April, 2010

Today was not one of my more triumphant days as a mother.   Bitterly magnifying the defeat is the fact that it should have been a day when I was a Hero.   But sometimes even the best player strikes out, right?? I got tickets to take the boys to "A Day Out With Thomas" at our local city railroad museum.   He was only in town for a few…

Yesterday I was just about 90% sure that I was in labor.   At 10 am I started having contractions that felt like the worst period ever, and they were radiating through my back and down my legs.   I could barely walk or talk at all during them.   I tried all the things that I supposed to help you decide if it's "really labor" like: drinking a ton…

Yes, Cooper's hair still sticks straight up... He's had at least a dozen haircuts in his 22 months of life, and no matter the length, he always looks a little like he's just stuck his pinkie into an electric socket. Today Cooper and Kenny were wrestling... something that I, having no brothers, really don't get, but Casey assures me that they will do this until one of them graduates high…

Mondays are never the easiest day of the week.   There's always too much to do, and everyone is always bummed to see the weekend come to an end.   Kenny and Cooper seem to consistently get what I call "The Monday Boo-Hoos" the moment they realize that Casey is actually going to work.   Couple that with the occasional Mondays that he travels, and we have Boo-Hoo City. Today…

Last night Casey looked at me and my giant almost 36-week0sized belly and said, "You know, even if you don't want to, you should try to blog a little, at least in these last few weeks of pregnancy.   You don't want to lose these memories..." And he's right. First, there is really no reason that I stopped blogging.   I guess I just got wicked busy, and after days…
