Want.

August 16, 2012

I want to blog. I seriously do.  I spend a small portion of every single day thinking about what I want to blog about.  About how I want to get regularly blogging again.  Between two kids, pregnancy, working, a new house and my silly Etsy site, I don’t know where to fit it in.  Beyond that, Brock and I have… Read More

Rope.

July 18, 2012

No sleep. And no patience. And no energy. I’m so tired. I’m tired of being a bad momma, and a bad wife, and a bad housekeeper. I’m tired of being a bad friend. I can’t remember ever having a day as bad as today. I love my kids, I do… but something has to give soon, before I have a… Read More

Nurse Nice or Quit

February 7, 2012

Ruby and I are still nursing.  So very badly.  Every time she nurses, I hate it.  One time out of twenty is tolerable, and even then it’s pretty awful.  See exhibit A. Exhibit A (Warning: video contains lots of boobage.  Not nice boobage either.)  So I’ve decided I’m making a last ditch effort.  Ruby loves to nurse.  She asks to… Read More

Goodbye 2011.

January 3, 2012

I wanted to write this on Sunday, but not much ever gets done on the weekends.  So here goes. My 2011 wrap-up of major events: Ronan played with Fox in the snow. I fell down the stairs. Ruby Kate was born. Ronan turned 2 years old. Ronan was evaluated and found to have a severe speech delay. Our family became… Read More
