I’ve had a lot of both this past week. Poor Jess has been home sick with a fever all week, and I’ve been trapped alone in the house with both kids by myself – and there were definitely times when I didn’t handle it well. I’m a yeller – I come from a long line …

Still here taking care of sickos
Not that they’re all that sick, but still sick enough to be stuck at home and miserable about it. Jessie’s fever was normal this morning, and she’s hoping to be well enough to go to school tomorrow. Sam’s got a bit of an elevated fever this morning (100.5) and is in a wretched mood, poor …

The dreaded flu
So far, it really hasn’t been that bad. Not compared to some of the horror stories that I’ve heard. Jess came down with it on Sunday, and since we’re going on day 4 with a fever, I’ve got an appointment this afternoon to get her evaluated. Sam is just starting with the fever (actually, right …

Having a baby
I’ve been thinking a lot about my past birth experiences, and what I’d like for this next one. I’ll be fifteen weeks pregnant on Friday, and am flat out shocked at how FAST this pregnancy is whipping past me. Jessica was four days late. I had an ultrasound scheduled for the morning she was born …

Trick or Treating
I think Halloween, every year, should be held on the last Saturday of the month. Because that way you’ve got all afternoon to prepare, nobody has to get out of work early, you can start trick or treating when you want to, you don’t care what time they go to bed because nobody has to …

There’s nothing good to eat
At all. Anywhere. I can think of nothing appealing. I don’t have any cravings, exactly. I went thru a couple of weeks when all I ate was frozen mint milano cookies, then suddenly, those were repulsive and I couldn’t even think about them without wanting to vomit. Did the same thing with mandarin oranges, and …

I’m the worst mother in the world
Just ask Jess. She’ll tell you. They say parenting isn’t easy. And when they say that, it’s not just because of the beginning, the nights of endless nursing, the ear infections, the fevers, the crying, the terrible twos. It’s because sometimes you have to intentionally make your kids miserable because making them happy would teach …

Salem and Pumpkin Carving
Friday night – I went to Salem with the girls in my family. Not all of them, but there were 12 of us altogether and it was fabulous. Three of my aunts, my mother, my sister and two stepsister and two cousins. We had two side by side hotel rooms and just really loved every …

Wait – hold on, I actually feel… okay :-)
I feel as though a fog is officially lifting – I think that I’m entering the second trimester – time of glory and sunshine. I felt REALLY good yesterday – still sick when I didn’t eat, but actual whole hours when I felt like myself, I got a TON of stuff done around the house, …

Wow – morning sickness
I feel like I post about this a lot – but really, it’s most of my life these days… I feel almost newly pregnant today, unbelievably nauseated and sick to my stomach. Everything smells wretched and so strong and I dream of sleep. Fantasize about it, crawling into bed by myself, snuggling down into the …
