Guest Post at Taming Insanity – Creating Memories… or Not.

October 25, 2011

Ahh… Remember when I was in my late third trimester, putting all the finishing touches on my pregnancy and waiting for my delivery date?  Remember when I only had one baby to chase around, snuggle in my arms and kiss her boo-boos?  Remember when I started feeling guilty that she would never remember her 17 short months [...]

I’m back… but not really

September 28, 2011

Quilts

September 13, 2011

I sit with my back propped up against the couch. My children face me, lying on their backs on the floor. My heart is on one side of my stretched out legs playing with her babies, pretending that it’s nap time. On the other side is my soul, learning how to play peek-a-boo.  Cole pulls [...]

Oh hey, two cute kids laying on their blankets playing with their toys.  Boy kid eyes up girl kid’s Elmo.    Girl is doubtful that this is going to end well, but gives boy the benefit of the doubt. Boy is not deterred.    “NO! My Elmo!”   “Fine. I’ll pull your hair.”   “Screw [...]

SOCS – Putting grad school on hold (for now) (again)

August 21, 2011

I’ve been reading these Stream of Concsiousness Sunday posts for a while now and always thought about jumping in.  Since making the decision I’m talking about below, I’m also trying to write more… more here, more for other websites and more that puts money in my checkbook once in a while.  And of course, after [...]
