Someone’s growing up just a bit too fast now.
(She can only sit up long enough for me to snap a picture, then she starts to leeeeeeeeeeean. But, she’ll be a sitting pro soon enough).

 I am a Catholic SAHM to two kids and three babies in Heaven. I like to write about Catholicism, homemaking, being a Mom, living with three mental disorders, and the like. (more?)

For the past (almost) three days, our water has been brown and gross. We’ve been frustrated with the Water Department, but it appears they finally fixed the problem. Just as we ran out of dishes … bath towels (mainly for Elise’s tummy time sans clothing) … big jugs of water and resorted to little [...] Today was our first bit of “I think Elise needs to go to the doctor” that each parent gets to experience. And as one would expect for first time parents, what she was experiencing is normal, normal, normalllllllllllll for five-month-olds. Deo gratias! In addition to Elise being as healthy as a horse, we [...] If I just ask myself, “does this task accomplish anything to further me in my vocation as a wife and mother, a Benedictine Oblate, or a Catholic”, it’s funny how many things I do each day that are frivolous and are simply time-wasters. Unrelated, I’m up to my ears in sewing projects. Suddenly, everyone’s [...] Mama has had a major sleep regression as of late. And because of me, so has Elise. The culmination resulted in yesterday’s Nap Strike, from 11am to 10pm, Elise took 40 minutes of nap. She definitely let me know how cranky and overtired she was, and was only content being in my arms and [...] On a whim, I started rereading Time Management for Catholics by Dave Durand. I bought it while still in school, but only read the book. I didn’t have a chance to work through it, like making a mission statement and seeing where my time goes and the like. I know I have a good [...] Recently I experienced the privilege of giving a gift that was criticized by the recipient. It was clear that my homemade gift was NOT what the recipient wanted, despite the time and energy it took for me to make it. It hurt me a lot and made me rethink if I wanted to continue [...] FOR TODAY Monday, January 19th, 2009… Outside my window… The sun is setting. It was a beautiful day – barely needed a coat. We’re hoping it heats up a little more and melts the sheet of ice outside the house (the same one the UPS Man got stuck on). I am thinking… [...] FOR TODAY Monday, January 12th, 2009… Outside my window… There is a neighborhood bonanza around the UPS man and his truck. Apparently he has it perfectly stuck on some ice. I could hear him spinning his tires to no avail. Our neighbor appeared on the scene, then called the house (although, all the [...] almost a little too quiet. Harrumph. Things aren’t busy, just tiring over here. Greg and I finally have reached the point of Doing Something about Elise’s sleeping. In the last week, the worst has been her falling asleep at 1am and waking up every.hour.after. until about 7am. And then napping for 45 minutes [...] |
