I was rocking James before I put them to bed. I felt nice and cozy warm, but when I got up, I started shaking. I took my temp, and it was 100.2. Now with the kids in bed, it is 101.4. I’m still shaking, and the reason that I’m posting this is because the laptop [...]

Ada had her first accident-free day wearing panties. She had four accidents yesterday–not a good day at all. I’m hoping that tomorrow turns out as well for Ada, although we may be gone most of the day. It depends on how Mac is feeling since he’s been on the boat the entire day. With sun. [...]

While making drinks for dinner last night, I found a broken glass in the cabinet. We have lots of glasses, so no big. This morning while putting away dishes, I noticed that a plate in the cabinet was broken. It is about a 1/3 – 2/3 split. This is also not that big of a [...]

…the shower broke. It is fixable by us, and not a plumber, but still. It was angry and spurting water all over the place. Good thing I work from home since I probably won’t take one now until lunchtime. More repairs will be made tomorrow–the same plumber to fix the bathroom sinks and a repairman [...]

I’ve caught the cleaning bug. It is a rare, and I don’t know exactly what triggers it, but I just get tired of it all and dig in and clean. On Sunday, I tackled my kitchen. I did the type of cleaning where you take everything off of the counter tops. I did the type [...]

I came home from South Dakota to a broken washing machine, a broken toilet, and one –almost two– broken bathroom sinks. If the shower breaks, our bathroom becomes pointless. We have three, so it isn’t a show stopper. The kids are okay sharing their bathroom with us. As long as we don’t play with their [...]

Day 191: Why do they keep doing this? Ada and I went shopping today. I needed a new wallet*, and Ada needed shoes. I told her we were going out to buy her shoes, and she got really excited. I knew I was in trouble on her first birthday when the only present that got [...]
