We’ve had three straight “good” days, here at the ranch.The boy seems to be getting into a bit of a routine. He’s been going down for naps and bedtime without much fanfare. He is still waking early from some naps, but sometimes he’ll go back to sleep on the bed with me (a good nap […]
New Job
Today is officially my first day on the job. Up until today, it has been summer vacation. But, with teachers in Yadkin County reporting back at 9:00am this morning, I am officially a Stay At Home Mom. It’s weird to think about everyone getting all ready for school. Cleaning their rooms, writing lesson plans, attending […]

I jumped up and ran to the kitchen and realized that he wasn’t there and the thumping had come from the 15ish stairs (off the kitchen) that lead to the basement/garage. I ran to […]
The Kite Runner
Yesterday, I read The Kite Runner, by Khaled Hosseini.All of it.I couldn’t stop. You should read it. It’s riveting.
Sweet Yard Sale Take
Yesterday, we went to many yard sales. We made out like bandits. Well, except we paid for stuff. I don’t think bandits pay for things. Which makes me question using the phrase “made out like bandits”. Anyhow… The first stop was a neighborhood sale. There was a TON of baby stuff, but we exercised great […]
