Distraction

February 27, 2015 Crankygiraffe2 Comments

This week I have been feeling somewhat distracted.  I haven't been able to blog much because I just don't know what I want to say or how I want to say it.  I'm not sure what is causing this distraction - being home more, feeling tired, spending more time occupying my kids, playdates, I don't… Continue reading Distraction

7:00 - "Mommy, I'm awake!" (E.) 7:10 - "Mommy, I'm cleaning the shower" (In the shower, with his owl, a hand towel, and a spray bottle) Spray. Spray. Spray. Spray... outside of the shower... 7:20 - "Now I'm cleaning the carpet, Mommy." Okay.  I'm out of bed. 7:25 - Back in bed... with child... watching… Continue reading Happy Friday

I only had a sister growing up. We played with lots of barbies and dolls, makeup, nail polish, and other girly toys. Never did we play with Lego. Now with two boys, I have made an amazing discovery!!! A got a few Lego cars and trucks for his birthday over the summer and with all… Continue reading Lego – Where Have You Been?

Confessions of a Stressed Out Mommy

May 14, 2014June 3, 2014 Crankygiraffe11 Comments

Let me start by saying that I love my kids... at least I'm pretty sure I do.But, when I wake up in the morning to someone screaming because someone else hit them, I just wish that I could go back to the days of hitting the snooze button 3 times before rolling out of bed.… Continue reading Confessions of a Stressed Out Mommy

These are some snip-bits from the "Usborne First Encyclopedia Series: The Human Body." I thought encyclopaedias were supposed to answer questions... Not make more.  I feel like they have really taken a "cut-scene" approach to the whole "where does a baby come from?" question.  So maybe they kind of address the "how does a baby get… Continue reading Thanks, Encycolpedia.

Blogger Friends Got Ideas!

It’s Been a Long Time…

The Common Sense Problem

The airplane seat map shows that the emergency exit row seats are considered “less desirable.” It’s a little ironic since they come with extra leg room, even if they don’t recline (really, who needs to recline 2 inches when you have two extra feet of leg room?). I think the real reason they are less […]

Walking Tall

This month I’m traveling around the country to check out fellowship positions. It is exhausting, trying, lonely, and often confusing. Most of all, I miss my kids. I spend a lot of time trying to figure out how fellowship and moving to one of these places would fit into the current, ideal, little life of […]

Happiness, Please

Happiness is neither virtue nor pleasure nor this thing nor that, but simply growth.  We are happy when we are growing. ~John Butler Yeats, 1909 Is there a difference between pleasure and happiness? I had never really thought much about it until today.  My husband sent me an interview by Dr. Robert Lustig, who just […]
