Just a quick update for you all before I call it a night. It has been a LONG day!
I had a nice Sunday at InsaniTea. I have been trying to kick this virus/bug/thing that I got from the girls, so I asked Ingrid to make me up some of her special tea mix to take home. Even the name makes me feel better!
So, I think it says a lot about how highly I think of the kindness and love my daughters possess that I was able to believe that they emptied and loaded the dishwasher last night. Or maybe it was the virus… Anyway, as it turns out, Doug came home before his Friday night job. His car was acting up, so he dropped it at the mechanic on the corner, and walked home to get my car for the evening. When … Read more
OK, I’m am nearly in *happy* tears. Almost 2 hours ago I made the girls ABCs & meatballs for dinner ~ I was feeling horrible. There has been some stomach virus working through the kindergarten, and it appears to be my turn. I was feeling so bad, so half~way out of it, that I did something I have never done before. I told my 5 year old girls to eat their dinner, then wash their face and hands, then clean … Read more

It seems that … Read more
Sunday morning Kyla wasn’t feeling well. Throughout the day she ended up with a fever and feeling very bad. She slept most of the day away. Here she is sleeping on my lap. Poor dear. I hate when they are sick, but she sure looks sweet, doesn’t she? On Monday morning, Vada wasn’t feeling to well, either, so I kept them both home. Vada spend most of the day on the couch with the emergency sick bowl, just in case. … Read more

I’ve been getting so much done! It is nice to be more streamlined. Yet there is still so much to do. A lot of what I have done over the past week has been behind the scenes stuff. I still have to go through a lot of my old posts from before I made the move over to Wordpress, add in the tech stuff, back up the photos, and fix some links. It’s mind~numbing~ly dull, but it should help get … Read more
