Weigh-in Wednesday and Shredding Day 3

Alternate post title: “Saj and the Terrible, Horrible, No-Good, Very Bad Day”

Let me preface this by saying that there were some definite highlights to today, but they’re being overshadowed by the lowlights. Let’s start with the positive: * It’s sunny and in the low 50’s-a lovely spring day in southeastern Wisconsin * My dear, […]

Betty Brinn

The other day, I took the boys to Betty Brinn where we met their friends, Maddie and Katie, and their mom (my friend), Steph. It was a little chaotic. There are tons of things to see and do, and numerous places to see and do those things. Add a couple of field trips and other […]

Krazy Kid Kwotes

A few days ago, I discovered yet another pair of Noah’s jeans were on the verge of tearing at the knee. Seriously?! Anyway, I said something to Noah about it, and he said, “I’m a knee holer!” No kidding.

*****************************************************************

The other day, it was pretty sunny and the sun was shining in through our […]

No dice

This morning, I called the open enrollment coordinator who was out of the office for the past two days. I got her voice mail again! But I left a voicemail, and she called back a few minutes later. Noah is 29th on the waiting list-for 12 spots. “You should probably think about some other options.” […]

Mom’s Day

Yesterday at Noah’s school, it was “Mom’s Day.” The moms are invited to stay at school for the first 45 minutes. Noah’s class sang us two songs: “We Love our Mommies” (sung to the tune of “Where is Thumbkin”) and “I Had a Little Turtle”. Then we had a snack served on placemats that the […]

Saturday morning fun

This morning, Andy and Noah got out the dominoes. They built a line to knock over, then Noah headed upstairs to get dressed. This is how I found Andy and Caden a few minutes later.

We kept telling Caden to not get too close and to wait for Noah. He was quite patient. I […]

Counting down

I never like to wish time away. Of course, there are days that I want to pass as quickly as possible because there are things to be done that aren’t too pleasant. Like a colonoscopy, or really, the day before! Or the day I took my PT board exam. Or each of the two days […]

Time for some pictures

Today was a gorgeous, COLD, sunny day here. On the way home from picking up Noah from school, my car said it was 17 degrees. UGH! It’s March 12!!! But it was incredibly sunny and at this time of year, the sun is much warmer than January, so you can fool yourself into thinking it’s […]

You Capture (and a funny phrase)

The theme for You Capture this week was “texture.” I really struggled with this for a while. I think it’s partly because I’m feeling sort of uninspired. I feel like we’ve been waiting forever for spring, and it’s taking its sweet little time coming to my part of the world. Take, for example, the temperature […]

Weekend synopsis

This weekend has been tiring. Actually, just last night was tiring. And not just because of Daylight Savings Time.

Andy’s sister, who turned 30 on Thursday, had her birthday party last night at Mo’s Irish Pub. We met there around 7:45 for dinner, but didn’t order until 8:30. We had two long tables reserved for […]
