Oooh, tingly
Last summer I had a bout of unexplained arthritis in my elbow and hand. For a while I thought it was tendonitis. Then I saw the rheumatologist and she corrected my assumption. After a course of steroids big enough that I would have qualified for the East German Women’s Swim Team, my elbow and hand [...]
Feverish Prayers
My baby is in bed (early) with fever (again). I was never a fever worrier before. But after Abby had a febrile seizure on our first day of vacation, I find my hands flying to her forehead to check her temperature more and more often. We had a fabulous day today. We went to the [...]
Drive-By Blogging
I feel a bit like I’ve been drive-by blogging lately, spraying a post up as I go by, without giving tons of thought or effort. And it shows. (Except for the whole CPSI Blog Party thing – that totally rocked.) And I was doing so well back in March writing! Every! Day! Ack!!! I don’t [...]
Breaking on Through to the Other Side
It’s felt like years since we learned the date of Abby’s tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy. But in reality, it’s only been about 2 weeks. The whole procedure went better than we could have expected. The single hardest thing was watching my baby girl sit on my lap and get dazed, then sleepy, then just fall asleep [...]

I am truly, wonderfully, [...]

And to celebrate, we’re having a blogging party!! Check out these other bloggers who are participating in the party. Go ahead, click around. I’ll wait. (But if [...]
Crawling Out of My Cave Long Enough to Say…
Blerg. We have some serious sickness and pestilence and vexation at my house. I’m not kidding, I think we’re a frog away from an early Passover tableau of the ten plagues! Abby started with an awful cold over a week ago (like how adding one day makes it “over a week”??) and then started in [...]

Evil Pack of Gum
This morning, I went out to the hardware store with Jake to buy sandpaper and spackle so we could paint his dining room. I bought a pack of gum. It looked like this. I chewed it sporadically throughout the day. Out of a pack of 18 sticks of gum, I figure I chewed about 3 [...]
