Hello, everyone! Sorry, I haven't had time to do much blogging :P But I'm about to make up for it now, LOL! Vacation was ..... well, HOT!!! My hubby has this passion for the Iowa State Fair that I just don't have, but I've learned that in this relationship, it's best to suffer just a tad and reap the rewards that come later! Besides the blazing sun and scorching heat, there were some good points. We took Ryan to his first concert; Pat Benetar and REO Speedwagon (which was a total blast!), took… Continue

What a hectic week, and it's only Tuesday! After almost 8 years of working part time and/or staying home with Ryan, I forgot what it's like to work a 40+ hour work week! I have no idea how Ed's daughter worked a full-time job, a part-time job, was a full-time student and had a 7 year old! Chrysta, if you ever read this, my hat's off to you, girl! I'm having a H. E. double hocky sticks of a time just trying to find time to go to the grocery and do laundry,…

My husband doesn't understand why I stay up late. The puppies have had their last outing and are in their nighttime pen. The adults have had a bit of excitement to end their day when Dad let them outside their fenced yard to the big yard where a possum dared pay a visit. They loudly told him he had better move on out. Glad the elderly neighbors are hard of hearing because it was quite a ruckus they kicked up at 11:00 + pm. Now the entire household has gone off to dream. The house is quiet and I… Continue

Ok, this one is short and sweet :) I made a ham steak for Ed and I for breakfast, and Bosley got the bone. He has been gnawing on this thing for like 2 hours now, LOL! They sell like whole ham bones (like you would get in a spiral ham for Thanksgiving) at the pet store. I'm thinking we ought to get him one, he's having such a time with this one :P I mean, he's all sprawled out on the footstool, most of the time over Ed's leg, just gnawing away! Eyes closed and everything! I…

Okay, okay, so I guess my little blog here is in high demand (hiya, Mrs. H, you know who you are :). Well, this week has been pretty hectic; new job, getting Ryan ready to start school, and still all the house and mom stuff. I will say, my wonderful hubby has helped A TON this week. Even though Monday and Wednesday nights I started dinner before I went to work in the crock pot, he put the final touches on everything. And Tuesday night he cooked out on the grill. Tonight is…

My heart feels so, so warm- it hasn't been easy to feel happy these past months, so when I find myself smiling, now, it feels strange and wonderful. Joy, anticipation, and nervousness- competing for status in my mind, and I've still got six weeks before my family gets one member bigger :).



It became increasingly clear, over the past year, almost, that things were going downhill. My life changed so much, and it wasn't for the better. I lost my friends, one by one, finally having my… Continue

Hiya, everyone! I know it's been a few days, so as I don't have to go in to work until later, I thought I'd wright a bit :)

Bosley is doing wonderfully! Potty training seems to be getting easier. I don't know if it's because we know his habbits now, or what, but we seem to be having fewer and fewer accidents.

I think our little baby is getting more independant, also. Since we let him have run of the house (with the…
