My mom was suppose to come with me and the kids to the zoo today, but she just called and cancelled. She is always doing this kind of stuff! And then she wonders why we don't hang out more. So, now, since I already told the kids we were going, I'm going to go with them by myself. I just hope we don't have a repeat of last time. Last time, you ask ( Read more... )

I need to move to Anoka, MN

I've been scarce for a while now, but with two kids and work being absolutely insanely busy I just don't have time to be online much.  I thought work would calm down after I'd been back for awhile, but no such luck.  I'll get semi-caught up for a while only to fall behind again the next week.  I've even been coming in early almost every  morning ( Read more... )

This has not been a good weekend.  First I've barely slept the last two nights.  Saul started getting sick (fever, bad cough) Friday night. This morning his fever was mild and he was acting normal so I decided it was safe to go grocery shopping.  He was running towards the door. No sooner had I said "Saul, don't run...you might fall" than he ( Read more... )

I have got to be the clumsiest pregnant woman alive.  I have fallen 4 times in the last week. Luckily, I have caught myself on something each time, but not without injury at least half the time. First I tripped going down our basement stairs. Luckily Jack (my lab) was standing in front of me so I grabbed hold of him to break my fall. Still hurt my ( Read more... )

Snow, snow, and more snow.  I left for work at 6:30 this morning. I didn't make it there until almost 9:30.  I could post about the whole long drawn out adventure, but I don't want to bore you.  I hope I have better luck tomorrow.

We got Saul's hair cut for the first time yesterday.  His curls were all falling out so he was just starting to look like he had a mullet.  Here's some pictures. (sorry they're not the best but he was a moving target!).  I miss my little boy's curls!

I've been trying to cash out the measly $800 in my old retirement account so that I can pay for part of our roof repairs. I have been going back and forth with my old retirement co and my new retirement co for several months now trying to get the money transferred into my new account. I'm sick of the confusion, frustration, etc, so it seems ( Read more... )

I rode the tram yesterday! Hardly breaking news, but I was a little hesitent about riding it even though I wanted to (I'm scared of heights). It was pretty weird. It looks like it's going pretty fast when you're watching it, but it doesn't feel that fast. I was also afraid it would sway (which would have scared the crap out of me) but it felt very ( Read more... )

Is it possible to gain 6 lbs in a week? I had a dr's appointment today and according to the scale that's how much I had gained since last Monday. I blame my coat. And the cup of tea I had before I went. Surely my coat + the 12 oz of tea would equal a total of 6 lbs? I know for sure the baby didn't gain 6 lbs in a week so the only logical ( Read more... )
