This past week life reminded me how the more time passes the less things change. A family friend for almost as far back as I can remember took a nasty spill due to excessive ice. He was home alone at his farm. The fall resulted in a broken leg that required surgery. His kids came […]
It has been a busy, fulfilling few weeks. Having Marit & adjusting to life with a new baby keeps me busy. Magnus is growing like a weed. He isn’t walking yet but he takes steps when nobody is paying attention. Pretty soon he’ll be running everywhere.
Too keep myself from getting bored I’ve jumped feet […]
Magnus is a big brother now. It came five weeks early & I certainly wasn’t ready for him to be a big boy yet. I’ve been feeling a little guilty about it in fact. Going into the hospital like I did left him suddenly without Mom. It was hard on me so I imagine it […]
Nothing compares to having kids. They are both the joy & bane of any parents’ existence. Their antics can amuse or frustrate (often times both). There’s all kinds of blogs, books, seminars & advice on how to raise your children. I’m not even going to pretend I have any answers. In the game of being […]
The other night I was chatting on Twitter with a couple friends & we were discussing having kids. It started out being a silly discussion on how I should just let my kids run free range (no diapers) so that I could spend my money on ice cream instead. One of the ladies said, “I […]
As I mentioned in my last post I’ve taken to running around sans pants. Combine our current heat wave (August, I don’t care that you’re the home of “the dog days of summer”, you can just behave yourself) with an increasingly prominent baby bump and pants are even less appealing than normal. The heat index […]
I have a lot in my head but it is hard to put to the page. This month is flying by in many ways though some days seem to drag.
The heat has been record setting and there is no end in sight. Normally I don’t mind the heat & humidity of our summers […]
I’m tired. Not just physically but emotionally & mentally. My week is always a challenge when Abe is out of town. This week is no different. I have spent a couple days with my brother and his family which helps me feel less alone. Magnus is fun, makes me smile and gives me great snuggles. […]
Today is May 25, 2011… There are 531 days until the November election in 2012. I’m already so sick of hearing about it that I’m tempted to delete anybody from my online life that talks about it.
The Republicans don’t like anybody from the Democrats. The Democrats detest anyone who is conservative. Then there is […]
