All Is Quiet On My Western Front

November 4, 2011 Uncategorized

Out my back door… There is a bit of a lull* these days, and yes, I’m loving it. I drove myself and all 8 kids home to east central Minnesota from Bloomington, IN, across 4 lovely states, with many bathroom and breastfeeding stops along the way, in just under 15 hrs, 2 weeks ago today. [...]

We’re Back!

October 24, 2011 Uncategorized

I woke up at 5, nursed the baby, put her in a fresh diaper, then proceeded to wake the rest of the children, one by one, sending them to use the restroom, putting their shoes and sweatshirts on (we all slept in our travel clothes, oh yes we did, don’t judge me), and then we [...]

Another Monday

September 26, 2011 Uncategorized

Can you believe we’re about half-way through this leg of the journey?! 2 1/2 weeks into a 6 week Proton Therapy treatment plan, in Indiana. This town, Bloomington, is easy to get lost in. I should know, I’ve been lost in it. On our first day here, I declared, quite emphatically, “I hate it here!” [...]
