Queen of Rambles

I think I’m going to give myself an anxiety attack over what colors to paint our new place. I’ve been playing with the color selector at Sherwin-Williams and I just don’t know what to do! None of their “scenes” look anything like my reality. My reality is much smaller with more eclectic [...]

I’m sure you are all dying to hear about our terrible day with a poopy preschooler and hours upon hours of signing papers. Blessedly, you don’t get to hear about that. Everything went great!
Erik was still sick this morning, so we cancelled the babysitter and took him with us. We had great [...]

I’ll never sleep tonight, no matter how many sleeping pills I take. We’re closing on the townhouse tomorrow! I’m excited, but a little worried. I’m not too worried about the monetary aspect of it, I’m more worried about the poop aspect of it. A friend volunteered to take Erik for the [...]

Gah! I am getting so tired of this site going down. I guess it is time to start looking for a new host since the dreamhost people give me instructions in Greek. Here’s my post from last night.

It snowed all morning long, leaving a skiff of snow on the roads. Preschool was [...]

I need to go to bed, but I’m not tired in the least. Funny, since I was yawning my way through the day, anticipating an early bed time. How am I going to get us up and ready for school by 9:30 tomorrow? Erik didn’t get out of bed until 10 this [...]

We’re back! We walked in the door at 10:30 pm and Erik is finally in bed an hour later. He’s not asleep, but he should be shortly. He is hyped up and happy to be home. Yesterday was miserable because he was d-o-n-e with his cousins and everyone else. Except [...]

I don’t know why this stupid site keeps going down. There are a couple of posts over at http://carrieb.livejournal.com from the past few days if you are interested. If you read on a feed reader you probably should subscribe there instead of here.

Lord Almighty, I need to get out of here. [...]

My son now has a pair of cowboy boots, cowboy rubber boots and cowboy shirts. He is very excited. I can admit they are pretty cute, but they sure do make a racket. At least I was able to put the ix-nay on the camo hat and camo pants. I still [...]

The last few days were just a precursor to today: HELL DAY.
After ten long years of seeking funding, the Children’s Museum has finally opened their doors. My grandma read about it and decided she wanted to treat the older grandkids to an afternoon of fun. She called the museum about 12 times to [...]

Awwwwwww. . . five minutes of peace. The 3 year olds are pretending to be babies in the other room, drunken dad is watching Price is Right,

An hour later.
That peace lasted a long time, didn’t it? The 3 year olds decided it would be fun to pour their milk on the table [...]
