Against the Tide
Daddy and his evermore mini-me Colby, after today’s haircut So, my last official workout was on Friday. I’m not sick, the kids aren’t (that) sick. I’m not slammed with work. I’m just tired. Today was a day of recovery. I threw a party here last night, so the house is twinkling, at least twinkling enough […]
My Angel Baby
Life with a newborn is a very unpredictable thing. It’s hard to please a two-foot tall dictator who has major communication deficiencies, but I try. There have been a couple of nights in the past week where blogging or an organized activity of any kind was absolutely out of the question. Luckily, there were a […]
Sweet Rewards
A typical pre-bedtime scene at the Roberts house… Big kids sipping on berry banana smoothies and Daddy trying to get a smile out of the baby. Ah, a Smirnoff after the kids are in bed after a long day. This is my reward…. Oh, and the clean, shiny freshly-bathed kids, of course! I love this […]
(Not) On My Own
For I am a rich woman, and these are only half of my millions…. Mommy’s first foray into taking some time off didn’t go so well last night. The mommy guilt got me once I got home with four unhappy kids, and there were tears. Some of them were mine. Lessons? Well. Hmm. Let’s see… […]
Light a Candle
Image courtesy of freefoto.com. Bad things happen to good people. You don’t have to look very far these days to know this. This past weekend, in particular, was a reminder of that truth. The world watched as coverage of the earthquake, the tsunami and, now, the nuclear disasters in Japan, unfolded. Tucked in my warm […]
Everyday Magic
Last week was rough. Really rough. The four walls of my house were exerting such internal pressure that I nearly lost my mind. The weather was terrible. The kids were kids. It was maddening. And, somehow, we made it through. My Lily is so smart and active. She constantly needs an ear, a project, a […]
Find Some Peace Tonight
One of the few photos of me since I became a mother of four…. Today was one of those days. I think it actually started last night. I was surfing a Web site with salary information for public employees. These weren’t just any public employees. They were people I work with, know and love, in […]
Going Through It
It’s been a somewhat long weekend of keeping four kids fed, bathed and happy while running to several different social functions. I had fun in showing off our new beautiful boy, as well as some of our new photos, to family and friends. Some of the family in town included my youngest uncle and his […]
Leaving My Footprint
I’ll be slipping into bed soon with mixed feelings on the day. I can’t even believe I’m saying that given the success I had in getting things done, namely, my first real workout in a long time. I also juggled an unusually fussy baby with batting emails back and forth with my best friend and […]
