Nighty-Night

Usually we come straight home from daycare, feed the kids supper, play with them for a while, give them baths (on bath nights) and then put them to bed.
Last night we went to Meijers on our way home (ok, it was a few miles out of the way, but there’s nothing commercial between daycare and [...]

A very, very bad Saturday

Weekends somehow seem to be jinxed  for us.  It seems like more weekends than not, the kids are sick or something else goes wrong.
Today was about as bad of a Saturday as I can remember since we had the kids.
The kids have been sick for the last two weeks.  They were pretty cranky this morning [...]

Hope

The kids are finally feeling better tonight.  Whew.  It’s amazing, the stress level when they’re both sick!  You’re worried they’re going to get sicker, that you’re going to have to take a week off of work, and/or that they’ll be up all night, every night.  Jessie was well enough to go to daycare today, and [...]

The Odd Couple

<cue theme music>
Sam is definately Felix.  I always wondered how obsessive compulsive people got the way they are.  I think probably they were born that way.

How to make your parents feel guilty

Sam’s been waking up every night for the last several (I can’t frankly even remember how many nights in a row she’s done this, could be a week) nights at around 11pm, more or less.  She wakes up crying  just a little and eventually starts wailing.  Matt darts into the nursery (as much as one [...]

The fun never ends…

Yeah, so about that little computer virus…
I haven’t been able to get any of the Microsoft Office programs to run, no matter how many times I tried to install them.  Spent part of tonight uninstalling as much MS stuff as I could, then re-installing Office.  Finally, I have some software. 
Then I tried syncing the ipod.  [...]
