One Expensive Pregnancy Test

November 29, 2011

If, by chance, you are a paranoid freak such as myself, and think three days of semi-nausea is a surefire sign of an unplanned pregnancy, know that all you have to do is develop kidney stone symptoms and get yourself to the ER where a pregnancy test will be performed before you get a CT [...]

Grandma Brown

November 11, 2011

Grandma Brown passed away yesterday morning.

At the age of 93, her passing wasn’t unexpected, but it was still sad, nonetheless.  I feel very blessed that I was in California just last week, and was able to visit with Grandma and introduce her to my baby.
I was fortunate enough to have Grandma literally in my backyard [...]

Trick-or-treating without the treats

November 9, 2011

Like most pre-school aged children, my daughter has an incredibly independent mind.  Sometimes her strong-as-iron opinions and desires aggravate me — like when she insists on drying her hands for five minutes when I need to get to an appointment.  Or when she throws a fit because the song on the radio isn’t being sung [...]

I Need Space — But it Can Wait

November 8, 2011

I turn around from grabbing an ingredient out of the refrigerator and she is there, underfoot.
I stand up after cleaning out the counter under the bathroom sink, and my stiff-from-crouching knees nearly trip over her little body.
I swoosh around the kitchen in a flurry, trying to put groceries away while she keeps one hand on [...]

Travails During my Travels

October 30, 2011

I think most people agree that most people in the world are generally nice.  Most people will be kind in most situations.
But if you were the woman (who was most likely nice and kind) waiting in line for the bathroom at Burger King in Sparks, Nevada ten days ago and happened to encounter ME, well [...]

Welcome to My Sunday Afternoon

October 9, 2011

If you don’t have kids, but think you may one day want them, DON’T read this post!
After staying an extra hour for choir practice, we rushed home from church this afternoon, and I hurried to feed my starving baby while Ryan got busy feeding Lydia and making five loaves of wheat bread.  (Have I told [...]

One, Two, Three, Grunt

October 7, 2011

After the side cramp that kept me from running hung around for two days even when I wasn’t running, I decided I better get rid of it so I could stop feeling like I was being knifed in my side with every step.  So I consulted the trusty internet to diagnose my bothersome ailment.
First, I discovered [...]

Good-bye, Piano Lessons

October 6, 2011

I wish all my piano students were rotten, stinky little kids with no respect for the world or me.  I wish they never practiced, never progressed and never tried.
As it is, I have the best students ever.  My students have enthusiasm for piano and music.  They love to perform in recitals.  They practice (for the [...]

My “Couch to 5K” is More “Couch” than “5K”

September 28, 2011

I’ve been doing my jogging regimen for a week now, and much to my dismay, I am not sporting well toned calves, fancy shmancy running shoes OR a cute, bobbing pony tail.
I mean, come on!
This week, I’m repeating the first week’s plan in the Couch to 5K program, if you can believe it (and you [...]

A Pictureful Post

September 26, 2011

The second leg of our exhausting weekend trip was spent with my husband’s brother and family in St. George.  Marty and Mindy recently swapped the beautiful, but brief summers of Northern Utah for year round, never ending summer in Southern Utah.  We miss them up here but we were excited to hang out with them [...]
