Lux et umbra vicissum…

It’s been a gray day. I had a headache most of the day, and that didn’t help. The rain threatened, but it really only sprinkled ocassionally… just long enough to chase us inside before it stopped again. The only real rain we had was inside. Twice. Both times from our supposedly potty trained daughter who […]

*sigh* Alexis seems to be an introvert. She generally likes to go off in a corner and play with a doll or read a book rather than interacting with any other kids that might be around. Not that she’s always that way… she does play with other kids sometimes and seems to enjoy herself. Actually, […]

You should see my house. The party ended at 11:30 this morning, but I still haven’t gotten up the energy to actually straighten things up. I did manage to clean up food items so we won’t have any more ant trouble, but there are toys coating the living room floor. I can’t tell if there […]

Branwen’s been climbing up onto the windowseat recently. I found out fairly quickly that there was no real way to stop her from doing it, so I’ve concentrated on teaching her to sit on it instead of standing. That part has gone pretty well, though when she wants to push her boundaries she’ll stand up […]

What a rush! What a thrill! I bought four very pretty 4T dresses for Alexis today that cost me a total of $17! Ok, so it’s sad that I’m getting thrills from such things, but when you’re pinching pennies you gotta take the thrills where you can get ’em. 🙂 They are very nice, anyway. […]

I was checking the stats for our sites yesterday, and I found that some random guy we’ve never heard of had a link to one of our sites (a fouse.net site… not sure which one) in his archives somewhere. He’s blogged so much that there was no way I was going to find the link, […]

When I think about it practically, it was really such a small incident in my day… but it got me mad to the point that I was actually trembling when I got out of my van. Ok, so that was partly because I needed to eat, too. In any case, I want to type about […]

Forgot to mention, I was up late last night because Joel and I rented “Cold Mountain.” I don’t really recommend it. The acting was good, but there was a good bit of foul language, quite a bit more sex than was necessary, and the plot was well-worn enough that I was able to predict what […]

I’m going to try to type fast. I’d like to get to bed early tonight for a change. I didn’t sleep well last night (after getting to bed late), due in part to my nervous state of mind. I agreed to teach a once a week older-two-year-old class during the Women’s Bible Study at our […]

I realized as I was walking back from the playground that, the way life is, I should probably just plan on typing one rememberie at a time and build them up gradually that way. So here’s number two, a memory generated by our playground trip. When we got to the playground, I decided to let […]
