Do You Have Any Idea…

How many posts I have saved in my drafts? Four. At least four. I’m too lazy to go look right now. They’re posts I’ve started & have every intention of finishing, but then I get distracted by books...

I’m (kind of) Famous!

So if you follow me on twitter, you had to have known this post was coming. Thursday evening, I got a text message letting me know Moyamoya was on Grey’s Anatomy. Which, you know, awesome. Because...

Weekend Update

So you all know how my Friday looked. What I failed to mention in that post is that our family was scheduled for concessions duty at Butter’s t-ball game on Saturday. M had to work, so that duty...

Worth It

I’ll post tomorrow about why Butter’s T-Ball game was awesome, and how Bear made it a little miserable at the end. But this moment right here? Made the entire weekend worth it. That moment & the...

Tales & Woes of a Vomit Covered Mother

This is would be a much funnier if I were remotely joking. Last Friday, Butter got sick. He woke me up at 5:30 in the morning. His bed was covered in vomit, and he – thankfully – managed to get the...

Recently.

Oh hi. You thought I’d forgotten about this place, right? [In truth, I kind of did for a while. It was glorious.] So things that have happened lately in our household. Butter tested for & got into...

We’re Either Really Smart . . .

Or seriously dumb. On Tuesday, M called & finally canceled our cable subscription. At the beginning of baseball season. Right after we got a new TV because our previous one died & we couldn’t deal...

A Trip to the ER

Two Thursdays ago [I wrote this post that day], while we were at dinner with our new friends, Butter went from being happy & having fun playing, to whining that his ear hurt. In fact, this is the...

Self Doubt

On Friday night, I was in full on panic mode. Excuse me, but why on earth did I think I could do a 5K? What the heck had gotten into my head? Thank you, twitter feed, facebook friends, and people...

#PhilliesCharitie s5K

So, I did it. I completed the #PhilliesCharities5K. And it was not nearly as awful as I thought it was going to be. Sure, I finished five minutes slower than I wanted to, but who cares? I got this...

The Potential for Much Awkward

If you’ve met me in person, you know I’m socially awkward. I observe people before I really open up to them & that sometimes comes across as me being rude or thinking I’m above people. That’s so...

Worn

I’m tired I’m worn My heart is heavy From the work it takes to keep on breathing This. Those four lines? Are the way I feel lately. It’s difficult some days to even get out of bed. There are days...

Scatterbrained Blogger

I literally have three different posts started & not published, mostly because I keep getting interrupted when I write them. And then I keep getting tired. And thinking about random stuff that has...

The Bible

I’m talking about the documentary on the History Channel right now. I sat down a couple of hours ago to watch it. Because I’ve been doing work off & on, and doing a few things around the house, I’m...

Flustered & Forgetful

It will forever drive me crazy when I know I have a quality post in my head, but don’t get to write it down before I forget. I should probably start taking notes on my phone, but that would require...

Rare Disease Day

Until I saw it posted on twitter, then on Facebook, I had no idea yesterday was Rare Disease Day. But it’s kind of cool that it was, since there are entire months for certain diseases and cancers....

Whee!

There are a little over four weeks to go until I run the Phillies 5k, and let me tell you, being out for two weeks thanks to the plague & being jinxed definitely hasn’t been helping my cause. I...

He’s Discovered It.

I knew this day was coming. I anticipated it. I mean, there’s a reason I’m teaching him to do laundry already. My four year old has discovered his penis. It happened a couple months ago. I was away...

I’m Ready to Get Back

Tomorrow, I plan on running for the first time in two weeks. You know, for the first time since M jinxed me. My lungs aren’t 100%, but I can’t not run tomorrow. As of tomorrow, I have 33 days until...

Now I’ve Forgotten What I Wanted to Blog About.

Over an hour ago, I sat down with my laptop, planning to write out a post. Because of reasons [two of them, but they're cute so they get a pass], I have forgotten what I wanted to blog about. It...

You Get a Fever, and You Get a Fever, and You Get a Fever! EVERYONE GETS A FEVER!

You know, I thought it would be more fun pretending to be Oprah for a few minutes. It’s not. As of Sunday morning, I still had a fever. I might have had one this morning, but I didn’t to check. I’m...

This is My Cranky Face

I’ve been mulling over this post since Wednesday. I haven’t written it because I’ve been trying not to cough either of my lungs up. I’m rather attached to them, you know. You know how I said M...

Ew.

So I was feeling really good on Sunday. M wasn’t, but he’s felt sick a few times in the past month & I haven’t caught whatever he’s had. He shared opt his time. I was fine on Monday. Tuesday, I...

Feeling Good

Between sore legs, and an angry core (THANK YOU PILATES), I’ve not have a good last few weeks with running. Tonight was different. I pushed myself, but not as hard as I would have last week. I...

An Apple a Day…

You Know What?

When M tries to push me, I always think, “He probably has more faith in me than I do. I can do whatever he’s suggesting. If he thinks I can, why not?” Monday night, I totally should have ignored...

Another Milestone

Today I did something I’ve been looking forward to since I found out Butter was a boy. It’s something he has been asking about for well over a year. I signed him up to play T-Ball. And is it weird...

I Have Nightmares About Things Like This

I’ve literally woken up in a cold sweat after having dreams about falling down stairs with one of my children in my arms. It kind of happened today. I mean, I fell up the stairs, but in my defense,...

48 Questions

I stole this idea from Shireen, who stole it from Emily. And I’m okay with that. 1. WERE YOU NAMED AFTER ANYONE? My middle name, Elizabeth, is after my dad’s grandma. My first name is quite the...
