This weekend has been a tough one. All 4 kids are sick. We are down to just coughing and sneezing and sniffling...but Friday and Saturday there were also fevers and 1 throwing up. It was an exhausting weekend. We still managed to record some memories, though! We got our tree up - and all the other decorations around the house. I am planning on...
Okay...after this post I only have one more post with theses "truths". It was fun for a while but I'm too excited about other things going on that I want to write about and this is starting to be a bit of a chore. Here it goes, though, Day 28 and Day 29: Day 28: What if you were pregnant or got someone pregnant,...
Okay ~ let's get Day 27 out of the way. I have to admit that the first 2 to 2 1/2 weeks of this was kind of fun. Now it's getting to be a bit annoying. I don't think the questions are as good as the first ones - but I'm going to finish. Only 3 more to go after today! Whoo Hoo!...
I'm not sure how I came across it the first time exactly...but you may remember this post where Nate and Danika asked if we could have some elves visit us for Christmas. Well...Tinsel and Holly arrived on Thanksgiving morning! The kids were super excited and have had them with them since then...except at night when they have to put them to "bed" so...
Interesting question...the truth is I have thought about it. However, I never really seriously thought about it...at least I don't think it was really seriously. Last summer was a tough one for me emotionally and I felt like staying in bed all the time and wanted everyone to just leave me alone for a few days...but that is probably the extent of me...
Day 23: Something you wish you had done in your life. I wish I had traveled more and to farther away places before I had my kids. I know that there is still time and a chance that I will travel later in life - but I kind of wish I would have already done it so I could tell my kids about all...
I decided to skip yesterday and do Day 21 and 22 today. First, because I can. Second, because the question for Day 21 just didn't seem to be enough to write a whole blog post on...I was going to try ~ but by the time I got around to being able to turn the computer on I was just too tired. Plus, I...
Okay...let's get this over with. If it's one thing I'm not comfortable doing it's talking about religion or politics...I'm not exactly excited to share my views on gay marriage or drugs and alcohol either - you may remember me mentioning I'm super non-confrontational? That's why. So, here it goes anyway...it'll be quick and hopefully painless. Day 18: Your views on gay marriage. My views...
Okay - I'm behind on my blog writing. Tough. That's exactly why I didn't sign up for NaBloPoMo and only decided I'd do the 30 Days of Truth this month at my own pace...kinda. However, there is something more important I have to write about today. So, tomorrow you will hear Days 18 - 20. You will hear all about my views on...
I love to read but I am not one of those people who read the same book once a year because they love it so much. I usually read a book and then move on to the next - I've even been getting rid of the books I've already read because I just don't have the space to keep them around anymore. I...
I love gossip. I can't imagine that feeling of being out of the loop all the time. Jerry stopped using Facebook about a year ago. Just stopped cold turkey. Canceled his account. Now ~ he checks my Facebook every once in a while...and of course, I tell him what so-and-so posted as their status or ask him if he heard about this or...
30 Days of Truth
Day 15: Something or someone you couldn’t live without, because you’ve tried living without it.
Wow...I came up with so many answers for this question. Let me just run down the list of thing I can't live without. Jerry - over the summer he took 2 trips where he was gone over night. One of the trips he was gone for 2 nights. I survived...but barely. I give single mom's all the credit in the world. I couldn't...
So...I plan on doing a second blog post later today (Two in one day!?! What has gotten into me?) about the next "Day" in my 30 Days of Truth but I wanted to post my meal plan today because I actually took the time to plan it out Saturday and did my shopping yesterday! (Grocery shopping on a Sunday?!? What has gotten into...
I resorted to an old high school/college trick I used all the time (which I'm sure is used by others ALL the time, too) to try to answer this because I was having a VERY tough time with it. First of all...I couldn't think of any of my heroes. Then, once I did come up with a few I realized that none of them...
