The foot doctor gave me anti-inflammatories that I can’t take because of Evan, so today I have the personality of a wild boar with rabies. Every time I put my foot up, the little gremlin takes a swing at my swollen toe like it’s a ball on a tee. The evil dryer won’t work even […]
The Climbing Center should have parent/toddler play time. Evan laughed and giggled with glee the entire time. Sarah monkeyed her way up the walls faster than most of the boys and adults, but I think she enjoyed being the center of attention for half a dozen teenage Boy Scouts more than anything else.
Dr. C: “Well, at least the bone chip isn’t floating in the wrong place.” Me: “Um, yay?” Nurse: “I think a broken toe has to be one of the most uncomfortable things ever.” Me: “Ummm.” (thinking about childbirth, my mother’s knee replacements, my grandfather’s cancer, etc.) Nurse: “Well, I guess there are things that are […]

Poor Molly cushioned the weight of my body falling, but my foot slammed hard onto […]
Tomorrow is “Make Up Your Own Holiday” Day. What will you be celebrating?
Me: “Everything on our calendar is yours or the children’s.” Doug: “Well, you could take Noah to Boy Scouts.”
It’s the weekend and nobody reads blogs, so I’ll use this ‘conversations with myself’ time to make the post I said I would write about my eventual demise. As much as I find family cemeteries to be comforting to those left behind, I don’t want to be buried on the other end of the state, […]
What do Evan’s head, Sarah’s arms, Doug’s legs and my chest have in common?
Today’s weather was wonderful and the cousins are in town, so we spent the day at the zoo. We started off with a picnic and cookie cake. Then we played in the Kids’ Cove water and sand areas.
