Good Grief! You Would Think We Were Having a Blizzard.

This week Chris and I worked the night shift on Tuesday. Upon leaving at 7:30am we were actually getting some snow. I drive from my hospital up north down to pick up Chris at his hospital downtown. This part of the trip takes approximately a half hour. (USUALLY) On this morning it took me an [...]

Bounce!

Monday Cade had an extra day off for his winter break that his siblings didn’t get so we decided to have one more big hoorah before he had to return to the classroom. (At the time we didn’t know the weather would be bad overnight and he ended up with a snow/ice day on Tuesday) [...]

My New Year’s Eve/PSF

Okay so this wasn’t your typical New Year’s Eve celebration. No drinking here. At least not by us. Unless you count the bubbly grape juice brought in by Lynn’s hubby for us before the bewitching hour. (Thanks Jason!) The babies though, they drank and drank all night long. Not cocktails, not beer, or wine or [...]

My Car is Jinxed/PSF

This is our “leased car”. We never in our lives before this car have ever leased a car. We’ve always owned our cars and decided to try a lease because the car dealer we went through has a deal that no matter how many miles you put on a vehicle they don’t count against you [...]

SURPRISE!!/PSF

Last night my Christopher surprised me with a secret birthday celebration. I had no idea we were doing anything except having a quiet dinner for 2 at my favorite restaurant:When we arrived to the restaurant the hostess sent us to our table. She didn’t take us to our seats just told us to go to [...]

When Mom Is Sick/PSF

So what do you think happens at our house when the mama is too sick to make Christmas cookies with the kiddos? The (step)Dad does it that’s what. Actually while we were shopping yesterday we passed by the Christmas cookie ingredient section of the store and Christopher mentioned that I still hadn’t made any Christmas [...]

stick-tights (desmodium cuspidatum)

Stick-tights (Desmodium cuspidatum) attach to socks like flat ticks. One of the joys of living in the woods are all the not so wonderful things that end up in our laundry. Ticks, burs, thorns and stick-tights are just a few. This photo was right after he came running to me asking me what all these [...]

City Dog’s Long Lost Love/Photostory Friday

When City Dog moved out with us to the country she basically came “as is”. She didn’t get to bring personal luggage or anything. No bed. No favorite bowls. No favorite toys. She even had to leave the love of her life behind. I’m referring to her boy toy, her companion, her favorite guy to [...]

Night of Twilight/PSF

Thursday night my group of friends from work and I met up at Chili’s for cocktails and dinner prior to the Twilight premier. All of us have been reading the books and were so excited to go to this midnight showing of the movie. Since we all work the night shift at the hospital it [...]
