I have now officially finished my first trip back to work. Honestly, it wasn’t too bad. Pretty much my entire time away was a series of me thinking “I can handle this!” followed by “I can’t handle this!” – repeat ad nauseum. It started with arriving in my domicile on … Continue reading
I have to start this post with a gigantic THANK YOU. After yesterdays emotional ordeal, I was overwhelmed with the outpouring of support and encouragement! To go through a food trial for the first time is scary; to think it was unsuccessful is devastating. But to know that there were … Continue reading
When Jed turned one year old, we had a family celebration on his actual birthday and a party the following weekend. At the family celebration, we served homemade spaghetti and garlic bread, and Darrel’s mom brought a cake for everyone (except me and Jed) to eat. At the party Darrel … Continue reading
Tuesday evening the kids and I were at the grocery store. Jed was entertaining himself by looking at the candy, which, as I’ve already said, the poor child has no concept of. He doesn’t want to eat any of it, he just likes the pretty colors! He grabbed a Snickers bar … Continue reading
Last week was FAAW, as you all know. I had lots of things up on my blog for the occasion, and the internet was all abuzz with allergy awareness. It was glorious! We have a local website, NWA Motherlode, that is a great website with resources for Mom’s in my area, blogs, … Continue reading
Stick a fork in me, y’all, ’cause I’m done. It’s been such a fun week here, why NOT cap it off with a little middle of the night terror-filled screaming for no apparent reason? Seems fitting, right? Last night Zac fought going to sleep with all he had. Finally, at … Continue reading
It’s no secret I have a love/hate relationship with doctors. (See this, this, this, this and this for evidence.) I’d go so far as to say that if you are a doctor I have dealt directly with, there is only about a 5% chance that I have neutral feelings about … Continue reading
My brain is just filled with thoughts of Mother’s Day and Motherhood. I sat down to write a post about it and it was just…going no where. Rather, it was going everywhere! Rambles and oh-so-earnest “lessons” and it just…sucked. Mama’s tired, y’all. And that’s as good a starting point as any, … Continue reading
Saturday afternoon, as I struggled to strap a screaming Zac into his carseat, I looked down to see that – oh my goodness! He got another tooth! Finally. This teething thing was getting old. So he now has 7 little teeth in his cute little head, and I’m sure the … Continue reading
Well. I know you all sit anxiously by your computers, just waiting for my latest post to arrive every Monday through Friday, so I know I’ve been letting you down for the last two weeks with my sporadic posting. <grin> There’s a good reason for my late Zac probiotic update … Continue reading
