Just Me and My Spammers

I know I haven’t had a lot of scintillating things to say recently, with the exception of the news about Scott being offered a job and FINALLY knowing where we’re moving.  And did I mention that we’ve already found a house, too?  That has TWO bathrooms?  So that potty training tyrants might possibly be a [...]

Themes. Revolving themes. Again.

As I’m sure you’ve noticed I have been playing with the themes recently.
I loved my butterfly theme but unfortunately it wasn’t working with some of the widgets I want.  The autism awareness button and blognet news box were landing all over the place rather than neatly in the column they belonged in.
Then, I experimented with [...]

I’m an Evil Wife

I shouldn’t laugh about this but every time I think of it I find myself chuckling again.  Since today is my birthday I figure that I’m able to get away with things right now that I wouldn’t get away with otherwise. 
Last night I had helped Roegen take off his shirt and pants because it [...]

Update

Scott had an interview on Friday that seemed promising. He is also submitting several applications for an area of Wyoming that we’re very interested in. Job hunting is tedious and I really want to know what’s going to happen now (or last month although that’s obviously out of the question now), but there [...]

Removing the Morning Fog

Until I ingest caffeine each morning, coherence is almost impossible to find (and highly overrated). The kids have gotten used to the chorus of “huh?” “what?” “I don’t understand” that emerges from my mouth when I’m first out of bed.
This morning Roegen came running up to me yelling “Dinosaur ate my foot! Naughty [...]

Plan B

I like to plan ahead. It’s a genetic defect – my dad plans vacations so that he knows which hotels he will stop at each night. Scott says that Dad even plans for potty breaks on road trips – and that’s not far from the truth. So when I say that the [...]

Hope

As of today we have no clue where we’ll end up moving.  Things that seemed very positive a week or so ago now seem about as probable as my climbing Mt. Hood this week.
Scott has officially heard “no” about three positions.  There are others that no longer show that the position is open that we’ve [...]

Remind me again. . .

About how things happen for a reason. I know that this is true, but sometimes it’s hard to see the the positives from the heart of a situation.
Scott had a job interview today at 11.  Since we’re living in Oregon and applying for jobs in Wyoming, it was scheduled over the phone.  At 10:30 I [...]

Becoming seven

I awoke to the sounds of a little boy jumping through the house. Little boys make more noise than a herd of cats. “It my birthday today.” “It my birthday.” I can’t believe that it’s that time already. It feels like he just turned 6. Or 3. Or that yesterday [...]

Living Offline

Because of how far we lived from family and friends, during my pregnancies with Jude and Roegen I joined message boards. They were places for me to be able to discuss my symptoms without driving Scott insane. They were places where I was able to feel connected to the world outside of my [...]
