Weekend update

We got lots done this weekend!  We officially got the Prius.  Niamh had a great time with her walker.  Ironically she pooped up her back and that seems to happen most often with the iPoop onsie.  I cleaned a bunch and organized so that there are parts of the house that might stay clean.  Niamh [...]

the ears, again with the ears

This week was not a totally happy one because two of the 5 were spent in semi-misery due to fever and an ear infection.  Those two days obviously coincided with the two days Lars would be on a business trip.  It could have been a lot worse really, she was clingy and crabby but slept [...]

Daycare snack

A fellow daycare mom got there early and got a sweet pic of the kids enjoying a snack.  Niamh is in love with snacks to the point where she really won’t eat a real meal anymore.  I don’t know why daycare won’t comply with my ever constant request to please feed her a bottle before [...]

So where were you today at 11am CST?

While I did not vote for Obama, I am very impressed by the way this inauguration has been hyped up. The public seems much more aware and involved in the process and that is a good sign for America. I had the good luck to be in the car driving from workplace site [...]

weekend update

Wow, alot has transpired in the last few days as well as a whole lot of nothing…
First, I suppose I need to admit to a person problem… When something new and different is announced or proposed I am compelled to play out all the possible scenarios in my head to sometimes bad extremes before [...]

weekend review

This weekend we finally got ourselves to an event.  It feels like forever since the last one and it was so nice to see everyone. Unfortunately Lars was sick with what we thought* was a bad burger and he got there and left within 10 min.  Good thing it was local.  So Niamh and I [...]

recycle?

Miss Zoot, (one of the people I call a blog friend because I’ve read her blog for 4 years but never met her) has just done an interesting trash experiment.  She kept all her trash from one day for a whole week and she has plans for more.  Being green is one of those things [...]

finishing vacation

I left off my vacation narrative after Mom and Dad’s party and our dinner party at Miss Math’s house.  Monday Tuesday and Wednesday were workdays, I got a lot done for the job, and, socialized with family and Konrad and Heather (who left on Tuesday morning).   Niamh busied herself by cruising around the kitchen and [...]

New Math

I had a very odd dream the night we got back to MN.  I can’t really articulate all of it but it was about math and negatives were negated by the presence of one positive sign.  Not like -5 + 5 = 0 but that if there were any positive numbers then all negative signs [...]

Home again

Yesterday was our last day in NY and we had one last visit with Miss Math and grandy and of course Grandma and Grandad.  Niamh had finally gotten used to everyone and the bustle of a full house and it was time to go.
 
The airport was no problem.  We brought an extra suitcase but in [...]

Post christmas

I left off with my drifting thoughts of family and Christmas…  Christmas itself was my last little hurdle of stress and once I was through it I felt even better then before.  I think I was worried about managing Niamh through everything.  She was (and still is really) completely off schedule and for the first [...]

Happy New Year – Christmas review

My dad (who reads this, and, who’s house I am currently in) told me that I need to post to tell everyone that I am still alive since my last post still had me annoyingly stricken with pneumonia.  So, I am alive and well and I think pneumonia free J  The last week and a [...]
