear suddenly fills with this feeling… Continue reading A Mother’s Love

It’s an AAAAHHHHHHHHHHH Kinda Day

K yesterday’s post was a floppy flop.  Go ask some questions!!  I might go on strike because no one loves me!

My kids are going to have a way less stressful childhood than mine so I know they’re ok. Hopefully they… Continue reading Guilt
