Where Have I Been?

As I last wrote, I have been busy designing my website (with help—I’m not that good) for my new online tutoring company.
I have mulled over whether or not to put my website on here, as this is kind of my personal webpage.  I then thought about the 17,000 hits I have had in the past [...]

What I Have Been Up To

I’ve been furiously working on a new website and the startup of my new company.  I am starting my own Private Online Math Tutoring business.  If I am away in the next week or two, it is because of this.  Please bear with me!   I have been working on it about 6 hours [...]

Adding Some Special Interest Pages

If you haven’t noticed, I made some changes to my page links on my blog.  I have received so many search hits on people interested in Ear Infections/Surgery, Sinus Blockage Surgery, and Wal-Mart Stories (believe it or not?) that I have added pages that have all of the blog posts about these things in them.  [...]

One Down, One To Go

Thursday, after naptime, I had Ernie come with me to lay down for a couple minutes in my bed while he was “waking up.”  This has become sort of an everyday thing for us.  We just lay there for a couple minutes until he becomes antsy and says, “Mommy, I still hungry.”  Then we get [...]

Open Living Plans Not a Good Idea

As I am looking around my living/dining/kitchen area at the numerous toys still out…the laundry folded and in baskets in front of the fireplace…the junk all over my counters…I am making a decision:
Never again will I have a house that embraces the “open-living” concept!!
Here’s why:

I cannot escape the mess of my house unless I clean [...]

Article on Tort Reform and Government Healthcare that I thought I would pass on

I don’t usually get political here…or too serious, however I have been educating myself on the ramifications of government healthcare as it is related to my husband lately.  I found this article today in the New England Journal of Medicine that suggests that the two parties might be compromising some on this healthcare thing in [...]

Seeing What Others See in Your Kids

Do you ever feel like you are being too hard on your kids?  Are you nagging a little too much?  Establishing high standards for behavior in a household is a lot of work.  I am committed to setting those high standards for my children with regards to their behavior because I want them to be [...]

ButtMart

When I go to Walmart, I typically see all kinds of people.  Some are made up, some don’t care, some would care if they had the money and others…well, they just need a belt.
Say No to Crack! 
This is the second time I have been exposed to bare butt in this Walmart.  Old butt, young [...]

Workout Trenches—Smells from hell

While at the fitness center this morning, I decided to get on the treadmill and walk.  I had already warmed up and lifted weights and the Young and the Restless was about to come on…sooooo—off the the treadmill I went. 
I’m walking along…a little huffin’ and puffin’ when this lady gets onto the treadmill next [...]

Ketchup Kid

We made a discovery this past week.  Apparently Ernie likes ketchup just enough to try put new foods up to his mouth if things are dipped in it.  As of today, I am including ketchup on his plate for every meal.  Maybe he will venture out of his little culinary cocoon and experiment.  Last night [...]

Apparently I am a Little Charlie Brown

Tonight the boys and I were outside while they rode their bikes in the driveway.  I was sitting in my folding chair in the shade.  Ernie came up and was being silly, so I grabbed and tickled him.  Apparently I was also talking to him in a silly manner while this was going on.  Bert [...]

The Potty Wiper-Upper

Today we were shopping at a local grocery warehouse and Bert had to go to the restroom.  Our cart was full, I had Ernie with me too, and we had already made one trip to the bathroom in the hour we had been there.  I asked him if he could wait and he told me [...]

Hey You Out There…

I have realized there is one reason to keep a Blogger blog…
You can remain ignorant to the incoming traffic to your site.  You simply don’t have those statistics unless you go outside of Blogger to get a site meter that will give you that info.
So, to you WordPress bloggers…
Do you ever have someone repeatedly look [...]

From the Mouths of Doctor’s Babes.

http://www.mothersinmedicine.com/2008/07/guest-post-comment-from-daughter.html
 
This is a comment on a blog that I read about today.  As the wife of a husband who is often working and not available to our family all the time, this was very reassuring.  I will make a point to let my husband read it as well.
