I wrote an actual post, a real one! And then accidentally hit the wrong key, sending my browser back a page and my words into outer space. I'm not rewriting it.

The quick version:

• It was another less-than-stellar day. Boo.
• The day is almost over... bed awaits. Yay!
• The new season of Project Runway started tonight. Yay!
• Only 30% of my to-do list got ( Read more... )

I demand a do-over. This day was just... unsatisfactory. Thanks.

Could tomorrow be Sunday, Part 2? Please? I'm not ready for Josh to go back to Chicago, not ready to get the week started, not ready for Monday. The week ahead is very busy and right now sleeping through it seems to be the only option that makes sense ( Read more... )

It feels like it's 4am, not 11pm.... long gone are the days when I was just heading out at this time of night. If I had known then what I know now, I'd probably have partied more (and harder better faster stronger). Honestly, it didn't occur to me then that I needed to get in a lifetime's worth. Perspective is sometimes sudden, like walking into a ( Read more... )

Two weeks ago, to the minute, we were on a plane headed to California. We visited Disneyland and the beach... I loved seeing the kids' faces as they took in every bit of it. There are many photos to upload; I'll get to it eventually. The trip was fun and exhausting in all the right ways ( Read more... )

Today was a good day. The boys went back to school! I love them so dearly, and enjoy spending time with them... but when Josh is out of town it's hard to keep their minds occupied while also keeping the house from falling to pieces. They don't understand why I have to vacuum again, to wash more laundry, to take the trash out again. Why can't I just ( Read more... )

Thanks to everyone who gave me suggestions on where to have my hair cut-- I have so many places to choose from! The challenge is now to pinpoint a day that Josh will be in town to watch the boys. It sounds easy, right?

There's so much going on in my little sphere. The quick -n- dirty update:

• my sister and her boyfriend have been staying ( Read more... )

It was 70 degrees outside this morning when I took Max & Khai to school-- love it-love it-love it. I hope we have a few more days like this in store. There's been a lot of rain, so even though it has been just five days since I last mowed, it needs done again. I'm glad the grass is happy, even if I do have to mow more often ( Read more... )

I have so much in my head that wants to be written... but organizing it into actual, coherent sentences? It's not happening. Never in my life have I had problems writing out the contents of my head, but for most of this year I have just not been able to get the words out. It's disconcerting and just...bugs me more than it should ( Read more... )

The term stay-at-home mom is somewhat misleading. I've been anything but at home. Between swimming lessons and all of the usual errands and shopping, we've been running at a frenetic pace-- but at least we're not bored, right ( Read more... )
