The Sariah

I was bored and avoiding going to bed (don’t ask me why… I’m super tired), and I decided to do a Google search on my own name.  I wanted to see how many other Sariahs I would find, and I wanted to see how quickly my name came up.  I was actually on the first [...]

Clean Room, Kisses, Phone Call

Here is this week’s Happy Wednesday segment (sorry that I missed last week!  I’m sure you’ll all survive).
1.  Aiden putting dirty clothes in the laundry basket, a book on the bookshelf, and toys in the closet so he could have a clean room when he went to bed.  (and it was all his idea to pick [...]

Checking In

I have recieved emails and phone calls of concerned friends because I haven’t posted in a while, so I thought I’d let you know that I’m still here and I’m okay.  Yeah, I’ve been a little down, but nothing to worry about.  The biggest reason I haven’t posted is that I just haven’t been too [...]

Painting the House

If you have seen my Flickr pictures (and I think most of you have now!), you have seen the proud painting of my two little monsters.  I was here in the computer room yesterday, trying to solve a riddle with Laural, thinking the boys were happily watching their favorite video du jour, when Aiden came [...]

Gimme Some Skin!

Look at how cool my iPod is. I mean, it is just awesome, isn’t it? Since I’ve been carrying my iPod everywhere lately, and since my children love to play with it and get their grubby little hands all over it, I’ve been contemplating getting a case or skin of some sort. [...]

Books, Compliments, and Flowers

Here are this weeks Three Beautiful Things that make me HAPPY!
1.  Buying a brand new, hardcover book that I am so excited to read.  Oh!  And it only cost $10!
2.  Receiving multiple compliments on how great my kids look in their “ethnic” clothes (see Flickr later today for pictures).
3.  The little purple flowers that have [...]

The Start…

Ches has an interview today with a high school really close to where we live.  He had to take the whole day off work because of the timing of the interview and the long commute to where he teaches right now, so let’s hope the interview goes well.  The interviewing season as begun!

Holiday Conversations

I was in Target Friday night, shopping for baby shower I was about to attend, when I heard the following conversation:
Father: Oh, this is cute! Look at this, honey, it’s like a little yarmukle. Do you like this one?
Daughter: Yes, Daddy.
Father: Would you like to get this? You can [...]

A Little Patience, Yeaahhhh-aaaahhh

How do you learn patience?  Other than praying for the Lord to grant me patience in all my dealings (especially concerning my children), I really don’t know what else to do.  I am definitely not a patient person.  I think it makes for an endearing quality at times like Christmas and birthdays when I am [...]

Chocolate, Bedroom, Help

I can’t believe I’ve been so caught up in everything else today that I almost forgot about Wednesday’s Three Beautiful Things That Make Me Happy!!  Sheesh.  Here we go:
1.  Eating Easter chocolates that my son got in preschool but is very willing to share with his chocoholic of a mother.
2  A clean bedroom with freshly [...]
