We went to the zoo yesterday and spent about 3.5 hours there. It was sunny, hot, and gorgeous! I got a little bit of red on my shoulders, which I am thrilled with. I *love* a little bit of color. The girls were their normal selves. They ran from me when they wanted something they couldn't have, they threw themselves on the ground within 200 feet of ( Read more... )

 Today is Elli's 5th birthday and we are headed to the zoo! We went last week and the kids loved it (even though we spent more time in search of yummy Indian food prior to the zoo than we actually spent at the zoo that day). Today my sister Britt and her partner Chad are going, too. I just paused when writing partner cause I didn't know what to ( Read more... )

I can't take it anymore! I have been having to put my girls on leashes the last couple of weeks if/ when they run away from me. I'm in no condition to carry one or both of them due to back issues that I don't want to aggravate, but have been having to just to get them out of the street/ store/ or wherever it is that they're running. I had to have  ( Read more... )

In Williamsburg we ate at a yummy restaraunt that serves up healthy lunch options to a waiting crowd every day. We ate delicious roast beef on fresh-baked pumperknickle (sp?) and ate some Dancing Deer Molasses Clove cookies for dessert (thanks Lizzy for crying for them, even though you ended up hating them!). OMG I can't stop thinking about those ( Read more... )

We left on SUNDAY, March 16 around 5:45am and arrived at the timeshare in Williamsburg at 5:45pm. We didn't once stop at a fast food restaraunt or any eating place for that matter. I had packed a cooler with lunch meat sandwiches and snacks and milk and we would stop at rest areas and let the kids run an we'd eat there and use those restrooms. This ( Read more... )

My gf took her daughter for another MRI, this time with dye, and the results came back that the spot is not a tumor, but it is what's causing the seizures.  It's called right frontal lobe epilepsy. What they are going to do for now is try to control the seizures with medication (something they've not been able to do yet) and talk about surgery to ( Read more... )

My sister and I went to the Meet The Doulas night last week and there were a lot of people there. It was exciting to see that people were really interested in meeting up with local doulas. My sister had already spoken with Mel on the phone (after I connected the two  :) )  and she really liked her. She also really liked Eileen and Ro (?). Who doesn ( Read more... )

and I'm going to kill my husband's alarm clock. He sets it for an hour before he actually wakes up. So, 5:30 this morning, it goes off. I've been up ever since. I can't just fall back asleep, especially when the damn thing goes off again and again every 5 or 10 minutes! I tried moving to the couch, but it was too late, I was up. Up until a few ( Read more... )
