Stuology

Around 9:00pm, Jay came into our room to share his brilliant solution to stopping the snot that had been plaguing him all day: he shoved a bead up his nose to keep it in. Wonderful! After a quick look with a flashlight and a failed attempt to get it with tweezers, Mac hauled him to [...]

Mac and Jay just left for Jay’s second trip to the ER in his lifetime. He decided that he was tired of his nose running and shoved some small piece of plastic up his nose to keep the boogers in. It is far enough up his nose that I can just barely see it, but [...]

She’ll have her same teachers in summer, but next fall she will move on to new ones. She has grown and changed so much since she started [...]

I only slept three hours last night, and I finally got home to sit and eat at 8:00pm, although I don’t mind at all the reason for my late home arrival. Now I need to get the kids to bed–late as usual. I don’t feel like I’ve been back to work long enough for this, [...]

Working again is great. The only bad part about it so far is having to get up at 5:30am and my sudden thought that because I’m getting a paycheck again I need some of this jewelry, which is saying a lot because I don’t often wear jewelry. I have worn a necklace to work a [...]
