My mom came into town today to celebrate my birthday with me and of course, see the kiddos. I am so excited that she’s here, even if it’s just for a short visit. Of course the kids got bombarded with goodies (as if it were their birthday) the moment she arrived. Will finally got his…

I can’t resist sharing this photo with you even though it’s already on my Project 365 album online. This is actually a still image from some video I captured on my camera tonight. David was entertaining the kids by tossing them onto the couch from the center of the living room and they were LOVING…

Who knew grog was actually a word?! I played it tonight during a game of Scrabble with David and we were surprised it was actually a word. There’s another one for your future Scrabble scramble. grog /grɒg/ –noun 1. a mixture of rum and water, often flavored with lemon, sugar, and spices and sometimes served…

I am feeling like crap today. There’s no easy way to put it. Thankfully my wonderful husband got out of bed to feed the kiddos today without hesitation. He’s been taking care of them all day long so that I could sleep. I did actually leave the house at 11 a.m. though to take Nathan…

That’s all I’ve been hearing since last night. The guest bedroom smoke detector is low on battery and that dang thing has been chirping about once per minute for almost twenty four hours and it’s driving me BATTY!! Of course my wonderful husband thinks he’ll be able to just hop up on a stepstool when…

This morning was so wonderful, despite the rain. In fact, it’s the rain that really made it so great. For one, Nathan’s last soccer game was rained out this morning. He was supposed to play at 10:05 a.m. then they were going to have an awards ceremony and celebration afterwards. Well, when I woke up…

David and I actually went to a movie last night – alone. Just the two of us. It was great! We went to see the new Ben Stiller flick and I thought it was really cute. As we were walking into the 7 o’clock showing, a lady handed us these yellow tearsheet type cards with…

This evening I came home after spending my weekend with my fellow Sisters In Christ at our Christ Renews His Parish (CRHP) retreat. This weekend was the single most awe-inspiring time of my life. I am deeply humbled and honored at the events that transpired and at all of the emotion and renewal that I…

I forgot to post this last night but David and I were up watching Inside Edition when they featured the story about a bumbling Miss Teen USA candidate. David and I were in stitches at about midnight last night watching this. It’s one you’ll want to see over and over again!

I’ve asked David enough times about how to make good fried rice. Well, I finally tried making it at home for lunch and it came out yummy! I don’t normally like peas in my fried rice, but since Will was sharing it with me, I figured I’d throw something green in there for good measure.…
