Here a meme, there a meme…

O.K. So I’ve been totally slacking off with my posting. To be truthful, my brain hurts. There’s a lot (and I mean A LOT) going on in our house over the next few months and my brain is on overload trying to get everything ready/done/finished up.
And Emma is starting to potty train. Which is at [...]

MDWLC – Week three

I’m down another .5 lb this week, but I have to say I don’t know how on Earth that happened. I keep giving myself permission to go crazy with my eating, but pretty soon that’s going to catch up with me so I’m going to have to kick myself in the butt sometime soon here.
We [...]

Smart Habit Saturdays – Sunday edition

I actually did pretty well this week with waiting until my to do list was done before I got on the computer, but I know that habit will suffer this week.
I am not going to choose a new habit this week because my mind is going to start switching to “vacation mode” which means [...]

To have and to hold

Tomorrow is our 6 year anniversary. It really is amazing to me that it’s been 6 years. I am so lucky to have married my best friend. The vows I made to him 6 years ago or more true today than they ever have been.

I, Thea, take you, Dave, to be my husband and [...]

And then Dave and I saw him out at the movies. With 3 girls. He didn’t see us. More precisely, he didn’t see us before Dave told me to [...]

Here we go again

Jacob fell at school today. It was bad enough that they had to call me to come in. It seems he tripped and fell onto the step of the playground equipment and his mouth took the brunt of the fall. His front tooth went into his bottom lip leaving a puncture wound and he has [...]

MDWLC – Week two

I did it! I ate out 7 times (3 times on Friday alone) since last Thursday and I still lost (and that includes a totally stress induced gorging of Fettucine and dessert last night). Granted, it was only a 1/2 pound, but that was my goal! It just goes to show that there are times [...]

Dadisms (or Should We Be Letting Him Read That??)

Dave got this book several years ago from his mom (I think) and it has become one of Jake’s favorite, um, bathroom reads. It’s one of those gift books that you would get from Hallmark or whatever and it features things a dad would say, but what he really means when he says them.
For example:
