Things I wanted to Blog about during January when I had virtually no internet

I kept adding things to my list of blog posts that I created on my phone. I probably won't ever get to actually writing these posts, but it gives a bit of an idea of where my head has been for the past 3 1/2 weeks. Aside from just b*tching about not having internet, that is...

1. Why won't August sleep?
2. What I think about tea
3. My knitting WIP's (works-in-progress)
4. Dahlia & the "Trying 3's" (ay yi yi)
5. My new recipes
6. 11 Things a Month in 2011
7. A post about all the things I'd blog about, if I could
8. August's First Head Bruise
9. The Princess Phase - Evil Empire or Passing Fancy?
10. 2011 'Resolutions'
11. How do I wean this beautiful boy?
12. Did I mention how much I hate not having internet?
13. Finishing Riley
14. FlyLady...again
15. August's mobility
16. The Art of Cutting
17. Why I like x-country skiing
18. What I'm reading now
19. Seriously? How many times do I have to watch 'Cinderella?'
20. Potential employment & what I think about that...
21. Project Postcard re-instated for 2011
22. August turns 9 months old

Blog posts are so easy to write in your head. I'm so much wittier, eloquent, creative & clever. Ah well. I am what I am. We'll see if I can take February to make these "posts" a reality.

Sounds fascinating! Get writing girl!

And I know what you mean about writing blog posts in your head & how they sound so much better up there. I write several every time I swim or run. 90% of those never see the light of day.

I should've done this a year ago....

A pandemic game time & conversation (via Zoom)   Well, we're about 13 months into this pandemic and I should've been back blogging then. I mean, I was home an awful lot. I could've done it. But I didn't. I wrote in my actual journal but that's a crazy mish-mash of stuff. This would've been fun to keep just pandemic stuff. Ah well, live and learn. I'll be ready for the next one (no, no, I won't). It's been a year...a year of ups and downs; of being laid off and re-hired; of wondering what to do with my life and starting grad school. We got fish, we got two kittens. What a year.  Kids have mostly been troopers but there have been some tough days. August went back to hybrid last fall, then everything stopped for a while and went back to 5 days a week in February - hooray! Dahlia finally got to start hybrid in.....February? (I can't remember) and then started back in person 4 days a week...but after her first 4 days she was identified as a "

Penguin Shenanigans

Image
For our 2020 Winter Reading program, there wasn't an overall theme. I decided to create my own theme. And the Penguins took over the library! I printed out real-to-life sized photographs of penguins...an Emperor, a Fairy, a Chinstrap and a Galapagos Penguin to be exact. I put them on the walls in one area. My hope was that kids would stand next to them and measure up - and they sure did! It put a smile on my face every time. Above each penguin I included some facts. Usually where they lived, what they ate and any quirky stuff about them. It's always great to be able to provide a little learning opportunity along the way. We also included penguin voting. I always think it's fun to add a pre-math activity when I can. I made 4 buckets with a photo of each of the aforementioned penguins. Kids (& adults) were able to ask for a "voting token" (ie: a saved bottle cap) at the desk and then put it in the bucket of their choice. It was fun hearing t

I figured it out....

and IT'S A GIRL!! I'll do a proper introduction later and the whole story and everything but in the meantime, we had a baby girl. 2:15pm on Friday afternoon (I posted at, what? 10;30am? You do the math!!). Her name is Dahlia Marie and she weighed in at a whopping 6lbs even. 19 1/4" long and so incredibly gorgeous (although, I might be a wee bit biased). The birth was the most amazing experience I've ever been through and my mind is still, well, blown, quite frankly. I am so tired though...time for a quick nap before we try to feed again.
