My weekend

Haven’t seen my heart aaaaallllll weekend. 
My twins have been gone since 5 Friday… it’s just been me and short legs.  VERY QUIET!  Man, my twins are noisey!  I miss them though.  I don’t think there was an hour that has gone by this weekend that I haven’t thought about them and wondered if they were [...]

Update on HPV shot and a recipe

Meant to blog on this a week or so ago… I sent an e-mail blast to several of my state legislators about this HPV shot being mandatory.  One of about 12 (was he the one with the short stick or are my legislators just not very worried about what I have to say?) e-mailed me back to [...]

Books, Pics, Myths, Potties and Youth Retreats

I’ve been reading the Arthur Trilogy by Kevin Crossley-Holland… good to the last drop books!  I’m a bit of a Camelot/Arthurian legend fan… not a fanatic, just a fan.  And this one’s pretty good.  The author writes mostly short chapters so it seems like a fast read and he’s woven the Arthurian legends into the [...]

The Trouble With People Today…

I love “What About Winn Dixie”… have you read the book??  Seen the movie??  Moira got up this morning with her Daddy and me.  Had a rough start because I needed to be suddenly (at least to her) up and doing things… making breakfast, coffee… finding a clean t-shirt.  She made it back into the [...]

Tip 5

blog tipping in blogger land
So, I’m more than a day late and a dollar short again, but here’s my tip for the week.  And no, I don’t pay any amount of dollars for this kind of stuff, so don’t ask… but if you have any kind of remuneration for the author, my hat is out and up. [...]

OK, somebody else can be the bad mommy now!

First, a yeah!Moira has decided this morning that she knows when she is pooping and peeing.  I asked her if she wanted to go sit on the toilet… firm head shake yes… but it scared her.  Minutes later she came into the living room to get me without her diaper on… she had pooped and [...]

MIA… for real! :)

I’m sorry!  I probably made you all think that I was at death’s door.  And, while my poor breathing IS taking it’s toll on my energy, I am still very much alive.  My breathing woes remain, but it’s not really bad if I have things that I can do… it’s only REALLY scarey when I am wheezing [...]

HPV Shot

OK, you might not want your children looking over your shoulder for this one…
I don’t know what your state is doing, but the KY legislature is hard at work here and I’m a bit worried.  Have you heard about the new HPV immunization?  You’ve probably seen the tv commercials featuring all kinds of women saying [...]

Tip 4

Tipping in Other Pastures
True to my word, I have tried to venture out and find good blogs elsewhere.  My business blog is with blogspot, so I thought I’d look there.  A few other blogs I check out every once in a while mention this guy too, so a good place to start.
Yes, Chris’s Three Hour [...]

It’s a new day

Not sure what has changed (see, that’s one of the really argggg-ing aspects of this sinus/allergy/don’t understand how one “develops” asthma thing), but I slept a little better last night.  Still woke up trying to catch my breath, but was able to get it under control relatively quickly.  So it’s off to the races!  Well, [...]

Sam’s way of thinking…

First, I am just beat!  Up last night at 4 something coughing… not asleep again until sometime after 5:30… Yuuuuck!  So I was in bed until 8:30-ish… a late start for us this morning.  What’s for breakfast?  What will get me going?  No milk… I love it, but it makes the coughing worse.  So, no [...]

Let me catch my breath…

No, I mean it!  I pretty much grew up with allergies (thanks Dad).  I’ve done the shots, I’ve had the ear infections and sore throats… I’ve developed an allergy to aspirin in my adult life.  Basically I’m allergic to everything but food and oxygen.  So I count myself lucky to some degree, only maybe I [...]

What they’re up to…

My wonderful 11 year old daughter sat by my side at the computer today.  She gets this little devilish grin on her face, cause she knows she’s about to get my goat…  bends down kind of close to my face (anybody else and this would definitly be an invasion…) “Have you ever heard that it’s [...]

3 Wooden Crosses and a Baby on a Bus

I have been kind of emotional lately.  Which is out of character for me… at least outwardly.  I’m very blessed to not suffer so much emotional/hormonal overload every month, but for the past couple of months, I’ve had a fair few moments!
Going back to the grandparent’s homes for Christmas for instance.  Tom and I are [...]
