Belated Happy New Year!

January 3, 2022 TJ Fox5 Comments

I sort of gave myself the gift of being unplugged for the holidays. Everyone was going to be home. Hubby takes vacation every year to closely match the kids' winter break from school giving us all almost 2 weeks of just family time. Of course we do the holidays, but the rest of the time… Continue reading Belated Happy New Year!

Wild, Stressful, Emotional Week

December 16, 2021 TJ Fox3 Comments

This whole week has been weird. And wild. And stressful. And emotional. And it isn't over yet. I knew it might be emotional because it is Christmas program week. I have one down that I managed to make it through without crying. Mostly because BG and her friend in that class were goofy and laughing… Continue reading Wild, Stressful, Emotional Week

Going With The Flow

September 15, 2021 TJ Fox8 Comments

I've been quiet on here lately. Mostly because I really haven't had much to say, but also because my brain is in a weird place. I'm having a lot of really good moments I want to squee about and not so good ones I want to whine about. When I think about coming here and… Continue reading Going With The Flow

Checking Off That To Do List

August 16, 2021 TJ Fox2 Comments

The last several days have been hectic. There have been so many different things I've been dealing with or trying to get done, it has been a kind of musical chairs of tasks and trying to shift everything in a way to actually get any of it done. My room is completely finished except for… Continue reading Checking Off That To Do List

Never A Moment

August 4, 2021 TJ FoxLeave a comment

You'd think I'd have learned by now. Things never really slow down around here. I'd really thought I'd have at least a week of uninterrupted time to work on my room this week. I stupidly forgot to look at my calendar, which was packed full of things I had to do, mostly shifting into back… Continue reading Never A Moment

New Resident Arrival

July 30, 2021 TJ Fox5 Comments

We officially have a new resident in the house! Hubby and MC ended up having to make the trip to pick up MCG without me because my stomach decided to try and secede from my body the night before we were supposed to leave and there was no way I could sit in a car… Continue reading New Resident Arrival

Craft Room Project: The Cat Milestone

July 18, 2021 TJ Fox6 Comments

It took absolutely forever, but I reached another major milestone on this project. The stairs are now fully trimmed out with all the major paint touch ups done (I'm sure there will be more before this is done). This includes the doorway to the basement. That means that my ugly, makeshift, temporary door is finally… Continue reading Craft Room Project: The Cat Milestone

Vacation, Visiting, And More Work

July 2, 2021 TJ Fox11 Comments

This last week has been packed so full, I've hardly had a second to sit down. Hubby took the week off, in part because this was our week for our visitors and partly to help me get some things done. So even though he has technically been on vacation, there has been no vacationing involved.… Continue reading Vacation, Visiting, And More Work

Rolling With The Changes

June 14, 2021 TJ Fox2 Comments

It seems as though we are just past the edge of several major shifts around here. MC has gotten and started his first job. So many things prevented this from happening before, but he is finally getting out and getting a taste of the real world. Of all the jobs he could have chosen, he… Continue reading Rolling With The Changes

Just Enjoying

May 8, 2021 TJ Fox5 Comments

There has been no work done on my craft room the last few days. There were things that desperately needed to get done and Hubby wanted to spoil me a bit, so I took a bit of a break. Hubby and I both had our 2nd vaccine shot scheduled for Thursday morning, so I suggested… Continue reading Just Enjoying

Fauci Ouchie Time and Recital Season

April 11, 2021 TJ Fox4 Comments

Almost everyone in this house will have gotten their first shot by the end of the week and I'm SO relieved! MC got his first on Friday though the university. BG has an appointment for Monday for her first and I go on Tuesday for my one and only. Hubby has an event at work… Continue reading Fauci Ouchie Time and Recital Season

More Frozen Fog Spikes

January 11, 2021 TJ Fox1 Comment

Today starts MC's second semester in college. While almost all of his classes are from home, he is going to be spending a large chunk of time almost every day at the school for his eSports practice. It does make me nervous, but there are protocols in place. Everyone on the team had to take… Continue reading More Frozen Fog Spikes

Playing With Snowflakes

January 2, 2021January 1, 2021 TJ Fox4 Comments

I've been wanting to play around with a better technique of getting really great shots of individual snowflakes and their crystalline structure. With the snow coming down like crazy and my front porch protected, I thought it'd be a great time to try to play. Unfortunately, my first thought to capture the flakes individually didn't… Continue reading Playing With Snowflakes

Cookie Day

December 26, 2020 TJ Fox6 Comments

I did a whole lot of procrastinating, but these finally got done. I do love doing these, but I HATE mixing up all the batches of icing and getting them colored. It just really seems to take forever. When you are still feeling like crap, the thought of having to put in all that work… Continue reading Cookie Day

Night Of Lights

December 19, 2020 TJ Fox2 Comments

This is another photo from last year. Tonight will be our annual drive to look at lights. I'm kind of shocked that my 16 year old AND my 18 year old think this is still something awesome to do and are excited to do it. I honestly thought by now that they would think it… Continue reading Night Of Lights

Finally!

December 10, 2020 TJ Fox7 Comments

We finally got word that MC is NOT required to live on campus next semester to meet his scholarship requirements. We do still have to pay half the tuition, which I'm not a fan of, but I honestly do not care if it means he can be at home with less risk. I never understood… Continue reading Finally!

Bug Bitten

December 9, 2020 TJ Fox3 Comments

I'm taking advantage of what might be my last no contractor day before Christmas that isn't a weekend and getting the last little bit of needed shopping done today. I'd rather not, but there are a few things I need to get that aren't easy to order and that Hubby can't get for me, so… Continue reading Bug Bitten

MC made his college eSports team!! Sorry! Just needed a moment to yet again brag on my awesome kid. đŸ˜€

Not To Brag…

November 21, 2020 TJ Fox8 Comments

Okay. I'm totally going to brag because I need to focus on something awesome. I've mentioned that MC was invited to become a TA for his computer programing teacher. Originally, he couldn't and get paid because of financial rules, but he is going to be able to do it as a volunteer next semester instead… Continue reading Not To Brag…

My Chicks Are All Home In The Nest

November 19, 2020 TJ Fox6 Comments

I just got done unloading MC back at home until at least after the first of the year. He will be home for the remainder of his first semester at college and, fingers crossed, hopefully all of next semester as well. We've moved all his stuff back home to be on the safe side and… Continue reading My Chicks Are All Home In The Nest

Home For The Holidays

November 15, 2020 TJ Fox2 Comments

I was given this year's nutcracker last night! Hubby had started giving them to me early so I could enjoy them the whole season. Some years I get them earlier than others because he cannot stand to hang on to it after he gets it. This showed up on the porch yesterday afternoon and it… Continue reading Home For The Holidays
