Festive Halloween Songs

Saturday, October 31st, 2009

Missy Mack has been learning all sorts of fall and Halloween songs at school. I don’t know if a switch is turned on at 4 where all of the sudden they sing quickly with rhythm and with lots of words. It is also so stinkin cute they needed to be recorded and, of course, you have to [...]

The Thursday Rant!

Shoes!
Here I go again, on this subject. No, I have not broken down and bought the ugly, yet comfortable shoes my feet so need.  Maybe this weekend I will be able to venture out and find some freedom for my toes.
On day this week, I wore a new pair of shoes that were my attempt [...]

Washing Away the Three

Wednesday, October 28th, 2009

We are now 2 weeks into being 4 years old and I am finally getting all the pictures downloaded and sorted, labeled, sent to family and considering finding a new way to organize pictures for printing and sharing so if anyone has a system or service they use and love, I would love to hear.
I [...]

Whirlwind

Monday, October 26th, 2009

This is how the weekend started:

I actually had to race from school just to snap this photo because I got caught by someone in a conversation that I couldn’t end. I am so grateful that I work in a school where I am encouraged to pop over to the field trip for a photo op. [...]

On the verge

Friday, October 23rd, 2009

I am pretty sure I am on the brink of a break down. That is right, a break down. How does one craft a weekend away? I am talking about, alone. Alone. By myself with no one. Not a friend. Not a husband. No one. I want to run. Far away. I love my family, [...]

Thursday Rant!

Thursday, October 22nd, 2009

Today I discovered this flaky looking piece of skin on eyelid, you know the incredibly thin piece of skin that protects your eye, the one my mother would lose her mind over if she saw me rub or touch it in anyway because it is SENSITIVE, so I did what most people would do, I [...]

Looooooooooooong Day!

Wednesday, October 21st, 2009

Wednesday seems to be the hardest day of the week for everyone in my family, which is why I guess it is the best night for drinking wine on the patio. I don’t think that will be happening this Wednesday since Mr. Mack is in a plane in the sky and my stomach is KILLING [...]

4 Birthday!

Tuesday, October 20th, 2009

In some ways it feels like just yesterday I was bringing home that tiny little baby ( I mean tiny- 4 pounds the day after we brought her home) and some days it feels like a life time. I love my sweet little angel, but I am sure all the little baby is gone. She [...]

It’s Thursday, but there’s no Ranting!

Thursday, October 15th, 2009

I am considering purchasing a pair of Dansko shoes. I am not sure if you know about these shoes or have ever seen them. They are for the most part pretty ugly. Maybe some of them are passing. They are pretty hippie and earthy. I hear they are like walking on heaven. I could use [...]

Adding to the Tradition

Wednesday, October 14th, 2009

It is Wednesday night so that means it is time for our weekly split a bottle of wine on the porch, my favorite night of the week, but something new is creeping into our tradition.
A Wednesday night melt down.
Last Wednesday when I picked up Missy Mack the teacher said she didn’t have a good day [...]
