Exhaustion has a new name - Toddler bed. Boyo managed to escape his crib last week. Apparently he decided that he did NOT need a nap one day and demonstrated it by climbing out of the crib and run around his room. Let me tell you, there is nothing quite like hearing the movement monitor go off (which usually … Continue reading In the Blink of an Eye…

Just a Bump in the Road…
I wrote so much over the holidays that my carpal tunnel started to act up. It's been over seven years since it's bugged me. I honestly thought it would act up while I was in school, but I guess clicking through power point pages isn't the same thing as typing. Where and how I sit when … Continue reading Just a Bump in the Road…
Something Different…
I hope everyone had a good Christmas weekend. We spent Christmas Eve with my side of the family, then we had friends over for a visit. Hubby tackled building a cardboard pirate ship... which was tougher than either of us expected. We should've known it was bad news when the instructions included a link to … Continue reading Something Different…
Houston, We Have a Problem…
Well, we had a problem... The Friday after Thanksgiving, I did a factory reset on my computer in order to fix it. As soon as it was done I went about trying to reinstall Windows 10 only to realize that our internet was too slow to handle the download. Hubby and I thought maybe it was … Continue reading Houston, We Have a Problem…
Thanksgiving…
Tomorrow is turkey day - at least in the US it is. We'll be spending it with my side of the family this year, which will be nice. I haven't seen much of them in the past couple of months because I've been so busy with school. Speaking of school, I register for next semester … Continue reading Thanksgiving…
Re-evaluation…
Halloween is one of our favorite times of year. This year, we're a little behind due to my Husband's grandfather passing away, and the fear of what might happen with the union contract vote (It passed. Phew.). Me going back to college didn't help matters either, but now that the one class is finished, things have … Continue reading Re-evaluation…
Rewards
About a week or so ago there was a thing that went around on Facebook showing someone's study reward system. Basically they had put candy bars after every chapter - which is pretty clever. Unfortunately since my classes are done online, and I have an ebook instead of a text book, I can't really do that. … Continue reading Rewards
Herculaneu…where?
I'm really proud of myself this week. When I decided to change the setting of The Descendants, I thought for sure that I would have to go back and rewrite the chapters I already had. Specifically anything regarding Herculaneum. And then I had an epiphany. It occurred to me that I could leave all the … Continue reading Herculaneu…where?
A Short Break…
I apologize for not posting for a couple of weeks. The regional center recently bumped up the Boyo's therapy from 4 hours a week to 6. Between that and the speech therapy he receives twice a week through our insurance, every single day has something going on. Free time is a distant memory. I did … Continue reading A Short Break…
Something a Little Different…
We survived Easter. Barely. The dinner itself was totally fine. It's just that touching up the cabinets and changing the hardware turned out to be a much bigger ordeal than either myself or my husband expected it to be. It took up most of the day before Easter, in fact we didn't finish until after the … Continue reading Something a Little Different…
