after all that griping and complaining, yesterday and today were miraculously good days…
ellen helped me vacuum up the ants that have been plaguing us. she also chased isaiah around with it, pretending to vacuum him up. he loved it.
isaiah played some blocks (he loves the sounds these make when you dump them out of the [...]

i’m afraid i haven’t really been a stellar parent lately. i’ve been getting rather upset with ellen. she can be somewhat infuriating when she wants to be. if you have a sense of humor and roll with things she snaps out of it really quick – but if you let it drive you nuts she’ll [...]

getting an iv – something i’d like to avoid. pretty high on my list of not enjoyable.
getting blood drawn – makes me feel squeamish and faint some times.

the jewelry i’ve got in there right now is not [...]

i really do. a lot of the times i can convince myself it’s really not so bad, just sit back and don’t try to be responsible for everyone else. just do your part and do it well. be nice and friendly and forgiving and just don’t worry about it. but really deep down i think [...]
