Today

I woke up alone in my bed because PapaBear is trying to stay healthy by sleeping in the playroom.

We were almost late for school because I couldn't find my wallet....again.

I did my hair and applied makeup since PapaBear was home to keep an eye on the kids.

I heard this story on the radio and cried.

There were some great discussions during parent ed. Parenting styles, setting limits etc...

SisterBear and I enjoyed some special time at Target.

I learned that Millard Fuller died early this morning. (I did 3 Habitat for Humanity service projects in college and was a founding member of the school's Habitat chapter.)

PapaBear started collecting unemployment.

I got some real mail from Kelly.

I couldn't stop thinking about how weird it felt to use a different form of communication after years of blog comments and emails.

SisterBear fell asleep eating a donut on the way home.

We made Valentine's at the library.

I suddenly felt 20 decades older after spending 10 minutes surrounded by a group of tweens.

I feared for my daughter's adolescences.

We ate taco's for dinner.

Drank a glass of wine - from a box that is still chilling in our china cabinet.

Gave the dog a bath.

Witnessed BrotherBear calming himself down in order to use polite words to make a request.

Did bedtime by myself.

Watched my favorite show - The Mentalist

Got my boots, coat, and mittens ready for my early morning walk out to open the gate.

Watched Friends.

Crawled into bed.

Read a little from a Tracie Peterson novel.

Crawled back out of bed to comfort SisterBear who has a knack for waking up right after I fall asleep.

This is what I did today.
It wasn't glamorous.
It wasn't earth-shattering.
It was a pretty normal day and that's OK.
Sometimes it's just nice to remind myself what 'normal' is around here.

What did you do?

  1. I'd say that's a down-right productive day woman! You've got me beat! I usually (lately) have grand plans of getting loads of things done on the days I don't go into work....and then 2pm hits and I'm a gonner, for the rest of the evening. Oh well. Maybe someday I'll be productive again. Until then I'll just live through you. :-)

  2. Whew. That made me tired. One of these days I'll have to write up a day in my life. I'll want to remember this someday!

"How can I help?"

So many have asked how they can help MckMama and her family during this difficult time and so I've set up a Care Calendar to help coordinate meals for the family. MckMama is coordinating childcare on her end, but you can contact me for the rest. Please leave me a comment in this message and I will contact you with more information on the Care Calendar as soon as I am able. Please be sure I can get in touch with you through your blog and/or an email address. Thank you for covering my dear friend and her family with prayers!

Elsa's Birth Story

The morning of July 1st started out like all the other mornings this summer. The kids let me sleep until 7:30 and then came in to wake me up. We ate breakfast and I started picking up around the house. We had spent the previous day at the town pool and because the heat index was going to be just as high again we made plans to go to our beach. The kids really wanted to practice their swimming skills but I didn't want to have to pay for the pool again. At 8:30 I lost my mucus plug and my brain started running a mile a minute. Could this mean we're getting close? Could I actually go early for a change?I turned to Google and learned that labor could be hours or days away. I feel I should warn you - if you decide to Google mucus plug be prepared to see photographic proof. Why people felt the need to post pictures to Google images is beyond me!  Moving on..... Just in case I ended up being one of the lucky ones who only had hours to wait until labor started I kept up with my clean

Shabby Apple Giveaway!

Spring is in the air and that means it's time to start thinking about changing over our closets from Winter to Spring. I don't know about you, but that also means it's time to look for a few new pieces to bring new life to what I wear year after year. Today I can make that job a little more fun for you because Shabby Apple is sponsoring a giveaway on my blog! Yeah!!!! I had so much fun looking through their collection of women's dresses and don't even get me started on their adorable line of little girl's dresses ! It's a whole new ballgame for me now that I'm going to have TWO girls to dress. In the end I decided to pick this beauty called Azure Coast to giveaway to one lucky reader because us mom's are always buying things for our kids before ourselves. I just might have to pick up one for myself in time to wear for BabyBear's baptism this summer. It's perfect for nursing moms! Want to win one for yourself? See below , but if you d
