I made the mistake of taking my prenatal vitamins before finishing my breakfast this morning. Ugh. Cue nausea all morning. I know better than to take anything that has B vitamins in it if I don’t have a full stomach, but somehow I got distracted. Then I went and brushed my teeth. I’ll leave the [...]
Just wanted to say Happy Thanksgiving! I’m probably cooking, cleaning up after the cooking, or recovering from the eating. I hope you got to spend the day with good company and good food whether you celebrate Thanksgiving today or not. I’ll be back when I recover from the turkey coma.
One of my biggest gratitudes in life is my husband. We met through friends. My best friend is married to one of his best friends, and they decided to set us up. The first time we talked on the phone, we talked for hours. His phone kept cutting out and he kept calling me back. [...]
Today, I’m making up for yesterday when there was a massive storm that kept me off the computer. So, to start off with, I’m grateful for rain. Even when it comes in a massive storm that has the lights flickering and the dog glued to my leg. I live in an area that has been [...]
Today I’m grateful for the baby. Every day I’m grateful for the baby, but today I’m focusing on it. I’m grateful that conceiving went fairly easy–it only took us two months of trying. I’m grateful that my age and weight don’t seem to be creating any huge problems. (Fingers crossed that I didn’t just jinx [...]
Okay, this one is a bit weird, but it’s Saturday. I can be quirky, right? Today, I’m grateful for squirrels. Not just any squirrels, but the ones that live in my neighborhood. We have mostly brown squirrels, but we also have one white one. I don’t think she’s albino. At least, she doesn’t have the [...]
For Day 2 of Thankfulness Week, I’m focusing on being thankful for my house. It’s an old house, built in the 1940′s. It still has most of the original wood trim and the orginal cabinetry, which is sometimes a feature and sometimes a bug. I’m not entirely convinced it doesn’t have some of the original [...]
I have to drive through downtown to get to my job. I noticed the other day that the city had put up their Christmas decorations. Our downtown looks pretty when all gussied up for Christmas, but really? It isn’t even Thanksgiving yet. I like to deal with each holiday as it comes (not including Christmas [...]
You know, being a mom-to-be at 37 comes with a few worries. The doctor seemed to enjoy giving me statistics like “your baby has a 1 in 456 chance of being green and purple” and other info that was clearly not designed to make me relax. But you know what I was actually worrying about [...]
You know the story: Mom comes home from work after a long day, or maybe her long day was chasing the kids around the house. Either way, she’s tired and doesn’t really want to cook dinner. But she does, because <strike>she’s the only one who knows how to cook</strike> <strike>she’s the only one who will [...]
