As Baylee matures, she has more and more anxiety issues. She hates interruption of routine and when things change her anxiety gets the best of her. She worries when people in her life are absent….such as a teacher, aide or bus driver. She worries when people appear to be injured. She [...]

Hello all! Merry Christmas!
I have sadly neglected our blog for a very long time, but I assure you our adventures with Baylee have continued without interruption! Thank you to all who have sent snail mail Christmas cards, photos and newsletters! I cherish them all and love getting them in the mail. [...]

Going Mobile!
I haven’t posted much lately because I’ve been working so much, but I’m off work from my “day” job for the summer, so I plan to devote more time to my computer endeavors. I still have the “second” job and the family business to run this summer, though, but I hope to keep posting [...]

‘The most terrifying words in the English language are: I’m from the government and I’m here to help.’

We only have one holiday tradition and that’s work. [...]

Election day sadness and trepidation
Politically I am a conservative. I wouldn’t technically say I’m a Republican because I consider myself a Libertarian which is even further to the right. I think government should be small and stay the heck out of our lives–personally and economically.
I’ve always been a voter since I was old enough [...]

Note to self…
Four firefighters, a plumber and 90 minutes later, Dave was freed from his dishroom purgatory with his hand mostly intact.
Who designed a commercial disposal with such a small hole???
Lesson learned.
Sometimes our adventures don’t always involve Baylee.
In case you’re wondering, the rubber spatula was saved.

Betcha didn’t know I had a fourth child
Colton, Baylee, Lukas
Originally uploaded by baysmom3
Yes, besides Lukas, Baylee and Colton, I have a fourth child. No, t’s not my DH, though he qualified for child status when he broke his ankle. I’m happy to report he is now sufficiently mobile enough that he functions without a mom.
My fourth child goes [...]

Summer to-do list check-up
In June, we had a blog challenge to make our summer to-do lists. Summer isn’t over yet (for us at least), but I thought I’d do some self check-ups to see how many goals I’ve accomplished.
Here are my five summer to-do list items:
1. Resume a regular running program and run a 5k [...]
