I’ve got mad fever!

No, I am not talking scarlet fever or hay fever… It’s SPRING fever around here! Thankfully we’ve kicked our cold (I should say E and I kicked it, N might be coming down with it now). So things are more productive here especially since the weekend was warmer than usual, basically it was NOT jacket weather [...]

The day of red

18 months ago, thanks to my Fertility Awareness Method charting I knew I was pregnant, before I’d even missed my period. Now, over a year later I am back in the world of fertile women and am reminded of how bad it sucks to have “that time of the month” again… Oh and we have to [...]

Road trip adventures Everly enjoyed.

Whew! After a week on the road we needed a day to decompress after getting back to Evansville. Yesterday we sat around in our PJ’s, did many loads of laundry, scrubbed cat vomit from the carpets, cleaned cat boxes… You know all the chores and stuff that go undone while you are away. Everly was a [...]

The last time I showered in New Mexico…

What is it with shower situations in New Mexico? We are spending the night in Tucumcari, NM this time around. We got a cheap hotel to spend the night in and unfortunately it only has a shower. You see it’s a cheap hotel, tiny, clean and shower-less with a super loud heater… You get what you [...]

Forging ahead – Bringing our car home from Arizona

We are on the road in our newly fixed car! After flying here and hanging out with family and friends it’s now time to make the trip back home, in our car. We spent much time this morning debating weather or not it was a good idea to make the trek up north to I-40 [...]

Live Blogging: Cat Swallows Needle

Here are my tweets as they played out during the night and early hours of the morning. I didn’t realized it would reach so many people. At first I was just tweeting so my husband would know what was going on, then I kept tweeting to be sure I didn’t leave anyone in the dark. [...]

Dazed, anxiety ridden and plagued with ham disease.

It’s true. N and I got the holiday ham that keeps on giving. It seems we have food poisoning or something… It’s been an ongoing thing for over a week now. We just tossed several pounds of ham leftovers after we figured it was the culprit, also tossed the spinach salad just for good measure. [...]

Christmas 2009 as parents.

I never thought I would be such a gingerbread cookie fiend! Last week we made up a ton of cookies to get in the holiday spirit and also so N would have cookies to take in to work for everyone. We’d been trying different gingerbread cookie recipes each year, nothing was particularly impressive and I thought [...]

Someone is excited about the holiday!

She’s not even walking yet and she’s already being a stinker about opening gifts early. After her gift snagging earlier in the week we moved all the gift bags and stuff with ribbon away from her reach. We thought the paper and curly ribbon was attracting her attention. Looks like she’s smarter about this gift [...]

A twitter addiction? Confessions and talk of loss.

I have a confession. I am fairly certain twitter is killing my creativity! I’ve been having issues with blog content since Everly’s birth. Sure I am a busy mom who is working part time in addition to caring for a new baby. Yeah, computer time is limited these days… The thing is it’s not the time that [...]

Baby leg warmers crochet fun

I’ve been working on making E a pair of baby legwarmers since October. I just finished them today which is kind of a big deal. You see I tend to start and never finish my knit and crochet projects… Today will probably be the only day she’ll wear them since it took me two months to [...]

Life is what happens while you are busy making other plans…

All the trees are naked and it is very close to freezing at night now. Thanksgiving is just right around the corner and we aren’t really sure where the year has gone. Life is blowing by so fast and it just feels like we are standing here in a blur while it all swirls around us [...]

Today we are proud home owners!

Well, we’ve done it! Several years of planning and thousands of dollars later… We are now the proud owners of our own home! N was bummed that we had no “sold” sign to pose with out on the front lawn though… We may just have to stage it anyway, kind of like this: We went in [...]

Sigh… Rest and recuperation are in order.

This will be the first weekend in probably a month or so that we’ll have to relax and get caught up on things. Marching season has come and gone, my 9th marching season is now over. Sure winterguard plans and ideas are in the works but it wont be until January when the performance madness picks [...]

Dazed, anxiety ridden and plagued with ham disease.

Posted on Jan 04 in Featured, parenting, personal storiesby TalinaPrint

First thing I thought was, can E get sick via my breast milk if I have food poisoning? Google told me the answer is no, unless my poisoning is in my blood- then she can get it through breast milk. This feels like a super mild but lingering case of food poisoning.

In the next few days we’ll be expecting the “symptoms” to go away if they don’t we’ll do the uncommon and actually go see a doctor. I just totally spared you the gruesome details, trust me you should be very thankful!

E isn’t having any real issues, unlike us. She’s been a bit fussy and sleepless, that is all. So we aren’t too worried about this little bout of whatever it is we are going through. It sure is inconvenient though.

Motherhood has once again left me feeling in a daze. As we prepare for our visit home to retrieve our 2nd car anxiety mounts and the to-do list grows. Even though we are getting good chunks of sleep at night it still feels as if we are living one very long, never ending day.

You know the feeling right? The one where you stop for a moment and can hardly believe how much time has passed… I am not a fan of this feeling at all. 6 months ago time was crawling now it is passing at warp speed!

We’ve been talking about what we can’t wait to do once we get back to Arizona… It seems the consensus is a relaxing, slow paced, fancy dinner out.

Date night out is a must considering we’ll have both sets of grandparents and many friends for babysitting. Leaving Everly with someone is going to be hard though, for everyone involved. She still has issues being away from the milk makers. LOL.

Speaking of separation anxiety, she spent the day with Mr. Mom on Saturday and is getting much better at being away from me (for small periods of time).

Turns out she sucks down her peas and sweet potatoes when she knows the milk makers aren’t home. When I’ve been giving them to her she’s lost interest and makes her “eww that is gross” face. N reports she eats them like a champ when I am gone though. Funny how that works.

It’s been damn cold and dry here! I am pretty much counting down the days until we have our 2nd car back. You know the one with heat, airbags and power locks/ windows.

Not having heat in freezing temperatures is not fun, especially with a baby and a long commute. The year and a half long, chilly sacrifice made our home buying possible though. Life is about sacrifices and priorities right?

Anyway, I hope everyone had a safe and fun new year! We had a glass of wine, talked shop and went to bed. We are party animals

Ugh… O know those icky symptoms. I hope that all of you are feeling back to normal.

Glad to hear that E is liking her peas and sweet potatoes. That makes things easier when you aren’t around.

For New Year’s eve, I was in bed by 10:30. That’s right…. I am a rock star
