Life as it is....: Pregnancy blahs
http://tempura73.blogspot.com/2012/07/pregnancy-blahs.html
Wednesday, July 11, 2012. I have a ton of things to do on my list to prepare for baby's arrival. We are turning my craft room into a makeshift nursery, and eventually convert the guest room into a toddler room. The Expedit shelves and desk from Ikea will make a great changing table. So all we need is a crib and a chest of drawers. But before all that can come into place, I have six year's worth of crafting goodness that needs to be put away some where. Where? Or "Wow, you are really showing! I am not eve...

Life as it is....: December 2013
http://tempura73.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html
Tuesday, December 17, 2013. You have brought us a year of joy, excitement and filled our hearts with love. It was the biggest anticipation waiting for your birth. And you decided to show up late. 12 days late. And mummy’s belly got bigger and bigger. The 24 hours leading to your birth was an excruciating wait and when the doctor finally pulled you out and we heard your loud cry, that was the best moment in our lives. You were perfect in every way. The zoo was your first roadtrip adventure with your cousi...

Life as it is....: A birthday cake for a geek
http://tempura73.blogspot.com/2012/08/a-birthday-cake-for-geek.html
Friday, August 17, 2012. A birthday cake for a geek. My geek husband wanted a Star Trek Voyager cake. But I wasn't brave enough to attempt it. Because you know. I do not bake fancy stuff. So I was just going to stick to something round or square. Simple enough right? But at the same time, I wanted it geeky. So a trip to Michaels' did the trick. They now have these sugar sheets and stenciled alphabets! How cool is that! So here's what I did ( a bit sloppy on the icing part, but oh well.) :.

Bits and Pieces: Good Riddance 2011
http://whitemtnmom.blogspot.com/2012/01/good-riddance-2011.html
Monday, January 02, 2012. After a year filled with such drama and upheaval, almost literally from start to finish, I am SO BEYOND GLAD to be still sane enough to appreciate the fresh start that comes with The New Year! I am emerging. FINALLY. If all this strife was prelude to something amazing, and it just has to be, then frankly it was all worth it. Still, good riddance 2011. The greatest love of all.

Life as it is....: June 2012
http://tempura73.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
Friday, June 15, 2012. 18 weeks 1 day. We had our second ultrasound today. It was a very detailed scan with measurements of everything taken. This is when we get to find out the sex of the baby too. We think it is a boy. But the doctor says he cannot confirm that yet as the umbilical cord was blocking the view. But he says he thinks he saw a scrotum so chances are that it is a boy. I told myself I will not be posting any ultrasound photos on Facebook. So on the blog it goes. I thought that was cute.

Bits and Pieces: She is SEVEN!
http://whitemtnmom.blogspot.com/2011/09/she-is-seven.html
Friday, September 16, 2011. On the way to school today:. E: Mom, I have hairy legs. Me: So, hairy legs keep you warm. Like Sasquatch. Me: Yeah. Just like Sasquatch. Sasquatch has long hair everywhere. Like long-sleeved hair. I just have little tiny hairs. Then don't worry about it. Long pause during which I think the subject is dropped). E: I wanna shave my legs. Me: Are you crazy? 5:25 PM, September 16, 2011. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Click here to visit the store. View my complete profile.

Mommy on the Verge: Today I Quit My Job
http://ecaran.blogspot.com/2012/04/today-i-quit-my-job.html
Friday, April 27, 2012. Today I Quit My Job. Now, when I go in to borrow a book, I am a stranger. Not RIGHT now, of course, but in a year or two as staff turns over and they finally hire to fill the vacant Library Assistant positions, I will walk into a building of strangers. Odd. So here I sit on the edge of something new, uncharted, and extremely exciting. Let's just see what happens here. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Mommy on the Verge. View my complete profile.

Mommy on the Verge: New Year's Resolutions and Other Hooey
http://ecaran.blogspot.com/2011/01/new-years-resolutions-and-other-hooey.html
Monday, January 17, 2011. New Year's Resolutions and Other Hooey. So we moved. Then he quit. Then he accepted Job 3 of 2010. Then Athena changed schools. The only thing that could have made the year more stressful is if we'd had a baby or gotten a divorce. Fortunately, we did neither. My head might have exploded. And the Year said, "Well, you COULD make that same diet resolution that everyone else makes. That's always good for a laugh.". Which is now, sadly, quite out of business in my area of the world.

Mommy on the Verge: June 2009
http://ecaran.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, June 16, 2009. Still, it's good to know that libraries are so valued where I live. There are many, many other places around the country that are seeing libraries closed and hours drastically reduced. The Seattle area is seeing all schools lose their professional librarians, leaving the school libraries to be run by assistants and other teachers. So so so so sad. Wednesday, June 10, 2009. And So It Begins. So naturally, I feel very strongly about teaching Athena how important it is to listen, be ...
