I have so many little matters to tell you of, that I cannot wait any longer before I begin to put them down.

The Tuesday before last, I was standing on the side of the girls’ bunkbed, having a heart-to-heart with a sullen child, when I stepped off onto a toy (which I had told the kids three times to pick up that morning), fell into Janie’s dresser, and collapsed on the floor in agony, my left foot […]
Our card reader is not reading again, so pictures are going to have to keep waiting. I.hate.this.computer. And I’m sick of waiting for a working dishwasher. Ours has been spewing water all over the kitchen floor for weeks, but by the time I called the repairman and got him out, I was super sick of […]
The van died at the top of a mountain today (fortunately though the power steering was gone, I was able to force us off onto an exit and roll to a stop at the end of the ramp). Yes, I’ve been in a rollover car accident while pregnant with two kids in the backseat that […]

Sometimes you’re sick and able to press on. Sometimes, like yesterday, you have to spend the day in bed (or more specifically, on the couch).

Derek and I spent this past weekend in Hawaii, as he was asked to give a talk at the University of Hawaii Law School Federalist Society. My amazing mom came out to watch the kids (and missed my dad’s recital for the first time in 30 years), so we were able to get away without […]

Determined not to be left out of the carseat cover washing club, Tommy decided that as it’s too flat to get carsick, he might as well have an accident in his carseat. At least it’s easier to stop at the side of the road in Kansas cornfields. I’m putting it in writing–we will never do […]
This morning Elizabeth got carsick in the middle of nowhere in Utah, up in the mountains where we couldn’t stop right away. We had to clean her up as best we could with wipes and water, then we found a Walmart half an hour down the interstate, where we restocked on wipes, air freshener, and […]
