Spring!

Today it is nearly 70 degrees outside.  Awesome!  I LOVE warm weather.  I think the shivering season is almost over.  The girls are out celebrating right now by climbing our tree.  This is Abby's first time of climbing it by herself.  She's quite pleased with herself. 
Ana is feeling better now.  That makes me happy.  I'm hoping Abby doesn't get it.  David only had his fever for a few hours, so I think he got rid of his germs too. 

I finally remembered to take Abby to the preschool story hour at the library this morning.  I mean to do it every week but I completely forget about it until once it's over.  But not today!  Abby was very happy to go.  Ana quickly did all of her school work this morning so that she could go too and listen in on the stories and do the crafts too.  David and I sat at a table at the library doing school work while the girls took part of story hour.  It was kind of fun for a change.  Maybe I'll remember to do it next week too!  A change of scenery is always nice to help break up the monotony of a school day.  I think we all appreciate it.

Tomorrow is Friday - which means coffee shop day!  I get to spend the early morning there with friends, followed by a few hours there with Aaron while the kids are at Friday classes.  Love it!  I'll remember to switch to decaf after my first cup.  I don't want to get too jittery. 

Here are some questions for you to answer so I can learn more about YOU:

Does caffeine bother you?  Do you have to limit how much you drink? - I work really hard at not getting dependent on caffeine.  I switch to drinking herbal tea if I start feeling too addicted to it.  I also can't drink it past 5:00 in the evening or I will be up for a long time.

What do you do when you need a change of scenery?  I'm always looking for good ideas.

    No caffeine for me...tried drinking coffee when I was young but it just gave me the jitters. Was about 22 when I realized black tea was doing the same thing! Never have like pop, so not much temptation there - the once a year caffeine-free root beer .... So I drink herbal tea, hot cocoa if it is not too late in the evening, Oh have you ever had Tazo Brambleberry Tea? It is my fave for ice tea. I discovered it while on a trip; now I look for it if I'm out and about with no water bottle.

    I need a change of scenery. I'd like to go on a day trip out of the city into the mountains somewhere.... MomK

A Tribute To My Mom

I am undertaking a three week challenge as a way of support for my dear mother.  I would include a picture here of her if I could, but she would not appreciate that (though I do have permission to write this post) Years ago, as a wee little lass, she had the misfortune of contracting polio.  While she was able to regain normal function and led a very normal life for most of her years, polio has reared its ugly head once more in her life, this time in the form of post-polio syndrome.  Click here for a link to just what post-polio is.  For those of you who prefer a one sentence summary of PPS, it's mainly a continual weakening of the muscles that were affected when polio was first contracted - it can range from mild to quite debilitating.  My mom has been struggling with full blown PPS for a couple of years now.  There is really no cure at all, few medicines to help, just learning to listen to your body in what it now has decided that it can no longer do and trying to keep your activ

Abby's New Look

Image
We've had a busy last week or so.  Here's some big news in Abby's life.  She lost her two front teeth. They came out about four days apart.  She truly lost the second tooth and wasn't able to put it under her pillow for the tooth fairy.  The tooth fairy apparently isn't as vigiliant about leaving money when there is no actual tooth to collect.  But after a few days, our tooth fairy remembered and finally slipped some money under Abby's pillow along with an extra quarter for having to wait so long for her to decide to show up.  At the same time, David had a tooth under his pillow for about three weeks waiting for the tooth fairy.  The tooth fairy finally had to visit during the day when he wasn't in his room, when she finally remembered to pick up the tooth.  It's hard on the tooth fairy to show up when David stays up later than the tooth fairy does these days.  Here's Abby's new look: She's also delighted with the fact that she doesn't ha
