“A Pair of Shoes”

Saturday, August 30th, 2008

I am wearing a pair of shoes.
They are ugly shoes.
Uncomfortable shoes.
I hate my shoes.
Each day I wear them, and each day I wish I had another pair.
Some days my shoes hurt so bad that I do not think I can’t take another step.
Yet, I continue to wear them.
I get funny looks wearing these shoes.
They are […]

Juggling 4 kids

Thursday, August 14th, 2008

William has discovered one of the bigger perks of having a younger sibling - mom is highly distracted. In the last two days he has helped himself to a box of See’s Candy, a can of Cherry Pepsi, and drank a bottle of pancake syrup. Lets not mention the numerous granola bars and […]

Visiting Hours

Sunday, August 10th, 2008

Early Saturday morning Caskey packed up the three kids to come visit Alexander and I in the hospital. They showed up with McDonald’s in hand which I was very thankful for. I had a few issues with getting my meals in the hospital. Connor was so excited to meet Alexander and he […]

I have always said that the kids show their true personality as early as labor and delivery. Lainy Ann was vacuumed out after 3 hours of hard pushing, today she is still that stubborn. Connor fell out and the doctor had to rush over without gloves on to catch him, today he is […]

Nesting - STILL!

Wednesday, August 6th, 2008

Princess Droppings

This summer has been rough since we all have been home and out of preschool in a too-small house with a too-cranky mommy. The kids are starting to outgrow naps, but I desperately still need one. Also, if the older kids make too much noise then William will never get to sleep. […]

I’m Alright

Tuesday, August 5th, 2008

My kids are singers. They love it when I turn up the volume of their favorite songs in the car and they can just sing along. Caskey says they take after their mommy. Their favorite songs are “Manic Monday” and “Hit the Road Jack”. I made a special mix CD just […]

Get out!

Monday, August 4th, 2008

I’m beginning to see a pattern. My first two children are fast friends and just 18 months apart. They both came tearing into this world early (38 and 37 weeks) when my water broke. William worried me to death his entire pregnancy. Most of that was my emotional status, but at […]
