The Get Away (Spring Break ’08)

So after the craziest week of UTI’s and lots of puking, (oh, and did I mention the allergic reaction to the antiobiotics prescribed to me for my UTI?  My skin around my mouth turned red and started peeling.  It was fun!).  Anyway, after the craziness, we ended up leaving Sunday evening.  It felt so good [...]

Day 1 At West Point (USMA)

Okay, so on that trip to West Point.  We left early early Thursday morning (October 4th)for our 10+ hour drive… Okay, So maybe it wasn’t so early.  See, Scott went out of town on Tuesday and didn’t fly home until Wednesday night.  There was no way I was getting all the packing and loading up done on [...]

Making My Soul Ache

We got back from the Carolinas yesterday afternoon.  Honestly, I think it would have been easier if I hadn’t gone!  But in many ways I feel like we were supposed to go.  NEVER in my life have I felt like I feel about that place.  I just feel like we belong there. The moment we [...]

Hello Carolina

We’re heading back to the Carolinas today, if only for a few days.  It will be a nice vacation.  Scott told me he had to work there for a couple days and I said, “What?!  You can’t go back there without us!”  So we are loading up the car and heading out for the 8 [...]

They’re Gone

I drove my mom to the airport late this morning.  I hate it when she has to leave.  There was a time when I didn’t feel as close to her.  Maybe we both just needed to adjust to our new lives (She and I both got married the same month).  But now I feel that [...]

Do You Think She Knew Better?

My MIL was not up and running this a.m. She usually has coffee brewing and laundry going by 6 a.m. at the latest. But this morning she was in her room. She practically stayed in there all morning until Scott’s dad got out of bed and came out at 8:30. Do you think she is [...]

This Is Why I’ll Never Live In California

So we’ve been in CA for nearly a week now and the family drama only gets better. I’ve intentionally NOT blogged since my last post because I really don’t want to spend the entire week blogging about family drama. But today was SO blog worthy. We took the boys back to Scott’s aunt’s house yesterday [...]

Leaving On A Jet Plane

I’m flying out to California early tomorrow morning. Thank. God. I pray that the baby doesn’t scream non-stop while we are heading west. She’s teething so she’s already not feeling too great. 5 kids on an airplane. Who woulda thunk I’d do something so crazy? I should have many more opportunites to blog while on [...]

Gotta Get Away

We’re heading off to the beach today… just for the weekend. But we are getting away. Scott has been under a lot of stress lately. My mom left yesterday and I feel like I’m dealing with the Baby Blues all over again. So with the two of us the way we are, we just want [...]
