Happy Halloween!

Posted by: Melissa W on: October 31, 2007

J is off to school in his skeleton costume.  (Let’s just hope he doesn’t need to potty while he’s there!)  I think C will be a lion.  At least I think it’s a lion…it’s the costume J wore for his 2nd Halloween and I could have *sworn* it was a lion but now that I [...]

What is that big shiny thing in the sky?

Posted by: Melissa W on: October 27, 2007

Seems to me I remember something like that…could it be the SUN???  I just dragged my butt out of bed and the house is empty, the van is gone and the SUN is out.  Hallelujah!  I feel like a new woman already.  I can’t believe how quiet it is in here…
I have no idea where [...]

Rain, rain, go away. Even though we’re in a drought.

Posted by: Melissa W on: October 26, 2007

Most of North Carolina is in an “exceptional” drought.  I even heard at one point that we had less than 100 days in our water supply.  I think (hope!) that’s all changed since the last several days have been nothing but rain.  I hate to complain about it, but it’s making me stir crazy.  We [...]

Kidney stones strike again.

Posted by: Melissa W on: October 22, 2007

 Woke up this morning with all the symptoms of a stone stuck somewhere it should not be.  *sigh*  At least I got through my birthday without one, right?  Soooooooooo frustrating!  I’m going to try to tough it out today and see what happens, though I think my optimism is sorely misplaced.  I have symptoms of [...]

23. Yep, that’s right!

Posted by: Melissa W on: October 21, 2007

Today I’m 23. Or 32 if I stop pretending I’m making a typo.
I remember the day I turned 23 I said I wanted to stay that age forever…I was young, single, had a good job, etc. Now I’m not young, not single, and my job is taking care of 2 little boys. [...]

Exhaling…

Posted by: Melissa W on: October 18, 2007

So the meeting was nothing, really.  No news on layoffs or anything like that.  We’ve got so much baggage when it comes to jobs that I can’t help freaking out about things I probably shouldn’t.  I want to believe good things, but it is so hard when you’ve been burned like this.  For goodness sakes, [...]

Job stress…need some good thoughts.

Posted by: Melissa W on: October 15, 2007

There is stuff going on at D’s job.  Too much to go into detail, but they are supposed to be having meetings and filling people in tomorrow.  We are assuming there is a chance of layoffs, and are pretty worried about it.  If he is laid off, this will make #4, in 6 years.  The [...]

W Family Players

D is the dad, the husband, and the breadwinner. All around nice guy and good at pretty much everything he does. It's disgusting, really. But makes him worth keeping around.

M is the mom, the wife, and the hopeless housekeeper. At least the kids' heads haven't fallen off yet. Beyond that, she sucks at the "stay at home" thing. Oh, and she's the blogger.

J is the big boy. Born October 11 2002, he is in kindergarten and loves it. Now 6 years old, and too smart for his own good. Talks a lot but extremely entertaining.

C is the little boy. Born June 26, 2006, he went through a lot in his first year but is doing just fine now. The only blond in the family, so his paternity is routinely questioned by rude strangers.

V is our baby girl. She is brand new and arrived in January 2009. So far everything is going well. We're thrilled to have added the final piece to our family puzzle. And yes, she WILL be the final piece!
