Sunday, August 24th, 20082 years ago I had my hysterectomy and left ovary removed. I couldn’t be happier to be living without my uterus. It still is surreal when others talk about cycles and such stuff. It seems like a lifetime ago that that was part of my life. Having the hysterectomy [...]
A Nation of Wimps
Thursday, August 14th, 2008I picked up this book several months back and read it while the kids were at swimming lessons. It certainly was a great read and full of so many helpful hints and thoughts about raising healthy, independent children. I meant to give my full review at the time I finished it but time [...]
Feeling Africa
Monday, August 11th, 2008Yesterday I went to my favorite quilt store and bought some new fabric for a lap quilt. I found some that just screamed Africa to me. I love it. Today I cut it and pieced it together.
It is hard to see in the photo above but the bugs are metallic. [...]
Breaking Dawn
Monday, August 4th, 2008While I enjoyed the happily ever after of the book I found many of the plot twist preposterous! I would not have read it if it were not for the previous three. I think that this was a huge disappointment to her writing ability. Absolutely absurd at times, I thought I [...]
Let ‘Em Go
Thursday, July 31st, 2008This is a new low in helicopter parenting:
Parents want written updates, too. “We’re forced to tell parents everything the kids have done,” said June Ingraham, spokeswoman for camp Sail Caribbean. “Like, ‘They sailed from point A to point B; they went on land; they took a hike; they got ice cream at a local shop [...]
Fiestaware
Tuesday, July 29th, 2008One of the other serious love affairs in my life is with Fiestaware. I began collecting many years ago and I have built up my assortment of colors through the years. I have all the colors that have been available in mass production since I started collecting except for black and white. [...]
Words of wisdom from myself
Monday, July 28th, 2008Today I was chatting with a friend and I was reminded of this post I made. We were actually talking about sleepless nights and that is what made me think of that post and that memory. Course as I was re-reading the entry I found a wonderful passage that I wrote for others [...]
They Just Watch
Saturday, July 26th, 2008As I write this, my girls are watching Postman Pat after having just finished with Theodore the Tugboat. Sandi and I are so happy that the marketing minds behind Qubo have been utterly unable to turn these and other programs into any sort of merchandise. I look at friends whose kids are enamored of Thomas [...]
Time for reflection
Friday, July 18th, 2008This process takes you on such an emotional rollercoaster. It is hard to put it exactly into words how you are okay with waiting but want to see/hold your child NOW! In an attempt to pull myself out of my funk that I have been in over not having a referral, I have [...]
Makes them laugh
Monday, July 7th, 2008Dear Readers,
I have never understood why children think words like underpants, fart, or burp are hilarious. If anyone has any ideas please let me know.
Yours Respectfully,
Sandi
Reason #243 why I love summer
Sunday, June 22nd, 2008Because the kids are wearing bathing suits all the time the laundry is way down. I just finished the laundry for the week and rather than the normal 10 loads it was just 5 loads!!!!! WOOOHOOO
*No I don’t really have a list but I do love summer a whole lot and [...]
My absence
Saturday, June 21st, 2008I am a pretty avid blog writer and I value the information I have put into this project so much. All my childrens histories are packed into the wonderful space where it is all catalogued and saved perfectly. I can search this site and find anything I want to recall, and since I [...]
Mother’s Day emotions
Sunday, May 11th, 2008For me this day is a very emotional one. I am going to paste my last year entry because it sums up exactly how I feel. I believe every word of it and it still rings very true for me. The emotions I feel each year are as follows:
Happiness and Price: First, [...]
Are you a non-mom?
Saturday, May 10th, 2008NBC and Teleflora have decided to hold a contest to bring glory to all the moms out there. You can go to their site and nominate your mom. Wait … don’t rush over just yet. You would have to pick a category for your mom. Sure there are the traditional choices [...]
Cupcakes rule!
Wednesday, May 7th, 2008Today Sprinkles opened up in Scottsdale. Unfortunately we were not there. I have come down with a horrible stomach virus that is keeping me down today.
I just love cupcakes, the right amount of cake with the right amount of frosting. No extra cake sitting around begging you to [...]
Growing older
Wednesday, April 30th, 2008A person is always startled when he hears himself seriously called an old man for the first time. ~Oliver W. Holmes, Sr.
I have never been afraid to age, thinking that it was just the next step, but today I was alarmed by the fact that I am aging. It is so odd that [...]
The School Board
Wednesday, April 30th, 2008After much consideration I have decided to become a member of the Preschool Board. I know this will make some new demands on my time and I know it will stretch me just that much further, but I feel like it is the right thing for our family. The Preschool is so wonderful [...]
Giving back
Tuesday, April 8th, 2008The other day the girls and I were watching a program on PBS. It was a wonderful program talking about Africa. The things they were talking about were hard to hear, but the fact that my three little girls were so interested in seeing “Ethiopia” was so heart warming. It reminded me [...]

( ) Watched someone die
( ) Been to Canada
( X ) Been to Mexico

Registered for Preschool
Friday, March 28th, 2008Today was preschool registration. Yesterday I was pretty upset at the fact that most of the slots were filled with current attendees who get first dibs. In fact, the class that I really wanted is completely full and we are on the waiting list. Thankfully there was still a three day program [...]
