7 Quick Takes ~1~ Many thanks to those who emailed or called after my post about my frustration with the lack of progress in terms of M’s GI problems. Your ideas and support are much appreciated. I’m not sure what the next step will be… ~2~ We seem to have flip-flopped seasons again. All [...]

7 Quick Takes ~1~ We seem to have gone from winter straight into summer. Three weeks ago there was snow on the ground… last weekend the temperature was in the 90′s. I wouldn’t have minded a little spring… ~2~ The gardens are in… I’ve stolen my kitchen garden area back from Lili (the chicken), [...]

7 Quick Takes ~1~ It feels like we’ve spent all week running around. We’ve been out to Longhopes Donkey Shelter (just to visit, not to get another donkey), to Casa Bonita for lunch with some friends from our homeschool group, and to the riding center for lessons. We took Cody to the vet, and I think [...]

7 Quick Takes ~1~ A spring snow is bringing some much needed moisture today. We are supposed to get 6-12″ of snow, but I don’t think it’s going to make it. That much snow would be nice though… the pastures are very dry. ~2~ M is sick again (still…) so I am staying home [...]

7 Quick Takes ~1~ I wasn’t sure I’d have time to get to this today… it feels like things have been impossibly busy here this week. ~2~ Which makes me think of a funny saying… it pretty much fits how I’ve been feeling this week. “I’m so busy I don’t know if I’ve found [...]

7 Quick Takes ~1~ I think caffeine is going to be the word of the day today. M was up and down (and up and down and up and…) last night, and I’ve been wandering around bleary eyed all morning… while he catches up on his sleep! It’s days like this that I wish I [...]

7 Quick Takes ~1~ We watched part of the Winter Olympics opening ceremonies last night, it was on too late for us to watch all of it… but what we saw we enjoyed. M especially enjoyed the parade of nations, and trying to figure out where all those places are! ~2~ The Winter Olympics [...]

7 Quick Takes ~1~ I’ve spend the whole week “putting out fires” at Children’s Hospital. From the way this is going you’d think nobody with schizophrenia had never needed surgery before. I like the way the kid’s pediatrician put it… “If M was injured while skiing or something and needed his hip repaired, there would be [...]

I’ve really enjoyed the Simple Woman’s Daybook I’ve been doing each Monday. It seems like a nice way to start the week… both looking ahead to what the new week will bring, and keeping a record of many of the little moments that are all too quickly forgotten… I’ve decided to try ending the week with “7 [...]
