11/13/09 Five Things Friday

1. I’m so glad it isn’t raining again today. It still may be cold and incredibly windy, but I just couldn’t take another day of incessant rain. Supposedly it will be nice this weekend, which means maybe a nice long walk with the kids and a healthy, much-needed dose of sunny Vitamin D for all [...]

Christmas Consternation

Even though it’s a little too early in my book to deck the halls with boughs of holly, the stores and commercials on TV are doing exactly what they set out to do: get me and the rest of the world in the Christmas spirit.
Which splits me in half between excitement and dread.
 
Excited about the [...]

10/30/09 Five Things Friday

1.   I just realized last night that Avery will graduate from high school in 2027. Twenty-Twenty-SEVEN.  Is it just me, or does this seem like FIFTY years from now???
 
2.   Right now, Boston Market is having a chicken plate for only ONE dollar. Two pieces of chicken, mashed potatoes, gravy and a piece of cornbread. Mmmm. [...]

Five Little Things Friday 10/23/09

Life at Ludicrous Speed

I feel like someone suddenly pressed the fast forward button on my life and left me no time to get anything done. Not only for myself, but around the house as well.
 
Avery wants to be held all the time, and will only sit down for about 10-15 minutes (if I’m lucky) and watch a little [...]

Friday’s Five Little Things

Ok, so I thought I would start a new weekly post. My very first attempt at a “weekly” post. My friend Suz does it all the time but I’m more hit-and-miss, and randomly talk about whatever’s happening in my crazy life at that moment.
Every Friday (hopefully) I will post five thigns I’m thinking about, or [...]

Weathering the Storm

And so it continued last night…
 
I got home and Mom headed out for job orientation (she starts her night job next week.) I walked into the house and was so glad to be home. Avery was taking a little nap, so I had time to run around the house and do some of the things [...]

Worst. Week. EVER.

It’s official. Do you ever have a day where you can almost see the black cloud that’s following you everywhere? This whole WEEK has been like that. I apologize in advance for any swearing I may or may not do in this post, as I have reached the very boundaries of my sanity and I [...]

Case of the…Thursdays?

So last night I was attempting to prepare for a small grocery trip for the second night in a row…procrastinating…I hate grocery shopping, can you tell?
Mikey got home and told me were heading off to our buddies Jeff and Stephanie’s for a cookout and Fantasy football drafting. (I don’t know anything about all that, but [...]

The Jumping Blueberry!

Did you know Blueberries can jump? Here’s your proof!
Well… I think I may be jumping the gun a little on this one…this Blueberry will eventually jump, but for now, she’s content in hanging out in her Jolly Jumper, eating the seat, and periodically pushing her little feet off the floor.
Works for us!
Mikey’s mom gave [...]
