Tired

I need to update about our trip to PA and then to B-town, but I am just exhausted. I’ve been tired for the last couple of days–isn’t one supposed to be rested at the end of vacation? Apparently I am not one of them. It’s driving that takes it’s toll on me, I think! I’ll [...]



Going to PA

I won’t be blogging consistently (ha–I don’t anyway) the rest of this week and next. We’re going to PA for a last visit with Stevan’s parents before we move even farther away. Please pray for Ella–she didn’t have a blowout today (for the first time all week), but the diapers are nastier than I ever [...]



High Chair Maintenance

The cushioned mat that I had to remove last night and put in the washing machine….wasn’t supposed to go in the washing machine. It’s still in one piece but it isn’t as pretty as it once was. Whoever put the directions “wipe off with a cloth” didn’t know what they were talking about. Hello, Graco–what [...]



Messy Monday

Well….I don’t think messy quite explains what I just experienced a half hour ago. I’ll apologize ahead of time for the content of this post, but I have to share what I just had to go through all by myself while Stevan was at a board meeting. Ella was in her high chair feasting on [...]



Ella is definitely MOBILE

Oh my! This child is on the go the whole time she’s on the floor now. Twice she followed me into the bathroom yesterday and she is now coming into the kitchen when she figures out that’s where I’ve gone. She’s so cute and so ornery when you tell her, “No!” now, too! Oh dear! [...]



A Happy Mother’s Day Weekend

Well, actually it started on Thursday when I decided to use one of my gift certificates for a manicure and pedicure. Stevan offered to watch Ella so I had an afternoon of pampering that we didn’t have to pay for. Then, when I arrived home the UPS guy delivered something to the door. It was [...]



Survivor Winner!

I was hoping he would win Survivor and he actually has! Woohoo! Yippee Skippee for Earl! Of course Yau Man rocked, but when Dreamz tricked him and kept the immunity necklace, I figured he’d be gone. Though I must say that I was quite shocked that no one voted for Dreamz. Sure he went back [...]



The Best Babysitter

My mom is coming today to visit and then to babysit Ella while Stevan and I attend the Red Umbrella concert tonight at church. I have already posted how thankful I am for my mom, but once again I am realizing that some of the things I’ve relied on her for this year won’t be [...]



Whelmed…

OK–so my last post was quite the insight into my emotions. I’m not feeling as anxious with all of the tips people have passed my way. Thank you to all who have sent ideas, tips, words of encouragement, and made phone calls to make sure I’m not too overwhelmed. I think I have more a [...]



Reality is setting in…

Yes, jessicasheets.com readers, reality is setting in that my husband’s last Sunday in good ol’ Warsaw is coming sooner than later. It’s May and school will be out soon which means Stevan’s position will be finished in the next couple of months and we will eventually….move….somewhere. It’s not where we will move that has me [...]
