Well today has been a good day. The kids slept in and so did I. I slept until about 9:15. When I went to get the kids Sophia was in her pack n play, saying to herself, "I'm the only... Read more →

Today was a good day. We got up kind of early (I was up with an upset stomach before 8!) to get ready for church. The kids had a breakfast of cottage cheese with peaches, bagels with jelly (Grape for... Read more →

Well, today has been a pretty good day. We got up kind of late, around 9 am. The kids spent the morning playing in their bedroom. (I don't know if I've explained that yet, the kids have their own room... Read more →

Oh boy, the babysitter is tired. Today was a long day. I woke up to 3 wet bums--I didn't get there in time for Chloe to make it to the bathroom so I started out the day cleaning up three... Read more →

Phew, I got the kinks worked out. Just a few more pics from today. Then I'm going to bed. (I've been working on this blog for 2 hours!) Here's a wet Lily after her bath. I'm hoping it helps with... Read more →

Whew, another day down. I've learned one thing, it is probably best to start with one child & learn how to handle that. Three kids is a LOT of work! I'm beat & its only 10:30! I could probably do... Read more →

Nothing much to report this evening. We had good ole Hamburger Helper for dinner with steamed green beans. Jack didn't want to eat his green beans (he loved the HH) but he gobbled them up when I got out the... Read more →

Introducing: Babysitters Steph and Tim: Well, Rob and Melanie are off, so you've got me! I'm Steph, half of Stim. Here's our picture (because I think I look goofy in most of the ones Mel has posted of me!) 'm... Read more →

What a surprise, I can't sleep. So to keep myself from going mad, I have vacuumed the foyer and office filled the cat's food and rearranged the pet food for Steph's easy access read nearly 3 chapters of my book... Read more →

First, a whine: I hurt my hand!! I don't what I did to it but it feels all twisted and tight and... hurty. Actually, I tend to sleep with my hand tucked under me when I snooze on the couch,... Read more →

Saith Sophia to Stephanie on Friday night,"The laundry is like a dinosaur that’s going to eat my penguin!" See? Once in a while I do explain the randomness that is my blog title. And, it appears, Typepad is not going... Read more →

HERE I AM! My monthly 24-hour crochet-a-thon was this past Friday and Saturday, and I stayed up on it all night Friday trying to win (still didn't!!!), so my schedule has been all out of whack because of it. Did... Read more →

No idea why I'm lisping. Random. Nothing particularly spectacular happened today. We all woke up pretty early for us (around 0800) for a summer day, and we were all out of sorts because of it. I was too tired to... Read more →

Last night - well, this morning - I stayed up until about 0500, just on a big sewing roll. First I made the bodice, then I attached the lining. Next came the skirt, with its own lining, and then the... Read more →

Foiled again. I tried to be good. I went to bed much earlier than usual last night, so I could get up early with the kids, go do my errands, and then take them to the pool until Daddy got... Read more →

WW HQ is here. Fin. Read more →

Last week, for the first time, I placed an order with Schwan's Home Delivery. Maybe you've seen their trucks around town, or even in your neighborhood? I had never eaten their food before - though my husband had - and... Read more →

Okay, y'all didn't vote in the poll! There are only two votes, and one's mine, and one's Stephanie's. Y'all need to give me your input on this; I know there are more of you out there than that! ;) So... Read more →

My latest Bzz Campaign is for Ziploc Big Bags. I've actually had this one for a while, but because of the huge morass that is my desk right now, I don't know whether I've got something to offer you to... Read more →

Today wasn't especially awesome for the Daddy in the household today. He had to stand watch again from 0530 to 1730. Is it me, or does every stinkin' holiday fall to my husband for duty? So it fell to me... Read more →
