That is what Silas said today to get his Grandpa to wake up.  My parents always ask to sleep on Silas’ floor for the pure pleasure of waking up to his cheery face and wonderful snuggles every morning. My parents spent the weekend with us, it was a lovely time.  It wasn’t rushed at all,… Continue reading Grandpa, Stop Sleeping!

I know this blog is a good way to keep in touch with people.  Especially family.  Family has been relying on it to get updates about my children for a long time.  I’ve been relying on it for the same purpose, plus as a journal.  It’s a great memory keeper. When I went off the… Continue reading A New Plan Stan

Oh goodness the events that have happened.  Enough to fill many many many many blog posts.  So how about I just fit them all in to one and we can be done with it? So, what happened first?  Well, the biggest event was probably stabbing Silas in the leg with an epipen in the back… Continue reading While I Was Away…

This morning I woke up, and like most of the last 4 weeks I didn’t think about logging on to the computer.  Then it hit me, today is the day.  The day that I’ve dreaded and wished for all at the same time. These past four weeks have been incredible.  It took me three weeks… Continue reading I’m Back

Do you ever daydream about things??  Make up an alternate situation for yourself in your head and just go with it? Mine mostly are about winning the lottery and what I’d do with the money.  The topic excites me to no end. We’d buy a modest house and modest cars, as close to being “green”… Continue reading Day Dreaming

I don’t talk much about my husband, I don’t know why…I guess he’s not around when all the stay at home mommy action happens.  I need to tell you about him for once.

This isn’t the last you’ll hear of me in 4 weeks, but it’s the last I’ll hear from you.  I’m excited about this and horrified at the same time.  But so excited to see what comes out of me when I’m not distracted by the computer.  I hope I don’t go NUTS! Ok has anyone… Continue reading So Long, Farewell!!

Being pregnant Jumping 50 feet off of a cliff into water…that hurt for WEEKS after. Swimming across a lake with my husband…he’s not very buoyant…danger danger! Feeding a pea sized lump of wasabi to my husband…you never fall for that one twice. Taking Silas to Canada Day festivities without proper preparation, and a helmet for… Continue reading Top 10 Things I’ll Never Try Again!
