DH got his hair cut and trimmed his beard into a neat goatee. He said he still had long hair on the inside but he had to get a job. To get a job, he vowed he had to be a “citizen”. He was back to flying and was part of a pilot pool. Instead [...]

Not only did the mirror show what condition my backside was in, a man I’d just met wanted to know when I was due. That added insult to injury and I went in the house and had another good cry. I was still less than 150 lubs, but that much fat on a 5′3″ small-boned [...]

I got an e-mail yesterday alerting me that Frederic Patenaude had sent out his daily message urging the troops on with the Spring Cleanse. I appreciate his mentioning me and my blog. What bothered me was the exaggeration quoted here:
So here’s what I ate today (note the quantities are not
recommendations –most people will eat less):
Breakfast: [...]

I should make notes as my week goes by because I sit and rack my brain and inevitably end up forgetting some riveting bit of trivia that bugs me later. No one’s the wiser so I shall proceed.

Poor little DD was crying whenever she wasn’t sleeping. DH had bought a rocking chair and I spent my days in it, trying to sooth the little one. We were both exhausted and I finally did something I didn’t want to do—I dug into the bag of goodies the hospital had sent home with me [...]

Before we had ever gone to the hospital I told DH that we had to do something about our transportation. The van was on the fritz. The Flexi-Floater ran well but it was like riding in a dust storm. There was no way I was putting a newborn anything, let alone my own newborn, in [...]

That was one of the longest nights of my life. I could hear my tiny DD crying in the nursery and I couldn’t go get her. I rang for the nurse and asked for my baby. She was glad to comply because (I’m assuming) she was tired of listening to the pitiful sounds. As soon [...]

Plus I want to direct everyone to the page I posted showing how to make Coconut Ice Cream! You would never know it has only four ingredients and is so easy to make! I’m sure you could do it without an ice cream freezer. I’m thinking about trying it again and that time I’ll put [...]

Most of my days are what you’d call “routine” but not this week! I’ll be lucky if I can remember half of what happened and you’ll be lucky if I remember less than that. Funny how things come in waves. It seems one thing happens and precipitates an avalanche of others, even if they are [...]

We lived 33 miles from the hospital and rain was threatening. With my history of short labor and fast births, the doctor told us not to wait for the contractions to be close together. We were to start out at the first sign the baby was on the way. I hadn’t eaten any supper which [...]
