A Bouncing Birthday

Having a child whose birthday is in November makes birthday party planning difficult. You never know what the weather will be like so you end up having a party indoors somewhere since you have to book a place relatively early. That’s how it was this year with Lucy’s party. The weather on the day of her party was fairly nice, and I told Joe we totally could have gotten away with a park party. But, we booked a party at a local bouncy place, and I am SO GLAD we did. I didn’t have to do ANYTHING except show...

The Thanksgiving Curse

November 26, 2012 in Family, Food, Grrr, Holidays, Life

So, Thanksgiving. Yeah. It probably ranks up there with all the other holidays I would love to forget. Which would be every other Thanksgiving when we’re scheduled to go to Joe’s parents’. You see, we’re cursed when it comes to the Thanksgivings we spend...

Lucy’s Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Birthday

November 22, 2012 in Life, Lucy, Lucy's Milestones, Memories

My sweet girl turned 3 yesterday (seriously, WHERE does the time go??), and we had an awesome day planned. After she played for a while in the Power Wheel we got her, we were going to grab donuts for breakfast (our tradition), and head...

The Rocking Chair

November 15, 2012 in Life, Lucy, Memories, Parenting

Last night, I rocked my daughter. That may not sound like a big deal, but in our house, it is. You see, ever since Lucy was a baby, it was her Daddy who rocked her. I was lucky in that every time she woke...

Lucy, Lucy, Lucy the Explorer!

November 12, 2012 in Life, Lucy, Lucy's Milestones

You guys. My princess is turning 3 in NINE DAYS. I KNOW. Seriously. How did we get to THREE already? Wasn’t it just yesterday that she was born?? Since Lucy’s birthday typically falls around Thanksgiving (this year it’s the day before), we normally have...

Little Sponges

November 9, 2012 in Cats, Life, Lucy

Being that Lucy is a toddler, we are constantly disciplining her (or so it seems). Don’t climb over the arm of the couch. Don’t jump off of the couch. You get my drift. Today, while I was doing some work in the living room,...

How my Child Voted for the Wrong Candidate

November 6, 2012 in Grrr, Life, Lucy

I’m a big proponent of teaching kids the importance of voting early. Ever since Lucy was born, I’ve taken her with me every Election Day. This, however, was her first Presidential election. In 2008, she hadn’t been conceived. I was excited to take her,...

Let Me See That Tootsie Roll

November 5, 2012 in Holidays, Life, Lucy, Memories

We had a fabulous Halloween, and my little Tootsie Roll stole the show at every event. As I mentioned before, she won second place at this year’s Kiddie Day Parade, which she was SUPER excited about. Then, there was the costume contest at our...

Post-Op and Sickness

November 2, 2012 in Health and Fitness, Life, Lucy, Sickies

Yesterday was my post-op appointment. I always have mixed feelings about this because, while it is nice to be able to breathe and blow my nose again, it is a pretty painful procedure. I mean, having a metal instrument stuck up your nose to...

Post Surgery, Day 1

October 30, 2012 in Life, Surgery

So, yesterday was my second sinus surgery in two years. My doctor told the husband that it went well. Apparently, one of the sinuses on my right side was one of the most disgusting things he’d ever seen. Good to know, huh? The surgery...
