Everyone’s home and just like that, I’m back on the clock. It was a pretty fabulous couple of days, though. Between Monday at noon and Wednesday at 3pm I managed to -

Go to the library, and actually have enough time to look around find the book I’ve been wanting to read.
Go shopping and [...]

It gets better.

Joe just took the kids off on a three day camping trip.  Without me.
They all just got in the car and drove away.  And won’t be back until Wednesday (maybe Thursday!)  I stayed here.  Alone.  I’m alone in the house.  There are no children here. There is no “Are you gonna clean that up?” husband [...]

Happy Ending.

It’s been a long, drama-filled summer.  We’ve had temper tantrums and ER visits.  Snotty noses and Children’s Therapists. The kiddos mastered new skills, made new friends, and got new toys – but managed to stay in a bad “I miss my DADDY!” mood throughout.  Well, all that’s changed now.
Joe is home.  Ooh!  Did you hear [...]

:doh:

I seem to have accidentally dyed my hair black.  Well, ok.  So it’s not *entirely* black.  You know how some shades are called “blue black”?  Well, this is “purple black”.  I don’t know what the actual name of the color was, but “eggplant in a very dark room” would be a good one.
It’s so… summery.  [...]

T-minus seven hours

Well, I was up late, and the house is still not up to Joe standards.  My original plan was to distract him with a great meal and chocolate cake, but Jonas caught the bug and now I’m a hostage in my home.  He woke up approximately 72 times last night, has a runny nose and [...]

I am…

1) TOTALLY PSYCHED about Joe coming home tomorrow.  In about 22 hours, the hugging will commence.
.
2) TOTALLY FREAKING OUT that Joe is coming home tomorrow… and my house is as horrifically messy and unorganized as it is.  I’m trying and trying to clean it up, but it’s like I can’t even see the mess anymore.  [...]

The Grand Finale

Soooo…. I’ve posted all the Daddy pictures I have. A couple of weeks ago I had a genius idea of how to end the series. It would be really, really funny. And cute. And unexpected. A brand new, original idea that would perfectly end the “book”. It was [...]

Three words

I’m too tired to blog. Busy couple of days. More busy days ahead. Please accept this (late, I know) Daddy photo and my sincerest (really? that’s how you spell that?) apologies. Maybe tomorrow I’ll really post….

When My Daddy Comes Home…

I don’t know how the Twink’s head ended up normal-sized here.  [...]

I know I’ve been doing the When My Daddy Gets Home pics in sets of two, but this one is just too, too good. It demands to be posted alone, without any funny faces from Jonas distracting your eye from the sight of Joe in a tutu.
Yeah, you read that right.

Learning to walk

Babies don’t take their first steps, and then immediately wander across the house to grab a snack.  There’s a lot of little stages in between.  First is the couple of steps then fall down.  Then they get a little more sure of themselves, but the walking is still just for fun, they crawl when they [...]
