Where’s the Beef?

I came across this article online while looking at something else.  For those who are trying to eat more veggies, this will give you a little motivation to cut down on the meat.  It’s an interesting read.

Ahhhhhhhhhh!

It finally happened. Both girls slept through the night.
The world is a much better place today!
I hold no illusions that this will happen again right away, but it was fabulous while it lasted.
Last night was really windy.  Every-so-often we’d wake up because it sounded like the house was going to blow away.  Around 4am, I [...]

Latest Baby Report

The girls are growing up.  Pretty soon they’ll be complaining that there’s nothing to do, and then standing in front of the open fridge, complaining that there’s nothing to eat. 
Over the past week, both have started to try to sit up.  They haven’t accomplished it yet, but they pull themselves up from a recline as [...]

Worst Mother of the Year Award Goes To…

Me. 
I almost took the wrong kid home from daycare yesterday.
There are 5 baby girls about a month apart in the baby room (in addition to a number of older kids that are just starting to crawl and walk).  Two sets of twins and one singleton.  The other set of twins are real cuties, with dark [...]

Before

I thought this was Marci, until I saw the “after” photo.  Someone could have pointed out that the pants and shirt didn’t match, even in the fashion-challenged 70s!  And I’m not sure what Dad’s up to there, but it looks a little creepy.

Happy Birthday Mom

In honor of your birthday, I’ll not post the picture I found the other day.  Out of respect for the elderly, you know.  ;o)

Baby Progress Report

The girls had their 4-month shots this morning.  They did fabulous.  Last time they got shots they were all out of sorts for the rest of the day – everytime we put them down, they’d start to holler.  Fortunately, this time they were pretty good afterwards.
Sam is 22.25 inches long and 10lbs, 6 oz.  She’s [...]

Getting up at 5am on weekends is so fundamentally wrong

We really need to explain the rules of life to the kids.  Weekends are for catching up on sleep. 
Normally (the new “normal” not the pre-kid “normal”), my alarm goes off at 5:30am. I get out of bed, take a quick shower, get dressed, brush my teeth, get a kid out of bed and change her [...]

Why I love that man!

I just finished my lunch and put the Gladware back into the lunchbox.  Saw that there was something odd in the bottom that I hadn’t noticed this morning when I put my lunch in the work fridge.  Matt, who put my lunch into my lunchbox this morning while I was changing Sam, had slipped in [...]

Sleep and Food

My whole life these days seems to revolve around sleep and food – both mine and the babies’.
Monday, one of the babes got up for a feeding around 4am. I didn’t get back to sleep after that.  Tuesday, someone got up at 3am. I didn’t get back to sleep after that, either.  Wednesday, someone was [...]
