Our Babysitters…

…are single-handedly renewing my faith in the youth of America.
This past week we had a “new” babysitter keep the girls, so that we could go out with our LIFE group and celebrate both Ande and Amanda’s birthdays.
“New” because, though Sarah has kept both Elizabeth and Jane many, many times in the nursery at church (and […]

There’s a new chair for you to check out…look on the sidebar, or click “Chair of the Week” above.

It’s Official…

…the girls have giardia, too.
And since it’s been over a week since I was on medication for it, we’ve probably reinfected me as well. Which means that Paul probably has it now, too.
Sigh.
Jane’s birthday is next week, so I thought we’d just go on and buy her one of these lovely fuzzy Giardia dolls to […]

Lost…and Found

After much processing, I think I’m ready to blog about my counseling, both last week’s and yesterday’s session.
Last week, my counselor asked me what I have been feeling lately.
I struggled to find an answer. Where to start? Right at that moment I just felt numb.
When I finally answered, the only word that would come was, […]

Good News Bad News

My lab tests are back.
Or at least the blood testing ones are. My stool sample (yes, I had to do another one of the blasted things!) results have yet to come back.
Good news: almost everything is normal; I don’t have Celiac disease, H.pylori, or problems with my pancreas, and I’m not pregnant.
Bad news #1: this […]

From Blue to Purple

I took this quiz a few days ago, for fun, and halfway through it thought, “I think I’ve done this one before!”
Sure enough, I did this quiz back in March, a mere 2+ months into my life as a blogger.
Back then, I was blue.
Now, I’m purple.

Accidental Wisdom from Jane

Honestly, I’m beginning to wonder if Jane has a direct line to God.
Here’s today’s installment with background info:
Jane woke up crying this morning around 7, and I was having a hard time waking up, so Paul brought her in to me and we laid in the bed for a little bit while I woke up.
Jane […]

Garlic Roasted Potatoes

Okay. So I’ve never been much of a “Food Network” watcher.
I mean, what’s so thrilling about watching someone else cook, right?
Plus, these food shows usually make really difficult recipes with really obscure ingredients from really hard-to-find food specialty stores and require really specific kitchen equipment that I don’t have and don’t want.
But the other day, […]

October in Florida

Crisp autumn winds blow
across my skin, and breathe Life
into listless bones.

Future Art Lover

Just so you know, it appears to be “Jane Says Really Funny Stuff” Week.
I have a T-shirt that is nearly identical to the one pictured above. I think Julie gave it to me when I was in college.
I love it.
And I love mine best of all, because the smiley faces are more round, and […]
