SparkPeople

Posted by: Melissa W on: March 30, 2008

Maybe you’ve heard of SparkPeople…it’s an online weight loss/health community.  I finally signed up there yesterday and I’m making an effort (once again!) to change my eating habits and try to move more and lose some weight.  It is something I’ve struggled with since puberty.  I have polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) and one of the [...]

I despise Wal-Mart. I have for years. I hate their business practices, plus I find their products, service, and selection to be vastly inferior to Target. I LOVE Target. I spend about $100 every time I step foot in that place. When we lived in Florence, (that’s SC, not Italy!) [...]

It’s 10:00 AM and I’m ready for this day to be over.

Posted by: Melissa W on: March 27, 2008

I have already been puked on this morning.  I think I should just crawl back into bed and sleep until tomorrow.  I can deal with blood, snot, poop, pee, etc. but vomit really does me in.  Ugh.  C seems to be feeling a little better now, so I can only pray that it’s a short [...]

Back to the grind…and Obama.

Posted by: Melissa W on: March 26, 2008

J’s back to school today.  I have TONS of photos to edit and post from our time at my mom’s and Easter, but I just don’t have the motivation.  I’m sorry…maybe later today?  I’m overwhelmed with other stuff right now and it’s just not been high on my list of priorities.
I know I mentioned Obama [...]

So C has a birthday coming up…and we’ve found his present!

Posted by: Melissa W on: March 24, 2008

C will be 2 in June.  Hard to believe!  Some of you have been asking what he wants/needs, so here’s a little inside scoop.  We’ve decided to get a backyard playset for him and J to share.  It’s something we’ve been wanting for some time.  Sanford is severely lacking in public parks/playgrounds and the one [...]

Look what I got for Easter!

Posted by: Melissa W on: March 24, 2008

Yes, it’s a closet. To be more specific, it’s *my* closet. And until yesterday, it was a dark, ugly useless space. It is only 48 inches wide. It was painted peach (of all colors!) and I had just one high bar with a shelf above it. Didn’t even come close to [...]

Returned from the K-town!

Posted by: Melissa W on: March 21, 2008

Everyone has returned to Sanford safely — D from a work trip to Indiana and the kids and I from Knoxville.  We had a great time with my mom, but I’m happy to be back in my own bed with my sweet husband beside me.  (Yeah, I’m sappy, sue me!)
J has been registered for school. [...]

Spring Break!

Posted by: Melissa W on: March 15, 2008

We are officially on Spring Break.  (Though they sent a note home yesterday to remind us saying that it was April 17-24…yet one more glaring example of how incredibly oblivious his preschool is — can’t wait to have him in kindergarten next year!)  I’ll be heading to my mom’s for a few days.  It should [...]

He got in!

Posted by: Melissa W on: March 9, 2008

Just a quick note to say that J got into the year round school!  I am *so* relieved!

A list of things I need.

Posted by: Melissa W on: March 5, 2008

First and foremost, I need a daycare that will take C on a *very* part time basis so I can actually get something done.  Every time I sit down at this computer to try to do some of the work on D’s website or the logo or anything at all, really, he’s in my lap [...]


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!
