It's a grumble day

I am cranky and irritable! I think that's all I should say today.

Though I am very grateful that my son & daughter are feeling better.

I'll check in later.

Hello again!

Thanks for reading.

So, we survived all the holidays, and have settled into the January doldrums. I HATE doldrums.

The kids are doing well. Jake is growing up so fast! He is cool & funny & handsome. He's a great kid. Gearing up for the big transition to high school next year. YIKES!

Erin is soo funny, and getting smarter every day. SHe is starting to recognize her letters and numbers, and she is so social! She loves the kids at the gym, and is starting to make little friends and interact. She is also busting out a couple of 2 year molars. Not so much fun, but she is taking it well, and it will be over soon - I hope!

Tim is keeping busy, which is good for us, because we know many people aren't even doing that. We ARE beginning to mourn the end of football season. Hopefully we can survive a few weeks with Celtics action, then baseball! Baseball = sunshine and happiness here!

Back to school for me this week. Can't wait to learn and grow. Well, grow my brain, but shrink my butt. Please pray to the God of your choice that I can "do it all". It goes against my lazy nature to do it all, so it may not be pretty.

Tim & I are also coming up on 1 full year of marriage!!! Only 3 more years until our first anniversary! GO TEAM COUGHLAN 2-29-08!

Peace out.

imagine me & you...

It is just us. Just my laptop and I. Just my hope for the future. Just Windows Vista. It's kewl.

This laptop is more to me than checking emails and bank balances. There's a freedom to laptop that I am fully embracing. No sharing. No expectation. Just the love I want to share.

Thank you, Santa. Laptop = true love.

This posted pic is of my BIL Tom, and Christine's bird, Cricket @ Erin's bday party. This is posted because I am able.

Have to believe I am Magic!

Think I can do it? Will the new year give me the ability to actually post a pic of the kids?!?!

Oh BOY! There it is. My pantless daughter and her adorable "Boo" 'do!

Maybe my new laptop is giving me magical abillities to do things I have never done before!

Stay tuned to new and even more magical moments with the Coughlan clan!

Uhhh, not quite!

Did a LOT of crockpot cooking, but not much else. There's always tomorrow!

Chipper!?!?!?

That's how my dear friend Lori described me today. Who on earth would describe me as "chipper"? Well, Lori, obviously, but probably not many others. The funny thing is, I actually do feel kinda chipper. Now, don't get nervous, I won't be skipping around spreading love and good cheer or anything, but I just might get through today without threatening to hit somebody!

So, today Erin & I will probably do something cool like paint, take a bath, and go to Target. And don't tell anybody, but I may actually put Tim's laundry away for him too~hope he doesn't get too used to this good wife/ good life!

Where am I???

Well, these past few weeks have been challenging. Challenging a la Dorothy waking up in Oz, challenging. My head is still spinning from all the celebrations and storms. So, please excuse my short post, but I will be back. I just need to find my ruby shoes and click my heels together...there's nothing like routine, there's nothing like routine....
