Overcoming Disaster and Dirty Diapers
Yesterday on May 22 marked the second year anniversary of the Joplin tornado. When we arrived to the anniversary last year it felt like not that much time has past since I nearly lost my life. This year it felt like much time time has past. I think that’s a good thing. Last year I was blubbering mess. This year: not so much. I think that means I’m finally getting away from…Read More
Hi everyone! I hope your week has been going great. Leo and I just managed to get over a nasty stomach bug that started on Sunday. I was glad I got over it before today because I was looking forward to attending the KOAM & FOX 14 SkyWatch Weather Tour. If you’re a long time reader of my blog you know my passion for weather. You might also know I…Read More
Leo has truly become a full blown toddler. When my little man is not sleeping he is getting into everything. He’s always working on how solving a problem whether it be how to get to the television remote or how to climb on top of boxes. His vocabulary is expanding too. I’m “Mom.” My mom is “Nana.” Matthew is “Da.” The sippy cup is still “Baba.” His favorite words to say…Read More
If you live in the Midwest you may already be preparing for Severe Weather Season. Where I live at Severe Weather becomes pretty active from March until June. That doesn’t mean where I live isn’t prone to severe weather any other time of the year. We have a risk for severe weather tonight and tomorrow. Severe Weather can hit at any time. I want to help you prepare for these…Read More
Between preparing for the Kansas City #GracoSafety event, turning Leo’s sleep schedule back around, and squee-ing in excitement over my first family photos I nearly forgot to tell you guys I made a huge change. I haven’t had a haircut in a year in a half. The last haircut I had I wanted to continue to work growing my hair out. You see I’ve been working on growing out my…Read More
Have you seen the video I posted a week ago on The Miracle Momma Facebook Page? If not you may very well see it on TV tomorrow 9/28/2012 (or later on today depending on what time it is!). Here’s the clip: After seeing LMFAO’s Party Rock video shortly after the tornado I told myself I wanted to shuffle. That never happened. Once I saw the Gangnam Style Music Video I…Read More
This past weekend was interesting to say at least. On Friday I knew we had the chance for severe weather to roll in. Whenever we have the potential for severe weather my laptop becomes my weather station. For my own sanity I have at least 3 or four different windows up with different weather information. I have to keep track of the weather. I also have to have someone with me…Read More
We have two teeth. Woohoo! I would share a picture of my son’s teeth but he is way too wiggly for me to get a good picture of his mouth. So instead of a mouth picture I’ll show a baby picture as compensation. Who doesn’t like baby pictures? Leo will be 7 months old in a few days. He is getting SO CLOSE to crawling. Everyone keeps telling me life…Read More
With my favorite shows finally ending for the spring or being cancelled I’m feeling kind of lost in my evenings. Now before you call me a couch potato (I prefer couch tomato. Tomatoes are sexy.) you have to hear me out. My son, bless his soul, is just like his mommy. He is a very clingy cuddly baby. He gets upset if I don’t interact with him. He has to…Read More
I -finally- got some antibiotics for my stupid abscessed tooth. Now if I could just get into the dentist I’d be pretty happy. I’m running a low grade fever from the infection. Ick. I haven’t spoken about my antidepressant lately. The last time I did was when I had a major reaction with caffeine. It wasn’t pretty. For those new to my blog I am on Wellbutrin to help with my chronic…Read More
After going on for what seems like forever about taking Bouncy Buns back to the park I finally accomplished it! We went early in the morning before he gets fussy. It was invigorating to enjoy the warm air with a touch of a cool breeze. I’ve always been much happier during spring and fall compared to summer and winter. I’m not quite sure what it is that makes me happier.…Read More
