"Oh, good. It's just snot." -Said by The hubster this evening while getting the kids ready for bed.  The alternative was icky and not snot. (Though snot is in itself plenty icky- not near as bad on the scale.) Thanks Sean.  Spilled beverages today:  3- 2 of which were milk--one of which I indeed cried over, despite the saying in my head not to.  Frozen shirts on the line yesterday: 4--that was when I decided that it was indeed too cold to hang clothes outside despite the sunshine.  Today fared much better for drying. Head colds: 2- Charlie and Me (and hopefully not my madre anymore- feeling better yet, Mom?) Boxes of books unpacked: 7.  I loved opening every one of them and seeing old friends.  Nails almost ripped from flesh while getting 7 boxes of books: 3.  I had lovely, oh -so- pretty gel nails for my sister-in-law's wedding two weeks ago.  Now they are just long and dangerous.  So I clipped them and feel much better. (Th...

Walking home from taking the middle child to preschool I felt the need to blog.  Wee #3 is napping and I get to Click, Clack, Moo for a minute.  I gave up soda for Lent . Wouldn't be a big deal if I weren't so addicted to it (which is kind of the point).  So I'm going through withdraws;  though  my caffeine withdraws are over so now it's just the pining for forbidden not-so-fruits.  Occasionally I get grumpy.  Don't let Sean tell you that it happens to be more than "occasionally".  He's lying.  I wore my "Drink Dr. Pepper" shirt the other day because then *I* couldn't see the sign :) I'm a rebel.  Giving up something for Lent is not common among my religion but I think it is a good practice to go without for a time to grow in appreciation.  For many things in life not just soda. (Because we all know soda is so good for our bodies that going without it really shouldn't be a sacrifice--and yet the idea is to give our w...

So I've been holding off on showing pictures of our house until we're more settled in.  As in CLEANED UP. But that may be a while.  I know a few people who want to see it in all it's "glory".  We are in fact living here.  Which explains the mess.  (I know I should be cleaning instead of blogging but I have all day to do that and the boychild is napping...) Also after listening to "Gifts of Imperfection" (audio book ) I've decided to show you the REAL thing.  I did make my bed before taking pictures. But that's it.  Here she is, with no further ado (and still no name) OUR HOUSE:  When you first walk in you will see this: Our living room. Conduit on the ceiling means our house won't burn down from crazy old wiring.  Looking back to the front door now.  (All of the decorations on the mantel are so I can see them all and take stock of what I want where.)  (Still standing at the door) to your left we have the craft/play/c...
