Grrrr. The counter guys did not come today. I was told they would come today, and though I tried REALLY hard not to get attached to the date, here I am, disappointed that my kitchen won’t be done this weekend.
When Husband called this afternoon, the woman he spoke to said that, [...]

We have a new great room floor!!
After a bit of unpleasantness on my part last week (Mamma had a meltdown; it wasn’t pretty), Husband enlisted Bowyer’s help and ripped up, then reinstalled the wood in the great room! It’s GORGEOUS!

The Universe has a way of putting things into perspective for us, if only we’re aware enough to see.

I was rooting around in the basement this afternoon. The dumpster has to go back sometime this week, so I’ve been wandering around trying to offload anything that needs to go in there sooner rather than later because, well, there may not BE a later - a truck might roll up the driveway to [...]

I have two gorgeous girls - only one of whom eats anything beyond chicken nuggets, PB&J, mac and cheese, and pizza. Oh, and M&Ms. And chocolate chips. And we wonder why, at seven years old, she can still wear size 4T clothes.

…in which the true extent of Beanie’s chocolate thievery is revealed.
So, remember a few weeks back when I posted an entry about my youngest daughter’s surreptitiously helping herself to a pre-breakfast snack of M&Ms? It seems that her career in early morning chocolate boosting knows few boundaries.

I still have to drag my small people out of bed in the morning. We’ve begun “practice” for the start of school - they’re going to bed early and we’re rousting them when we get up. No one likes it, but we’ve got to get in the habit, or school mornings are going [...]
