I am making a deck for Chris for Valentine’s Day. It took me less than 15 minutes to come up with 52 reasons why I love him. It took me less than 5 minutes to write out an attribute list from A-Z of things I admire about him. :P He’s so wonderful…pretty much any good adjective describes the man. lol
I can’t really...
Lucky us!

I really want to do this for me and Chris. Our birth years, and the year we met. :)
Musical Beds
I realized today as I was logging into tumblr that I don’t really know what tumblr does…or all that it does. I reblog..and I blog. I don’t know really how to reply, comment, heart or link anything. Makes me feel kind of retarded. Like those people who have a facebook, but they still use their myspace. :P
Last week of the January trial of week by week with the kiddos. THANK GOD....
My Superhero Boyfriend
We don’t like talking about our relationship on facebook. Chris and I have a really good relationship so far. We’re both very committed to each other’s happiness. We appreciate honesty, even if it’s painful and takes a while to communicate. We’re both patient in that department. Though he more than me, because I have a tendancy to run from confrontation. We...
Shall We?
We are in our second week of “week on, week off” with the kiddos. It SUCKS.
It’s come to my attention that I have never functioned as an adult without children. They are my purpose. Without them…I’m so aimless. I have been trying to focus on other things this week instead of them. It doesn’t do me very much good.
A job. Every day out and about looking,...
New Year, New Crap to deal with...
Everyone is making resolutions. I like making mine when I feel like I need to change, rather than wait for the ‘new year’ to do so. :)
However, I was struck by two things in the month of December that I really want to change/improve.
1. Be a better housekeeper.
I SUCK AT HOUSEWORK. I wander around like a mental patient in my robe, trying to clean one thing, get distracted, wander...

This is it y'all
I’m in love.
Just thought you should know that I am pretty sure I found the one and last love of my whole life.
It seemed like it was never going to happen. But it has.
I am absolutely certain we have some hard things to face someday. But what we are building now is beautiful.
I can’t see how I was ever with anyone else. No one else. They were just..steps.
My heart was...
Knitting News
•I got all my Christmas knitting done. Except for my niece’s hat. But she’s not even 1 year old…like she will notice. All I have to worry about is her head getting too big for the pattern.
•Chickened out and did not give Chris a knitted item for a present. The curse scares the baby Jesus in the manger out of me. I bought him a wallet. He actually needed it and so it was a good...
Ambition
Apparently I have no ambition, drive or responsibility when my kids aren’t around. They’ve been with their dad all week(that’s like 7 days!). This isn’t the longest I’ve gone without them…but it is the longest I’ve gone without them and not accomplished a dang thing.
What to do.
Interviews are few and almost non existent. I’m a total loser in...
Deep Breath and Go!
•Chris met the kiddos yesterday. It went so well.
•He’s fabulous with them. They were well behaved. We’ll see how things really go once everyone settles in.
•I was so nervous. I mostly ignored Chris and focused on not losing Jolie in the mall. She’s still little enough to get lost.
•It was me who felt weird. It’s been a while since I had to focus on my kids AND my...
Little Things
•Only a pair of mitts and a panda hat to knit and I’ll be finished with my Christmas knitting.
•Kaitlyn said thank you for keeping her close to her dad after the divorce. She said a kid in her class is moving to Oklahoma because his dad and mom are divorcing. He will live there for 6 months then back here to Washington. She said, “I realize you and dad do a lot for us kids, and you...
Panic and no disco!
•I make myself crazy during the holidays. I want to turn into Martha Freaking Stewart and have this “magical” time that is only achieved when my house is cleaned to 100% and I have a million dollars to spend on presents. So um, yeah…CRAZY LADY!
•I have these moments and then I’m like, dude, enjoy yourself. So I throw my hands up and forget all my plans…later on I...
