Stewart Newsletter: June 2011
http://stewartnewsletter.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
It's a work in progress. Wednesday, June 29, 2011. There was a time, many years ago, where I was kind of a total neat freak. You would not know this about me if you've seen my house, especially in the last two years. since moving to Davenport. since leaving South Bend. One of my biggest problems is really the overwhelming nature of *all that domestic stuff* (I'm not always polite enough to use the word "stuff" there). A week and a half ago we made an effort to all work on something domestic. Jordan w...

Stewart Newsletter: October 2012
http://stewartnewsletter.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html
It's a work in progress. Thursday, October 25, 2012. It's been quite the month! I had a quick turn around trip to South Bend, my mom came to town for a week, I had jury duty and numerous Scout/kid events. I had started cleaning and organizing my office before she arrived, partially because it is the room in which I spend the most time and partly because I needed to be sure I wasn't missing anything related to my PTA Treasurer or Dad's Club School Coordinator roles (both of which involve money). Here's wh...

Stewart Newsletter: Day Two
http://stewartnewsletter.blogspot.com/2011/04/day-two.html
It's a work in progress. Wednesday, April 06, 2011. I think it probably goes without saying that day two of any new habit is harder than day one. Day one you are energized and geared up to start. Day two you are thinking "WHY am I doing this again? So today I hit the snooze once, but then got up. The kids were both still asleep and it took a good 20 minutes to get them to get out of bed. We meditated for 6 minutes this morning and, surprisingly, they both pretty much stuck with it for the whole time.

Stewart Newsletter: Rikka's Lost Identity
http://stewartnewsletter.blogspot.com/2011/07/rikka-lost-identity.html
It's a work in progress. Sunday, July 03, 2011. Oh, also at this meeting I found out that we do, in fact, have a Dunkin' Donuts. So at 8:30 the next morning I went to get donuts for Aron, Jordan and Eric who were going to be helping me clean and pack all day. Bribery will get you EVERYWHERE! So while we are getting this all ready I realize that I don't have my ID in my purse. It's just not there. I'm on a plane the next morning and I cannot find my ID. This is not good. I think for a seco...I remembered ...

Stewart Newsletter: August 2010
http://stewartnewsletter.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
It's a work in progress. Saturday, August 21, 2010. Last weekend we spent a lot of the weekend cleaning up and organizing. The kids room especially and the two living rooms (upstairs and downstairs). For the most part those four areas have remained picked up. This Saturday when the parents emerged, the kids had made a little mess in each of the four rooms. We asked them to pick them all up before we do fun things. (What a concept! A: Take a taxi to the airport. Me: How are you going to get a taxi? Jordan...

Stewart Newsletter: December 2008
http://stewartnewsletter.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
It's a work in progress. Thursday, December 11, 2008. Here we are. December 11th. How did that happen? Well, let's see. What have we Stewart's been up to? That night, however, Aron threw up. It was fun. We spent the whole weekend kind of lazing about. Aron didn't really start feeling better until Sunday. By Monday I was down. He has recovered and has a normal temperature and is back at school. I'm hoping this will end our holiday illness. Eric and I are spending the night at a B&B on Friday. When I was i...

Stewart Newsletter: February 2009
http://stewartnewsletter.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
It's a work in progress. Thursday, February 26, 2009. This year, even with the economy in the tubes and many schools cancelling their searches Eric was lucky enough to get three on-campus interviews. They were January 20th, February 12th and February 18th. The job he REALLY wanted was on the 12th. Without going into the details we had some highs and some lows and some stress throughout the past 5 weeks. But all in all it's good. We will be so sad to leave the community we have been a part of for the ...

Stewart Newsletter: July 2011
http://stewartnewsletter.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
It's a work in progress. Wednesday, July 06, 2011. I'm sitting on the front porch of my parents house watching my mom and my children gradually turn it into a lovely English garden, suitable for attracting various birds. It got up over 90 today. My parent's teeny, tiny house does not have central air. I worked on my laptop for 8 hours straight, which got incredibly hot on my lap. The negative in this whole serene situation is that I'm absolutely DYING from allergies. Posted using BlogPress from my iPad.
