This & That

  • My facebook status last night read: "went to check on Colin who was fussing in his crib. Then went to cover up Keira & noticed she was naked."
  • In my head, I'm already preparing for Hallowe'en. It's the best time of the year.  I had a credit for Amazon that I used towards this book:
The Book of Hallowe'en
                                                                  I can't wait to read it.

  • Our plan was to go to the zoo this weekend, with my sister, my niece and my parents, but due to this stomach bug that is making it's rounds, I'm not too sure.
  • Connor seems to be better at school, at least he was yesterday.  However, he told me he can't brush his teeth there because he doesn't like it.
  • In my head, I've convinced myself I am getting sick, but I think it's just the anxiety talking.
  • I treated myself to some new corduroys from Old Navy this weekend.  Most of my work pants are too big now.  I also splurged and used up the rest of LAST year's birthday cash and bought a pretty purple sweater:
  • Speaking of birthdays, Keira loves singing "Happy Daddy" (her version of the birthday song) to Keith.  Even though his birthday was over a week ago. I had to sneak and take down the decorations over the weekend and they had a fit when they realized they were gone. 
  • Colin's been in speech therapy for a few weeks now, and I've already noticed a big improvement in his vocabulary.  Favorite words are: mine, me, no, and mine.
  • Keira has learned a new phrase: DON'T TOUCH!  (said with lots of enthusiasm).  She will put a toy down, tell Colin "DON'T TOUCH, then walk away.  Colin, who will be the death of me, will walk over, very sneaky like, and pretend like he is going to touch it, just to hear her scream!
  • Connor and Keith built a bug box last week:
       Please excuse the mess. 
Apparently the garage is "Keith's area", and he doesn't care how messy it gets.
Or how long it takes for him to find something because there is no organization whatsoever in there.
It's like a big saw-dust covered black pit.

Book Review...and a Giveaway!!!

I was lucky enough to win an ARC of When the Rogue Returns  from Sabrina Jeffries herself! I couldn't wait to read it.  After reading the first book in The Duke's Men series, What the Duke Desires , I was excited to see that this next book was about Victor Cale. In  When the Rogue Returns , Victor Cale is headed to Scotland to investigate a woman, Sofie Franke.  He has his suspicions that this woman is actually Isabella, his wife who disappeared on him ten years before.  He has spent the last decade searching to bring her to justice after she stole the royal jewels and left him to behind to deal with the authorities.  Isabella Cale, now known as Sofie Franke, has built a new life for herself and her ten-year old daughter after her husband ran off with the royal jewels. Are you intrigued yet? Victor and Isa's first meeting was great! Both blame the other for the missing jewels, and both are greatly suspicious of the other's motives.  Despite ...

2018 Musings

I'm the kind of girl who, at 40 years of age, still calls herself a girl. I'm an organized person living in a cluttered house with child hoarders who keep tiny pieces of paper and use scotch tape liberally on empty toilet paper rolls, er I mean, swords.  I can't figure out why there are stickers on my couch because my twins are in 4th grade. I wish we had a house with a mudroom or a closet or a nook, just so my husband can stash all his running/biking/etc stuff there instead of on his kitchen chair. I just started wearing a plum colored lipstick and realize how much better I look even though according to the fashion magazines, my skin tone is warm and I should wear browns instead. I'm currently wondering how to respond to one of my child's teachers who reached out about the fact that he's acting up in class... and his response - "I want to have a social worker like _____ because he gets to take breaks and play with putty." My daughter took a Chi...

A Spooky Celebration

Far off in a field, in central Illinois, there lies a patch of pumpkins of the magical kind.    No one knows where they come from; they appear every October, yet no one ever plants a seed. Rare in nature is the person who finds this field.  It is said that only those with a touch of magick in their hearts can find this place.  As you walks delicately through the vines, you cannot help but feel a slight tremor upon nearing this particular pumpkin:  Stooping down to take a peek, you hear the faint humming of a song... What could that be? A party? A celebration? A wedding! The guests are arriving: The bouquet is prepared: Guests are seated: The "best men" take their places:  And now, the moment they've all been waiting for.... Let the celebration begin! But first, a wedding blessing: Deep peace of the running wave to you. Deep peace of the flowing air to you. Deep peace of the quiet earth to you. Deep peace of the ...
