  • Moving On

    Well today is Friday, the last Friday in February, so that’s nearly 2 full months in 2009 already gone by … Accomplishing a lot has been my goal forever, but rarely do I see that happen, or feel like it has. Right now I’m a bit bogged down, the weather is dreary today (rainy and…

  • Happy February ’09!

    The month of January flew by, and it’s now February. The Super Bowl is over. I’m not a football person, just can stand to watch some of it, and I’ll root for a team in the Super Bowl if someone is worthy of it, as this year the Cardinals were, and boy was it a…

  • To MI and Back

    We were going to be on a trip to MI to see hubbies Dad after Christmas, and because of our usual tradition of “seeing a new movie” in the theatre on Christmas, and not having found one that we wanted to see, we decided at the last second to leave that very day, Christmas Day,…

  • Sickies; pictures

    I wrote a post on my other site about being sick. I’ve been dealing with recovering from a long trip, then having the children get sick one by one, and now me too, and haven’t delt with the pictures on my camera from the trip as of yet. One of these days I’ll get my…

  • Our Trip

    I am up early and decided to check on my blogs, and was nearly shocked when I realized I never wrote another post here about the trip. We went to NYC Friday night, took some camera phone pictures, we were in the Times Square area. We went to Toys R Us and it was really…

  • Our Trip – Stop 3: Feeling Stuck

    We are still in the hotel in the Princeton, NJ area, and will be for a few more days. Time is running out for us to do the stuff I want to do though. Hubby won’t be back until after dark tonight, so there is no where we can go to see anything. We have…

  • Baby Q News and Pics

    Something we’ve learned about Baby Q of late, don’t give him anything to eat with sour cream on it. Just give him a blob of sour cream instead. :rolleyes: He’s getting more into our meals, table food, family food. He loves some things, but nothing like sour cream. He won’t eat anything of substance if…

  • LG Washer Fixed

    Our washer finally got fixed today. The repair man arrived later than we anticipated, but not too long after the expected end time … It was after Noon though, so when it finally was working, it was later into the day than I had wanted it to be (thinking I’d get some washing going that…

  • LG washer not working

    Our LG Front Loading Washer just seemed to up and die the other week. (It was dead as a door nail. Dead in the water. No lights, no sounds. Quiet.) I am very frustrated with it. We were able to get a repair person out and he didn’t know what was wrong precisely, one of…

  • Water Utilities

    City water utilities. Ugh. Know what ours has done lately? Quit sending out “Disconnect” notices as of May 1st. Is this a problem? Sure. Sometimes people forget, to pay the bill. Right? More money in the bank for them. A courteous service done away with. Maybe there is a large problem with other people continually…

  • New Major Kitchen Appliances

    We got a new stove and refrigerator about a week ago, well, over a week ago, not this past Friday, the previous Friday. We had icky ones that we got with our house when it was new at the end of 1997. GE bottom line sort of stove, and a decent Kitchen Aide refrigerator, which…

  • Baby Q – 11 Months Old

    Baby Q has been 11 Months old for three days already … :veryshocked: He’s growing up so fast now. He’s not an expert walker yet, but is walking most all the time he’s on the floor in the house, moving around. He rarely resorts to a crawl since the day he actually starting really walking,…

  • LG FL Washer – 2277 – OE error

    We bought an LG 2277 washer sometime in the past year. A couple of times it has had the OE error, which means the drain needs unplugged, or the drain filter needs cleaned out. We haven’t thought about it in any sort of regular fashion, to do something about it beforehand, but will be doing…

  • Baby Q – 9 Months Old

    Well, I was writing a post the other day, on the 23rd, in fact, since it was dear Baby Q’s 9-month b-day … but I wasn’t able to finish it at the time, but didn’t “save” it, having to shut my laptop instantly (Baby Q sees me with the laptop open and makes a beeline…

  • Hennies 2008

    Our hens began laying in mid-late February, and are now fully laying, I think. We were away most of last week, so I’ll spend the next few days starting to track when they lay, and get a pattern down on paper to understand it all. One bad thing happened, on Saturday morning I looked out…

  • Diaper Covers

    We got our new diaper covers on Saturday. They are nice. More later. When I can actually type and maybe post a picture of Baby @ in one. He’s fussing and I just can’t post more right now.

  • More Tiny Tush Diapers

    We ordered more of the blue diapers that I posted about in December. They arrived on Tuesday, finally, with that “finally” meaning it took a LONG time for them to arrive. Sent “Fed Ex Home” … we ordered them ‘last year’ and they didn’t arrive until the 8th of this NEW year. A funny way…

  • Themes

    I’m playing with a new Theme … one that has Skins and can be custom skinned by oneself. WordPreciousss is the Theme … I’m not linking to it because I do not know if I will keep it … yet. I might keep it, might not. Might go looking around for other “skinnable” WP Themes.…

  • Under the weather

    Last week Baby Q wasn’t feeling well, and neither was I, as well as two of the older children coughing a lot. The coughing seems to have come from a previous “cold” that was in the family … residual leftover maybe from when we all had a cold a few weeks ago (from now) ……

  • Thanksgiving Prep

    I was writing this post earlier today, this morning, with intent to talk about my Thanksgiving Prep that I was planning on beginning today. Of course, I didn’t get the post finished, and as things went on, I got NOTHING done for Thanksgiving Prep. 🙁 I did, however, get Lasagna made, and in the oven…
