Tales of Tanya: August 2013
http://talesoftanya.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html
Wednesday, August 14, 2013. If time passes between posts. It's not because I don't want to post, but I'm busy building cathedrals. It all began to make sense, the blank stares, the lack of response, the way one of the kids will walk into the room while I’m on the phone and ask to be taken to the store. Inside I’m thinking, ‘Can’t you see I’m on the phone? Can you fix this? Can you tie this? Can you open this? 8217; I’m a satellite guide to answer, ‘What number is the Disney Channel? No act of kindness yo...

Tales of Tanya: Family of 7
http://talesoftanya.blogspot.com/2014/06/family-of-7.html
Friday, June 27, 2014. Do you know how hard it is to get seating anywhere when you have 7 people in your family? And how about babysitters - they're hard to find! We'd just gotten into the mode of "eh, you're old enough to stay home alone if we want a last minute date night." No more! We have our first placement - 2 little girls. They've been with us for just over a month now and we are really loving having them (well, most of the time! To a spitting up, crying Little! For the first time ever, I'm actual...

Tales of Tanya: Whew.
http://talesoftanya.blogspot.com/2015/02/whew.html
Tuesday, February 17, 2015. I love kids. I'd have a ton if I could. I mean, like challenge the. Kind of ton. (Darn my pragmatist husband! So, adding a couple of littles to the mix last spring was like a dream come true. 9 months later. WHEW! I underestimated my ability to keep up with them all - a baby (we could stop there with 'nuff said), a 2 year old (again, need I go further? 3 in at least one sport/extracurricular activity at all times (but often two! I've loved every minute of it, okay, nearly.

Tales of Tanya: My Courageous Child
http://talesoftanya.blogspot.com/2014/03/my-courageous-child.html
Thursday, March 6, 2014. We've now passed the point of "Is my child being overly sensitive? I am only getting one side of the story.", and "Jr. High is a tough age." I've seen it with my own eyes. Other parents have witnessed it. My child continues to report it happening. I'm officially stepping across the line and saying my child is being bullied. I've had enough. I will NOT be that. Parent, crying and saying "I didn't realize it was that bad.". What does bullying look like? Is it a lack of concern?

Tales of Tanya: July 2013
http://talesoftanya.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html
Friday, July 12, 2013. The end of an adventure. Here's the final, week 8 comparison picture between our broiler birds and our newest laying hens. I'm slow cooking up the bones to make chicken stock. The only parts we didn't use were the heads and the feathers, so I'm very happy with that. And, since we know exactly what they ate and how they were raised, I'm going out on a limb to say mine are better than organic! Before we parted most of them up and froze them. My poor refrigerator was bursting! Ive bee...

Tales of Tanya: November 2013
http://talesoftanya.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html
Tuesday, November 5, 2013. I have spent so much time fighting with insurance lately. Boy, is it exhausting, frustrating, and. Don't get me wrong, we're definitely blessed to have insurance coverage. But when you pay your premiums and co-insurances without fail and then the insurance carrier finds a "loophole" and denies coverage, it's enough to drive you batty! It's a wisdom tooth same procedure, different tooth number. We've gone around and around. We've gone back and forth. I've made countless ...Now, ...
