Update

Didn’t do too much yesterday. Did some housework in the morning, and then settled in with my scanner…
I have a little weekly to-do list that I wrote up… I have too many projects going on, and I tend to focus on one of them, and ignore the rest. So I made myself this to-do list, [...]

A Day with Princess (updated)

It sure was nice that Alicia decided to stay home with me yesterday, instead of going to the farm with Joe and the other kids…
At first she couldn’t make up her mind… First she wanted to be with me, then she wanted to go… Back and forth she went… At the last minute she decided [...]

Camping? or Not?

Tomorrow is the annual get together at the farm… Joe’s Grandma (his mom’s mom) and two of his uncles (who are both bachelors) live on a farm in Stayton, and every June (on the first Saturday of the month) they invite every one over for a potluck get together… Naturally, Joe’s Dad has to take it a [...]

Our Wedding

For all my new readers that weren’t with me last fall, I’d like to explain what my Wednesday Walks are… Every once in a while I like to take a walk down memory lane. When I do, I post them on Wednesdays and call them my Wednesday Walks. … I’m trying to write down [...]

On Marriage 

ETA @ 12:23 am … Gosh, I hope I am not saying too much… I keep going back and forth, as to whether I should have made this a private post… It’s not like Joe and I were ever on the verge of divorce or anything, because THAT would never happen in a million years….
For [...]

A Wednesday Walk

I was out and about blog hopping, and I read a post on embarrassing moments… And seeing as it’s Wednesday, I decided to talk a Wednesday Walk, and talk about one of my most memorable embarrassing moments… Now, I won’t claim it as my most embarrassing moment, but it’s up there…
On one of [...]

Up and Running

My internet seems to be working fine now. It was almost completely out for around 24 hours… Weird. I’m just glad it’s back.
I think Alicia is getting another UTI. *sighs* She told me this evening that it hurts when she goes potty again. So we’ll have to call her doctor in the morning. I [...]

Josh, the Messenger Boy

Notes back and forth, read at our house today:
Joe: I’m hungry
Julie: Tough tiddly winks.
Joe: Sausage, eggs (over esee), toast, milk, bring to my bed.
Julie: What are you? A moron? You can’t even spell “easy” right!!!
Joe: How about skrambled then.
Julie: Heck… You can’t even spell SCRAMBLED!!
Joe: Know eggs then, just toast, sausage, milk.
Julie: You really are [...]

In Mourning

As you know, I’ve been thinking about Sweet Pea a lot lately… I would have been 38 weeks yesterday. They consider that full term you know.
As a result, I’ve been a bit gloomy. So today I decided to talk to Joe about it. I needed to talk to someone, and you should be able to [...]

Sorry

Sorry about yesterday’s rant… I’m feeling guilty about going on like I did… I was just so irritated, and needed to “get it out”… You know?
But thank you for all your support. I appreciate it. One person made me feel like I was being greedy, for not wanting one from the GoodWill… Do you think [...]

An Explanation

Sorry about yesterday’s criptic post. I was really upset with Joe, and sometimes I feel like all I do is complain about Joe, and I don’t want anyone thinking I’m some sort of… Well, you know… or something.
Anyway, it all started with me needing a new winter coat. I haven’t had a new winter [...]

I shouldn’t Post

I am *really* irritated right now, and don’t want to unload on unsuspecting people… So I’ll just leave it at that…

12 Years Ago Today…

12 years ago today… I walked down the aisle to “I Love the Way You Love Me” by John Michael Montgomery…
 12 years ago today… I was so nervous, I was shaking like a leaf…
 12 years ago today… Jeff (Joe’s brother and our best man) forgot the ring and someone had to go get it…
 12 years [...]

Never Tease a Woman with a Paint Brush in Her Hand

Today while Joe and I were painting in Josh’s room, I related the following conversation to Joe:
Jared: “I don’t want to watch The Fantastic Four anymore, because Jamie says that the invisible lady gets undressed to her underware, and I don’t want to see a naked lady.”
Mommy: “No, it doesn’t sound like a good movie [...]

Oh My!

While digging through boxes I happened to find the diaries I kept back in the early 90s. The night we moved in I started reading them at around 12:30 in the morning… When I was done it was 4:04 IN THE MORNING! Here I am, needing sleep for energy to unpack, etc… And I stay [...]

3 Days :: Last Friday

Quote of the Day:Jared: “Mommy, I can’t believe you’re the parent, all by yourself, of FIVE kids!”
Uhg. I am so tired, and so irritated. Joe didn’t get half of what I wanted him to do, done… He is the king of procrastination, and now I don’t feel like we’re ready to move tomorrow… I’m stressed [...]

It Still Hurts

Today Joe and I were talking “weight loss” when I happened to say, “My problem is that I eat out of boredom.”
To which Joe replied, “You must be really bored!”
He swears he was just kidding, but I have to say it hurt. A lot.
Then he got mad at me for being hurt, because he was [...]

Conversation of the Day… From Yesterday

Setting: Joe and I were sitting at Shari’s, for our anniversary dinner, waiting for our dinner and talking…
Julie: “… But we never know when you’re joking, or when you’re serious.”
Joe: “Just remember that 99.9% of the time I am joking.”
Julie: “But you’re such a good actor, we can’t tell the difference.”
Joe: “I always thought I [...]
