“You look like an old woman, Mommy”! Is what Little T told me one morning this past week. He based his observation on the fact that I was wearing a hat pulled down over my face and was crouched over with bad posture while pulling up my coat. I was suffering from a head cold … Continue reading Living in the moment
Experiences
Teething at 39
This past Saturday Little T had an appointment for some major dental work involving 3 crowns and a spacer for a tooth that was pulled a few months ago. All this required work is a result of cavities. Never having one myself, it is something that I am having a hard time dealing with. When … Continue reading Teething at 39
The Lion and Little T sleep tonight
There’s nothing worse than hearing a strange noise in the middle of the night that jolts you from sleep. You quickly go through your mind anxiously trying to figure out made the noise, so you can dismiss it and go back to sleep assuring yourself that someone isn’t in the house wanting to rob or … Continue reading The Lion and Little T sleep tonight
Moving On
During the last four weeks of delightful visits from friends and parents, we also managed to find a new house to rent which we get January 1st. The decision to move was not completely ours to make; the company we work for has been asking us for many months to move closer to the head office. … Continue reading Moving On
Life is a Circus
Ever have one of those dreams where you show up for school and no one is in the schoolyard? Well, that dream was reality for Little T this week. Only, it’s not his fault since he is not responsible to get himself to school on time. The blame goes 100% my way. Before you go tsk … Continue reading Life is a Circus
Best gift of all
I have to admit, I don’t enjoy buying gifts for other people. Mainly because I’m not very good at it. To prove it, every t-shirt I bought my nephews for their birthdays a few years ago didn’t fit most of them. Maybe I was secretly hoping they would stop growing up on me! Hubby and … Continue reading Best gift of all
Lost and Found
This past Sunday, Little T pulled out this bee that he hadn’t played with in awhile and asked me to replace the batteries so it could work. Seeing this as a good excuse to stop playing Pirates, (which I am horrible at!), I quickly agreed. As I was searching for some batteries in a big … Continue reading Lost and Found
Life’s a journey, not a destination
Whenever someone comes to visit us, I’m always anxious about making sure we plan outings that our guests will enjoy doing. With our 14-yr old visitors, I found it especially challenging as what a 14-yr old would enjoy verses a 38-yr old can be somewhat different. Before their arrival, I tried to get them to … Continue reading Life’s a journey, not a destination
Beachtime
I don’t think there is anything better than the feeling of being on a beach, especially when it is 35 degrees, sunny, and you’re in a bathing suit (or not completely, if you’re on a beach in Europe as our 14-yr old male visitors excitedly discovered). As long as you have a beach blanket, towels, … Continue reading Beachtime
The right way and the French way
My travelling Hubby had to be away on business for another week stretch. But, since this time he was only travelling 3 hours away to France, he suggest that Little T and I join him. It took me 2 seconds to decide to tag along to la belle France. I have come to the realization … Continue reading The right way and the French way
