Needing Things to Change
I am so completely stressed out right now. I won’t rehash all the details here, because I honestly don’t want to think about all the crap that’s happened the last six weeks or so, but it involves a LOT of money spent on unexpected house repairs, shady repair people, car repairs, and hours and hours…
Letters to Nolan: 1 Month
Dear Nolan, Today you are one month old! I’m going to try really, really hard to keep up with these pictures and letters for you just like I did for your brother and sister. Please forgive me if I get behind though- life with three little ones is a little crazy! Even though I feel…
Letters to Grayson: 5 Years
Dear Grayson, Happy Birthday sweet boy (1 week late). Yeah, the late thing- get used to that. I am certainly not on top of blogging/memory keeping these days. Between you and your little brother and sister, I barely have time to breathe. Your actual birthday came and went, but your Daddy and I keep marveling…
Nolan is Here!
So, I had a baby two weeks ago. And every night I’ve thought that I really should update my blog, but of course any moments of rest and sleep I can get have won out every time. Nolan Reid was born September 1 at 8:31 pm. He weighed 7 pounds, 6 ounces and was 20…
Halfway through August…
August has been, to put it mildly, challenging so far. I’m 36 weeks pregnant today, and well, I’m just having a hard time. Every morning, I go over my mental to-do list of things that really should be accomplished before this baby arrives, and every evening, it’s all I can do to contain the mess…
Letters to Charlotte: Two and a Half
Dear Charlotte, Two and a Half. I’m not sure what to think about this particular age just yet- the past few days, weeks even, have been quite challenging. I’m not sure if it’s your age or the fact that your mom is 8 months pregnant and it’s the middle of the scorching summer, but everything…
So What Wednesday
So What if I haven’t blogged in weeks…again. These days, unless it’s crucial, I just don’t do what I don’t feel like doing. So What if at the end of the day all I feel like doing is crawling into bed and watching mindless TV or listening to podcasts.? At 31 weeks pregnant, I still…
Just Getting Through the Day
Things have been hard around here. We aren’t in crisis mode, exactly, but the hour by hour, getting through the day has just been a challenge. I’ve been tired, moody and in no mood to do much of anything (hence the 3 week blog silence). The cloud hanging over life right now is how I…
Slowly Getting Back to Normal
Grayson went back to school today! To have him be able to attend summer school post-surgery was a major goal of mine, and I am so thrilled for him (and the rest of us!) that he is able to attend. Sadly, his school was destroyed in the horrible flooding that resulted from Houston’s major storm…
Surgery Recap
Here we are, two weeks post-surgery. I’m glad that two doctors warned me about how tough this was going to be, because I really believe I’ve been able to manage my expectations and emotions really well because I had a realistic picture going into this. What I hadn’t really realized- this would be my last…
