Life’s Little Moments

I forget how fast the time goes.  I have been working really hard at documenting life’s little moments.  Trying to capture as many of my kids toddlerhood as possible before school and all of those other things stand in the way of capturing all of these moments. 
Here are a couple of my favorites…

 

What I Should Be Doing

My statistics homework.
Laundry
Dishes
Cleaning
Having coffee
Making/Eating breakfast
Playing with Noah

What am I doing?  Laying on the couch trying to keep my eyes open.  I am not feeling well and of course, I have a huge stats test tonight and a big assignment due tonight.  Bill is out of town and the kids have me on high energy alert.  [...]

One Week Down

approximately 936 until Peepers joins Minnow away at college.  Okay.  I’m not really counting down as that would be depressing. 
Well, we have been home for a week now and I am just as exhausted as I was the day I arrived home.  It is a different tired, but the depth of the tiredness is the [...]

Time Won’t Stand Still

Yes, Yes. That Is My Child.

Unexpected Trip

I’m going to Denver tomorrow with my baby brother who is running his first ultra-marathon (31 miles).  He had been planning to go by himself and I felt really bad.  I wanted to be able to go and support him but am already going out of town next weekend with my bff and we don’t [...]

A Boy’s First Worm and a 2nd Birthday Party

Minnow touched his first earthworm today.  How exciting for a little boy.  He did try to stomp on it but I stopped him, teaching him that we must be nice to all creatures–note to self “do not stomp spiders in front of young child”.  He then picked up the worm and put him back in [...]

Peek-A-Boo

I know I have been sporadic in my posting at best.  Well, I am here now.  So, let’s chat.  Things here at Che Dalai Mama have been busy and crazy.  This past weekend, we had a dinner party on Friday–it went off without a hitch.  It was small only 5 of us, but when [...]
