This pregnancy has been really tough on me. I can't say that I will miss being pregnant. In fact, I am very excited that this is my last month of ever being pregnant! I have been under an immense amount of stress over the past few weeks. Realizing that I only have a few more weeks to ensure that my students are ready for second grade has my blood pressure rising. I hate that I have to … [Read more...]
I had Spring Break this week (thank goodness) and wanted to switch our room with the kids' room. We live in a very small house with only two bedrooms and ours was the larger room. Since the kiddos need to share a room until we move, we wanted them to have the bigger space. I thought a week was plenty of time to do it... I guess I didn't account for my moody behavior and lack of … [Read more...]
Note to Readers: This conversation did take place on Friday. It is a true story and I am not recreating anything for the purpose of drama! Man: "My goodness, you must be due any day now!" Me: "Well, actually I have 2 months left." Man: "Really, how much weight have you gained? You look like you can go at any moment!" Me: (Starting to see where this conversation is headed … [Read more...]
Not that I am proud of it, but sometimes I have to take the long way home or hit traffic on purpose. My day is long. It starts at about 6 in the morning as I get ready for work and then wake TJ up and get him ready for preschool. We leave the house at 7, I drop him off and get into work at about 7:30. My students and I are together from 8 until they get on the bus at 2:30. I then have an … [Read more...]
We had a lot of fun playing at the pool the other day. TJ found some water squirts and had a blast playing with them. The pool, swimming, and time with great friends... this is what summer is supposed to be about! What fun things have you and your family done this summer? … [Read more...]
My son's current obsession is trains. He has a train set that he puts together almost everyday and will play with his trains for about an hour at a time. He loves his "choo choos." When I heard that Thomas the Train would be within driving distance of Indianapolis, I knew I had to take the boys. So, a couple of weekends ago I took TJ and his cousin to Connersville, IN to see Thomas. We … [Read more...]
I am not sure where TJ fell in love with bikes. One day he starting telling us that he wanted a TJ bike and he kept saying it every day since. We were looking at getting him a trike, when our neighbors gave us a little bike with training wheels perfect for TJ. He is a little too small to reach the pedals so he loves to push it around the yard and our driveway. Ever since we got it he has … [Read more...]
As many of you know, I was really sad when TJ's big boy bed came. I loved his nursery and I don't want him to grow up so fast (I think I need another baby in the house). When the bed came we realized that we would need to update the nursery and make more little boy and not baby boy. TJ chose robots as his theme, and I found a lot of cute things to go into the room. Here is an adorable robot … [Read more...]
To my dad, my husband, and my father in-law. You are all amazing dads and TJ and I are very fortunate to have you in our lives! WE LOVE YOU! … [Read more...]
TJ and Eli have a love/hate relationship. For the most part TJ loves to terrorize the dog, and he loves TJ's food. I am amazed at how much Eli will put up with. He is so sweet with his little brother that it melts my heart. Here is a sequence of events that occurred the other morning. "Hey there Eli! What are you doing sitting in mommy's chair? You look very comfortable." "I know, … [Read more...]
