No Rest for the Weary

Latte with The Queen Mommy

So, to catch up – Droolah is handling her breathing treatments well, and is starting to get used to the machine & noise associated with it.  She did sleep for 6 hours straight before that, which is an improvement.  She was up too early this morning with a long coughing fit, but the coughing seems… read more »

Wordy Wednesday

Latte with The Queen Mommy

The Plague! the Princesses are sick.  Curly got a deep chest cough Sunday night, Droolah got it last night…  Both girls slept well, but sounded A-W-F-U-L this morning.  I’m breaking a cardinal rule of parenthood and giving them medicine without the direct advice of their doctor.  Before anybody feels the need to report me to the… read more »

Tuesday Thoughts

Latte with The Queen Mommy

My Buckeyes lost…  A moment of silence please… I couldn’t even watch the whole game.  I went to bed before halftime after watching LSU consistently convert their 3rd downs, and OSU continue to commit some really stupid penalties.  It was like watching a hot air balloon slowly lose its air, and I was already tired… read more »

Go (OSU) Bucks! No (Star)Bucks!

Latte with The Queen Mommy

I am not a huge  sports fan – but I tend to gravitate towards football, and actually enjoy attending a sporting event rather than watching it on TV.  My brothers played in sports and I was an avid (if somewhat obnoxious & loud) fan when they played.  Tonight the Ohio State Buckeyes are playing for the national championship -… read more »

Out with the Old, In with the New

Latte with The Queen Mommy

Happy New Year!  We spent Saturday with my family at my parents house.  It was a good time to visit and see the kids again.  My niece, the original “Curly,” – well, I think she grew about 4 inches since Thanksgiving!!!  It’s too much!  She’s a sweetheart and loves Curly and Curly loves her.  Princess… read more »

Fast Friday

Latte with The Queen Mommy

I am looking forward to the next 5 days with my family.  Both of the princesses are still not feeling well (and even feverish), so a few days off work and at home will be good for all of us.  4:00 will be here before I know it! For the most part, Santa is done… read more »

Tuesday's Tossed Salad

Latte with The Queen Mommy

Celine Dion is leaving Las Vegas.  I have never been to Las Vegas and really never had a strong desire to go there – except to see Celine Dion’s show in Vegas.  Now that she is leaving, Vegas isn’t as enticing. I have been a devoted fan of Celine Dion since I first saw the… read more »

It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas

Latte with The Queen Mommy

Took my philosophy final on Friday evening and got a B out of the course.  Whew!  It was a really interesting course – and I enjoyed the last unit the best.  It touched on philosophy of religion and apologetics, which really made me think.  I love taking these courses online and have registered for 2 courses in the spring… read more »

Props to my Peeps… er Peers…

Latte with The Queen Mommy

After some soul-searching, some boredom at work, and some inspiration, I decided to change the look & feel & location of my blog.  So I should give some credit where credit is due and I should probably thank my personal inspirations. Thank you JennyfromChicago for your wonderful blog (Chased by Children – you’ll find the… read more »

Home vs. Work

Latte with The Queen Mommy

Should I feel guilty for breathing a sigh of relief at knowing both girls are at their Mama’s house while I’m on my way into work?  After the long weekend we endured, it was actually a pleasant prospect knowing I was heading into work which is fairly predictable and routine.  Have you seen the recent… read more »
