This year has certainly not ended up where I thought it would. Thank God for small miracles, right?! So many things have happened, so I thought I'd do a little Year In Review piece. So here are the highlights from 2010...
1. Vic had pink hair.
This was supposed to be a temporary hair...
Something's going on. I don't know what, but the past few weeks have gone off without a hitch. First, I finished my first semester in school in 10 years with 2 B's and an A. I was hoping for 2 A's and a B, but close enough. It was as much proof as I needed that I am making...
Because Christmas isn't hectic enough, we have decided to squeeze in a trip to Disney World. I've been planning it for 6 months and managed to keep it a surprise the entire time. That's a huge feat for me, considering I can't keep anything to myself for more than a day. Yesterday...
Phoebe was our kitty. She was a year and a half when we got her. Trevor was only 3 months old at the time, so she's been a part of the family practically since we were one. She was extremely needy, constantly competing for attention with the kids, often accompanying them in my...
Is this it? Do I dare dream? Am I nearing the end of wiping poopy bottoms? My youngest just used the potty for the very first time. She's been showing signs of readiness for quite some time, and she finally did it. Based on her brother and sister, I thought I had at...
This is a little late, but better late than never, right? In honor of Thanksgiving, I'm making a list of what I'm thankful for. (Groan, I know, but bear with me.) For Thanksgiving we went home, which mean I didn't have to cook. That's the first thing I'm thankful for, by the...
When I was a kid, I was scared of everything- ghosts, aliens, dinosaurs (I was so sure Jurassic Park could actually happen, I had nightmares about it.) Unfortunately, I seem to have passed the scaredy cat/ worry wart gene down to my son. For example after we returned home from...
Birthdays, Fair, Concert, Mountains...not to mention tests, projects, practicums. Where did the month go?
Im summary, Vic turned 5, and I turned 29...again for about the 4th time. We went to the fair where The Avett Brothers played. I try every year to ignore my birthday, so...
So for the past 5 years I've been through a parental bootcamp of sorts. It started on October 1, 2005 with a beautiful baby girl who was feisty from day 1. She never went through what I call the "blobby" infant stage of just lying there, snuggling, and being adorable. The day...
Today we did the Mud Run. By "we", I mean Wesley did it with his cousins, and I watched the kids. I was there in spirit, dammit, so that should count for something. He came out looking like something I had nightmares about as a kid, so I can't imagine what his own kids thought...
