Starry Night
Even though I’m not feeling that great, I’m still trying to accomplish a number of things over this Christmas break. One of them is finishing the baby’s room.I used paint pens to paint these cute stars on the angled part of the walls. I like it. Hopefully baby Isaac will, too. More importantly, I hope […]
the Christmas curse…
Every year, at Christmas, someone (or everyone) gets sick. One year, Jake had the flu pretty bad and gave it to me, just before we left to come home. Julie gets sick a lot.And this year, I’m fighting an unfun cold and cough.I wouldn’t normally complain, because I could douse it out at night with […]

Big Shotz Tavern
A few months ago, a Big Shotz Tavern popped up down the road from us.Since then, we’ve almost gone there a few times, but decided against it for various reasons. Finally, last night, we went. It wasn’t very impressive.We got a French Dip and a Buffalo Chicken Sandwich. Neither were all that impressive. The french […]

Tired from being pregnant and fat.Tired […]
Christmas Eve Day
It doesn’t feel very Christmas-y this year. It’s like 70 degrees outside. There’s no family around.Just me and Derek. And Lucy. And the unborn baby Isaac Newton.We’re getting ready for church. And then we’ll be just hanging around like any normal day. It’s a little sad. But, it will be very relaxing. And I’ll get […]
future star athlete
Ms. Doub (from school) got me (and mostly Isaac) this for Christmas. I think she knows that our child is probably destined for sports stardom. Or that he’ll be a wannabe. 🙂
Christmas Vacation!!
Today marks the first day of Christmas Vacation. (Winter break, to be politically correct). Whatever. I’m off of school until January 2nd and that’s pretty sweet. We finally did move on Wednesday. It was MADNESS. There were random kids roaming everywhere. We moved my entire trailer in about 20 minutes. Twenty-eight eager (to not do […]
two days
….until Christmas vacation, that is.It’s been tough this week. The kids aren’t very motivated. I’m not very motivated. My ankles are gigantic. My fingers in my right hand are usually numb. (That’s fun).Our whole school is supposed to be moving sometime. I’m not sure exactly when. Everyday, they tell us “tomorrow”. So, it’s hard to […]
