Day 347 - Tuesday, December 13, 2011 – When your husband travels 4 out of 7 days a week, you just have to do some things yourself.  Like put up the outside Christmas lights.  It's not a lot, but it's better than nothing.

Day 308 - Friday, November 4, 2011

Day 298 - Tuesday, October 25, 2011 – Jeremy and his assistant Dan came by to install shelves in the garage so that we can get rid of our rented storage unit. If I did the math right, this will add about 200 square feet of storage space.

Day 297 - Monday, October 24, 2011 – So, this bug landed on the window ledge outside my office, and I nearly jumped out of my seat. That sucker is HUGE!

Day 275 - Sunday, October 2, 2011

Day 210 - Friday, July 29, 2011

Day 210 - Friday, July 29, 2011 – Liam is blaming Owen for the fact that he has been locked out of his iPod Touch for over 21 MILLION minutes...um that's like 40 years according to my math!! I'm blaming Liam who insists on assigning a password to his device for no reason other than to keep his younger brother from playing with it. Unless he has secrets of national defense stored on this thing that I don't know about, he has no business putting a password on it in the first place. It's off to the Apple store for us.

Day 207 - Tuesday, July 26, 2011

Day 207 - Tuesday, July 26, 2011 - I told Owen that he could play the XBox if he and Ronnie cleaned the basement. He enthusiastically told me that he and Ronnie had already cleaned the basement, so I asked him to take some pictures as proof. He came back upstairs having taken about 20 photos, of every angle of every room of a spotless basement, including the BATHROOM!
