Sickies

As I tried to login to post yesterday, I discovered that my blog was down.  So I took that as a prompt to move on and let it go for the day.  Not sure what the problem was since everything seems to be just fine today but I’m thankful that it wasn’t anything major because [...]

He Did What?

I have recently realized (though I have no idea why it took me so long) that my Twinkies talk non stop.  They are just little chatterboxes. I could almost write a Dr. Seuss type book with their antics…something along the lines of “here, there and everywhere” would be involved because it doesn’t matter where we [...]

When it Rains

There are definitely times in life that it feels like it’s raining…then there’s the times that rain becomes a deluge. I’m really not a big believer in the whole “when it rains it pours” theory, but I have to admit that sometimes it feels that way. That is my life right now. Don’t worry, I’m [...]

Fall Composure

Well, fall is officially here.  I know I’ve been a little MIA lately, but with kids getting sick, me getting sick and the end of football season life has been a little nuts.  In the midst of it all I have had a moment or two where I feel like my sanity is a little…well…off. [...]

Another Look

I talked last week about the fact that this is the time of year for many of us to get a little gloomy.  Although the Washington weather continues to be incredibly (and unusually) sunny and beautiful, we are definitely seeing signs of winter and occasionally fall.   It is just so cold. The other day [...]

Oh the Moodiness

Fall is here, with it are cooler, shorter days that tend to be darker.  Here in Washington, the rains are actually not as bad as normal, we’ve had a lot of sunny fall days…I actually do not remember having so many gorgeous fall days. So this year, for me the fall gloomies are taking a [...]

Quiet

It’s quiet.  At 4:30 in the afternoon, that would normally make me nervous, but everything has aligned perfectly in a rare fall day that is not too cold and not raining, there’s really no practices to speak of  and it isn’t time to make dinner yet. My children have all gone outside to play.  It’s [...]

It’s Our 3rd Blogoversary

noahsarktwo

That’s right, I’ve been blogging for 3 years!  I started blogging on September 27th, 2006.  Today, I’m going to look back through these great years of blogging to point out lots of really great posts that you really should check out if you are a newer reader. So, prepare for a crash course through A [...]

Treasuring Each Day

If we lived in a perfect world, we wouldn’t forget to treasure each day we have with our spouse and family.  It would come naturally and they would never be taken for granted. But we don’t live in a perfect world, and all too often I find myself forgetting to treasure each day with my [...]

When Your Kid Starts Singing Commercials

Remember the Naptime Dilemma Post from “yesterday” (yeah, it was supposed to go up on Thursday but I goofed)?  Well, one of the distractions they use to keep themselves from falling asleep (in addition to general naughtiness and getting out of bed) is singing. I actually don’t mind the singing as long as they don’t [...]
