Today EVERYONE went to school!  Wahoo!  I went to work… Boohoo!  No, really after not going into the office for months thanks to summer holidays and the boys health issues… it was time.  There was a pile for me to … Continue reading →

It’s done, minus the pictures and wall hangings.  I love it.  I realized that I have always wanted to decorate a girls room… I feel so fulfilled having been able to do that, it’s just a big girl’s room. I … Continue reading →

Sigh.  I should write that in caps.  SIGH!  Today was the kind of day that was endless, it seemed.  I dropped the boys off at school and came home and spent time doing laundry.  Josh was home, as I mentioned … Continue reading →

I remember being a newlywed and playing this “game” with Sanj… If we were in a boat together and you could only save one person, who would you save, your mom or me?”  You’ve played it with different with different … Continue reading →

Last night I didn’t get home till 10 pm, some of the boys were still up (they never seem to settle when I am gone).  I did this and that and then went to bed.  I was restless all night. … Continue reading →

I haven’t written in a while… not sure why.  Life seems to be so full of stuff to do and yet nothing exciting in all the stuff.  I took a hiatus while my Josh was sick.  I am so glad … Continue reading →
