Transition Talk Thursday
Well, well, well, here we are again at Transition Talk Thursday. I’m going to be honest; unfortunately, this week hasn’t gone as well as last week. It all started with going out to see Dr. Dog on Thursday night – no time to work out & dinner out on the town. I had Staff Development [...]
Dr. Dog & Hookers
Thursday night Brett & I went to Dallas to see Dr. Dog, one of my favorite bands. This was an especially ‘special’ night because I haven’t been to a concert since going to see Wilco in Houston last year. I was about 8 weeks pregnant & had just (that day) been diagnosed with the kidney [...]
Transition Talk Thursday
I promised last week that every Thursday I’d give you an update on how I’m doing with my transition to flab to fab, so here’s the first installment of…dun dun dunnnn…Transition Talk Thursday. I must say, I’m pretty damn proud of myself. I took Suzan‘s advice and created a profile on About.com’s Calorie Count site.* [...]
Friendship
You would think that at 3 years old, everyone would just play together, squabble a bit over toys, but ultimately be friends, right? Right?? Those of you with children older than 3 are probably laughing at me. Every day, Mazzy comes home from preschool with a report on who is friends with who at school [...]
Transition Time
Today I’m going to talk about me for a bit. I’ve come into a bit of a transition period lately. I’m trying to do some things for myself, which is always a good thing, right? I’m taking a photography class, and I’m enjoying that. I’ve always been interested in photography, and fortunately for me, my [...]
Where, Oh Where Can My Baby Be?
Mazzy & Jack – Easter 2009 Jack is rapidly growing up. It just kills me. I want him to stay my little baby forever, so I can keep chomping his cheeks and kissing him whenever I want. Soon enough he’ll be telling me to leave him alone & then ask me for the car keys. [...]
Sending Love
Just wanted to post a quick note that today I’m sending love to Maddie’s family, as they hold her memorial service. Back to regular posting tomorrow.
Maddie Spohr
On Tuesday, little Madeline “Maddie” Spohr passed away unexpectedly. I’ve never met Maddie, but have read her mother’s blog, The Spohrs are Multiplying, for quite some time. Maddie had the most amazing smile, and a bigger heart than could be contained in her tiny body. She touched people around the world, including myself, with her [...]
Fat Chicken
Mazzy: After I eat all this dinner, I WILL be a fat chicken. In response to her Pa Pa calling her a Fat Chicken (as a term of endearment).
It Finally Happened…(and it was worse than I thought it would be)
I woke up just after midnight Monday night because my forehead was suddenly stinging. Bad. I was sound asleep, so I was in that weird sort of state when you don’t know if what you’re feeling is real, or just a dream. So I sat up for a minute and felt around on my head. [...]
