Just the Mommy: February 2007
http://justthemommy.blogspot.com/2007_02_01_archive.html
Wednesday, February 28, 2007. Weekend, what weekend? Dear Andrew and Abby,. Well, now that we've made it to Wednesday, we've almost recovered from last weekend. Of course, we've also been out doing things every night so far this week, so we haven't completely recovered. Mommy felt like a whirling dervish in the kitchen Saturday and Sunday - we made a corn casserole for the Blue and Gold (Grandma Jamie did most of that, thank goodness! And I haven't cooked since then! And then one of the last cakes. Went ...

Tuesday, October 16, 2007. Over the river and through the woods. Dear Andrew and Abby,. This past weekend, we visited your Papa and Grandma Dottie. It's been a while since we went to see them (July! We had a very fun time - we carved pumpkins. Abby's is the frog-o-lantern, Andrew's is the mummy-o-lantern). And Andrew went fishing and then we went to the Great Pumpkin Patch in Arthur on the way home on Sunday. With a toy closet! And a big TV! And a fun yard! And Grandma cooks yummy food! The coolest scare...

Just the Mommy: April 2007
http://justthemommy.blogspot.com/2007_04_01_archive.html
Monday, April 30, 2007. One reason to be glad for no recent growth spurts. Dear Andrew and Abby,. So, now we fight to get you to bed, but once you're out, the visits are less frequent. But once in a while, we still get a visitor. Last night was a visit to remember. Bedtime came late - it was a gorgeous evening and we stayed outside until almost 9pm - Mommy and Daddy blow the bedtime routine yet again. Andrew was standing next to my bed. And I heard a noise like water running. Uh oh. I returned to my room...

Just the Mommy: May 2007
http://justthemommy.blogspot.com/2007_05_01_archive.html
Thursday, May 31, 2007. It's come to this. Dear Andrew and Abigail,. And so here we are. I know that the reason we are here on this specific evening is because of our weekend. As fun as it was to see our friends in Tennessee, I know that the repercussions. Of disrupting your schedule so drastically are these fits from both of you, but more fiercely from Sweet Abigail. For Andrew, everything is hard, frustrating, unfair. We're hearing a lot of exasperated pre. Ooh, I HATE that! You had fun swimming. And t...

Just the Mommy: January 2007
http://justthemommy.blogspot.com/2007_01_01_archive.html
Tuesday, January 30, 2007. Like, gag me with a grody spoon to the max! Dear Andrew and Abby,. Case in point: Several months ago, Abby learned a new favorite word. Her new favorite word started with an "S", ended with a "T" and had a friendly "Hi! To say that word! And for the rest of the morning, she repeated it over and over. And over and over. "I totally beat Andrew! Mommy, I totally beat Andrew? Never just "I beat Andrew." No, it was always a TOTAL beating. Unfortunately, I also watch a lot of Grey's ...

Friday, March 30, 2007. Because I said so! Dear Andrew and Abby,. This is Mommy's list of Things That Must Stop Immediately:. Is it hot in here.". Yes, I know Daddy does it, too. But he's bigger than me and you're not. So stop it.). Accidentally-on-purpose wetting the bed while you are still awake but trying to prolong the torture of sleep. Encouraging your sister to be the one to go ask for another drink of water or to come and climb in your bed after you've both been told No more getting up. To any req...

Just the Mommy: August 2007
http://justthemommy.blogspot.com/2007_08_01_archive.html
Friday, August 31, 2007. Dear Andrew and Abby,. And the biggest one is that we HAVE to go to work. Well, I suppose we don't really. But I do know that you two are both pretty fond of eating and I think the novelty of sleeping under the bridge after we lost our house would wear off pretty quickly. But I asked her where we would go on this plane. Her answer? Clearly this would be so we would not waste precious minutes on driving that could be spent waiting for the cinnamon breadsticks.

Tuesday, November 6, 2007. Little People, Big Girl. Dear Andrew and Abby,. Tonight, Abby broke my heart. It's been coming for a while, but tonight was the end.
