It’s been a fairly chaotic time, although not for any reason in particular. I used to be home more, with more space and time for blogging. This past month, I’ve been doing STUFF, dealing with a head cold, Jessie got a concussion, Sam started playing with legos. Julie started school. I mean, Jessie started school …

Working
I don’t like working. I mean, I don’t mind working. I like my job. I liked it a whole lot more when I was there 32 hours a week, when my hours are reduced to eight hours a week, it’s just enough to be irritating and not enough to feel like I’m actually doing anyone …

I am a runner
It because clear to me today that I must take up running. I am – ATHLETE. We took Lizzie for her first long walk today – and it turns out that she really likes running. Like, a lot. So, a runner I shall be. I dug out my old sports bra (leading Jessie to gesture …

The drama of it all
Julianna is a drama queen. Having raised one before, you’d think I’d be better at it. But the truth is that when you’re raising a drama queen, there’s no one solution that will always work. You can try indulging it, you can try fighting it. You can ignore it, but it rarely goes away on …

First Day of School!
Ah – summer is over. And I’m happy about it. This was an ODD summer. It started out strong, with the trip Hermit Island. But then Lucky died, and Sam stopped sleeping for a month. We got Lizzie, and our world revolved around potty training the dog. So it wasn’t a BAD summer. Not …

Still here
It’s been an odd summer in many ways. We started out strong, but then Lucky died. That quickly spun into this three week disaster of Sam not sleeping at all night and only sleeping during the day, which effectively killed any homeschooling/summer adventures we had planned. Then we got Elizabeth Mocha Latte Tallulah Boo Cohen, …

Mid to late summer update
It’s been a summer. A good summer, in a lot of ways. Sam is SO much better, and we’ve been able to do a lot more. Everything came screeching to a halt last Thursday when we had to put Lucky to sleep. We’ve regressed to where we were last summer. Part of is that it’s …

It’s been less than a week
Less than a week. We’re adjusting to the loss of Lucky. It’s hard. Jessie and Julie are grieving in easier ways, if that makes sense. They get sad, they talk about it, they move on. Sam’s stopped sleeping at night. His appetite is off. The not sleeping at night thing is the hardest to deal …

At the mid-way point
We’re not done with childrearing. Obviously. With a seven year old, we’ve got at least another eleven years before she ships out for college. But we’re at the point where our kids are becoming adults. With Lilli heading off to college this fall, Sarah going into her junior year and Jessie starting high school, our …

Lucky died
It was very sudden, and we’re all still in shock. He got sick on the way home from Hermit Island, and seemed to be getting better the next day. But by Thursday morning, he was non responsive, and by the time I got to the vet’s office, he had slipped into a coma. We’re all so …
