Where I’ve Been

May 30, 2013 – 11:01 pm

I haven’t blogged about Easter. One of my best friends is Greek, so I thought I could hold out until Greek Easter and, even though we aren’t Greek, somehow make that work via a nice transition about Easter, friendship and spring but Greek Easter was May 5 and it’s May 30 so, well, whatever. Some […]

How Is It Not Even Noon Yet?

May 23, 2013 – 11:19 am

This morning Andy woke up to find James staring at him, little chocolate fingerprints staining the sheets. Turns out we forgot to close the gate at the top of the stairs. Again. And instead of waking us up, James went downstairs, got into the candy basket and ate half a chocolate Easter bunny. Not only […]

Go. To. Sleep.

May 17, 2013 – 9:40 pm

Sophie (at 9:37pm, after asking for a glass of water, while both boys are screaming for me): “Why are you a little stompy right now?” I guess the hardwood floor in her room did a poor job of hiding tonight’s frustration. “There was never a child so lovely but his mother was glad to get […]

The Office

May 16, 2013 – 10:35 pm

The final episode of “The Office” is on right now. Andy and I used to watch it religiously, every Thursday night. We stopped three years ago (Owen and James turn 3 Sunday). The show started soon after Andy and I were married. I was working at Popular Woodworking magazine at the time. One of my […]

Links I Love

May 10, 2013 – 6:11 pm

• It was spring, and raining—hard, and I was driving back from Ohio University with all my college furniture and belongings stuffed in the back of my parents’ pickup truck, covered in a tarp. With the rain came wind and the ropes holding my tarp down came undone. I pulled into a grocery parking lot. […]

Some Days …

May 9, 2013 – 9:44 am

I accomplish big things. Like finishing up a several-week-long freelance project. Planting a garden. Vacuuming the entire house (which may not seem like a big accomplishment until you understand that I have to pick up everything in every room before vacuuming). And then other days, like today, I accomplish this: Finding Owen’s shoes, which have […]

The View From Up High

May 3, 2013 – 12:32 am

Sophie and I went for long overdue haircuts tonight. I love our haircut nights. It’s a night out, just the two of us. I get to see my friend Nicholena. Sophie gets to inform Nicholena how I have no idea how to do her hair (picture Sophie piling all her hair onto the back of […]
