Tales of Tanya: August 2013
http://talesoftanya.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html
Wednesday, August 14, 2013. If time passes between posts. It's not because I don't want to post, but I'm busy building cathedrals. It all began to make sense, the blank stares, the lack of response, the way one of the kids will walk into the room while I’m on the phone and ask to be taken to the store. Inside I’m thinking, ‘Can’t you see I’m on the phone? Can you fix this? Can you tie this? Can you open this? 8217; I’m a satellite guide to answer, ‘What number is the Disney Channel? No act of kindness yo...

Tales of Tanya: Family of 7
http://talesoftanya.blogspot.com/2014/06/family-of-7.html
Friday, June 27, 2014. Do you know how hard it is to get seating anywhere when you have 7 people in your family? And how about babysitters - they're hard to find! We'd just gotten into the mode of "eh, you're old enough to stay home alone if we want a last minute date night." No more! We have our first placement - 2 little girls. They've been with us for just over a month now and we are really loving having them (well, most of the time! To a spitting up, crying Little! For the first time ever, I'm actual...

http://talesoftanya.blogspot.com/2015/02/whew.html
Tuesday, February 17, 2015. I love kids. I'd have a ton if I could. I mean, like challenge the. Kind of ton. (Darn my pragmatist husband! So, adding a couple of littles to the mix last spring was like a dream come true. 9 months later. WHEW! I underestimated my ability to keep up with them all - a baby (we could stop there with 'nuff said), a 2 year old (again, need I go further? 3 in at least one sport/extracurricular activity at all times (but often two! I've loved every minute of it, okay, nearly.

Taller than his momma and still growing. Is 15 and heading into her Sophomore year. Working her first summer job. Not taller than her momma :-). My heart is fu...

Tales of Tanya: April 2014
http://talesoftanya.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
Friday, April 4, 2014. Progress: 5 days in with T25. And 35 lbs down. Woo hoo! I am really surprised, since the last time I did this, it took me about 3 months to lose 8 lbs. My body must have been craving some activity! I have a goal weight, but if I don't get there, that's ok. I'd rather just feel good and have my clothes fit well. Oh, and on other progress fronts:. I registered my teen for Driver's Education. (sigh.). I chaperoned my other teen's first real date. (bigger sigh.). Mr S and Me.

Tales of Tanya: May 2013
http://talesoftanya.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html
Thursday, May 23, 2013. Believe it or not, I was a dancer. I took 11 years of dance lessons and was in competition Dance Troupe during high school. That does not, however, translate to grace apparently. In the midst of talking, tossing my son's athletic support to my husband (hey, he was chafing after 4 back to back tournament games in hot weather! Day 1: kind of swollen and sore, but over not too bad. Day 2: uh, oh - not sure my knee is supposed to be that size. and I think it should bend, right? She pu...
