just south of sanity: February 2011
http://justsouthofsanity.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
Just south of sanity. Saturday, February 26, 2011. Love for my little guy. Sugar and Spice kids salon. For the record, not my cup of tea. At all. BUT, I thought Devan might get a kick out of it and they might be able to help tame his mini-fro. He wasn't as excited about the car chairs as I might have thought (is he too old already? The mom, we went to one of my favorites instead, Spin! I am," he said "just like Dad. Dad and I are really strong.". I'm strong too, you know." I claimed. The little Miss is n...

just south of sanity: For My Mom
http://justsouthofsanity.blogspot.com/2011/11/for-my-mom.html
Just south of sanity. Tuesday, November 29, 2011. We're all still alive. And I have photographic evidence. In the ugliest pajamas I've ever. Purchased. They were really cheap, okay? The Nelson genetic flaw- a missing lower right tooth just like older brother. Kaleidoscope was closed, so we improvised and hung out at the Crayola Store. But we took them to Fritz's, and Kaleidoscope was all but forgotten. We've even hung our Christmas lights, as Dad noted, while our pumpkins are still out on the porch.

Just south of sanity. Friday, December 31, 2010. How do I even begin to sum up the past 24 hours? I probably missed something, but it was all crazy. Friday, December 31, 2010. Wednesday, December 29, 2010. Problem solved, thanks Lady. GIVE ME A BREAK. Yes, I am still in massive pain, and I am massively grouchy to go along with it. This is not the way to end the year. Wednesday, December 29, 2010. Monday, December 27, 2010. There is nothing in the world that I want more for myself and my family than good ...

just south of sanity: Decisions
http://justsouthofsanity.blogspot.com/2011/11/decisions.html
Just south of sanity. Tuesday, November 22, 2011. I'm halfway through my antibiotics, and I still have a rock hard lump in my neck that might even be just the tiniest bit bigger. I'm realizing I have two options at this point:. A Allow the parotidectomy, potentially damaging my facial nerves, requiring a hospital stay and at least a week of recovery. And a four inch scar. Then there is the potential that the problem will reoccur due to the lingering infection in my jaw. Tuesday, November 22, 2011. I, too...

Just south of sanity. Sunday, October 30, 2011. Back in the Saddle. Thanks a lot, Google Reader. Now I know better than to write a fuming post at 2am because even when I come to my senses at 7 am, Google Reader will not come to it's senses 7 hours later. So sorry if you caught that. I'm feeling better now. Kind of. But sorry, really, I am. Sunday, October 30, 2011. Wednesday, October 26, 2011. A Clean House, brought to you by Prednisone and Halloween Candy. That's right, I've got some energy today! So I ...

just south of sanity: September 2011

Just south of sanity. Tuesday, September 27, 2011. The view from our balcony. It may be obnoxious, but you are going to get a giant recap full of pictures. I have a book to think of, after all. We had some time to kill before check-in so we stopped by the fish hatchery. Do all nearly 4 year olds pose so nicely for the camera? Those pants will never be the same. This is my favorite theme park, as a person who isn't a fan of most rides. I'm happy as can be watching the kids have fun and this was the pe...

http://justsouthofsanity.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Just south of sanity. Sunday, November 28, 2010. In life we are often given so many reminders that every day is a blessing. It may be cheesy and sentimental and cliche, but if you don't really. Understand deep in your soul what a gift life is, then you are missing out. It changes your perspective. Little things are just little things, and most big things are little things too. So LOVE those people in your life who matter, love them with all your heart and soul. Sunday, November 28, 2010. She loves to eat...

just south of sanity: April 2011
http://justsouthofsanity.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Just south of sanity. Monday, April 25, 2011. One step forward, two steps back. So I went in feeling good, ready for the good news. I received the praise I was expecting for all the progress I made and then I asked the question."So how many more weeks until I'm all. And not unkindly, just matter-of-factly: "Probably Never.". You'll never get back to how you felt before you had children. But if you mean how much longer I want you keep doing what you are doing? At least a year.". Monday, April 25, 2011.

just south of sanity: May 2011
http://justsouthofsanity.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
Just south of sanity. Tuesday, May 24, 2011. Clematis. Every yard needs one. Our Landscape is a work in progress. When we moved into our house 3 years ago, we inherited a lot of sad looking turf. And overgrown weeds. And mature trees- including a sweet gum tree that drops 2,000 balls a week (maybe more) a couple of sad looking green ash, and a half dead crab apple that still could despearetly use a trim. Ajuga reptans- Black Scallop. This particular variety is a terrific groundcover. Tuesday, May 24, 2011.

Just south of sanity. Sunday, July 31, 2011. I think that best describes how I have been feeling lately. Everything is more or less fine, but there is the feeling of unease that just won't go away. And it feels like such a huge part of who I am. I kept track one day at work and I changed my mind 5 TIMES about whether I should keep working like I am or make some changes. Talk about fickle. Or conflicted. Or just confused. Would chasing after two kiddos absolutely run me into the ground? He couldn't. I...
