…two to go.
Closets. And cleaning/organizing them.
In an effort to get the house ready to sell, and to get ready for a garage sale that we’re having next Saturday, I cleaned out Jane’s closet today.
The excessive toys are an embarrassment.
Why do we have 20 stuffed animals? In a black trash bag? Untouched for months?
Sadly, […]

Paul and I were married for 9 years before we had Jane.
9 years.
That’s a long time to be together as a couple, sans kids. A long time to develop relational patterns, habits and routines.
For many years, our nightly routine consisted of dinner, Jeopardy (and sometimes “Wheel”), and then an evening spent together on the […]

I told you so.
And to make matters worse, I overheard a conversation between my dear friend, Amanda, and my sweet husband Paul. It went something like this…
Amanda: “What cute spider cookies!”
Paul: “You’d better not let Cathy hear you say that.”
Everyone present that reads my blog, and heard the exchange, laughs out loud.
(Doesn’t Jane just look […]

While I’m waiting for the time, energy and photos to blog about Halloween, I thought I’d share yet more photos.
Here are the 3 S’s
Sisters
Stubbornness
(Elizabeth trying unsuccessfully to remove her sippy cup from the side pocket of the diaper bag)
Sweet
(sweet Daddy’s devotion to a cold, wet and tired little baby girl.)
I should’ve titled this post […]

I’ve added a new photo of the girls to “The Girls” page.
It seems that the only time I can get them both side-by-side is when they are harnessed in the double stroller.
I think the picture is hilarious.
Here are a few thoughts:
Elizabeth looks like she’s about to get in a street fight. (I can just hear […]

to Halloween.
With a 3-year-old and an 18-month old.
I can’t wait.
In the meantime, here’s my big girl semi-posing at the pumpkin patch.
Isn’t she just too cute?

I just made 50 (and iced 27 of them…I ran out of frosting! *!@#$!) cupcakes tonight for Jane’s birthday party tomorrow.
It’s 10:45pm here. I started at 7:40pm.
I am so done with cupcakes.
I had this genius idea that since Jane is having a Bicycle Birthday Party (in honor of her receiving her first big-girl bike!), I […]

It seems that we may have watched “Monsters, Inc.” one time too many these days.
Consider this dialogue, which takes place in the Monster’s locker room. Mike is preparing to take the lovely Celia out on a date:
Mike: (smelling armpit) Whew. Hey, can I
borrow your odorant?
Sully: “Yeah. I got uh…smelly garbage or old dumpster.”
Mike: “You got […]

…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 […]

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 […]
