http://Icequeen.freeblogit.com Just another Freeblogit.com weblog Thu, 06 Nov 2008 22:20:38 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en Wow... we've been busy.   So incredibly busy, that I've not found any time to come here in FOREVER. Tis the season though.   Hubby started on the Christmas light rampage November 1st.   It takes a heck of a lot of time to get 85 thousand lights strung up.   We've got lots of changes ... http://Icequeen.freeblogit.com/2008/11/06/tis-the-season/ For the suckiest blogger on the face of the earth!   It's been almost TWO MONTHS since I posted anything.   I REALLY must get my butt in gear. http://Icequeen.freeblogit.com/2008/09/25/wow-i-think-i-win-the-award/ So... the offspring was officially accepted into the private Tang Soo do academy.   She's pretty dang excited about it.   One lesson and she's already prepared to show me all of the moves.    I am vastly aware that I will likely misspell every single one of my attempts at the "correct name" ... http://Icequeen.freeblogit.com/2008/08/07/a-dragon-is-born/ I have been MIA nursing a kidney infection.   In case you've never had a kidney infection.  THEY FREAKING HURT!!!!! I have much to update about and will get those up tomorrow. http://Icequeen.freeblogit.com/2008/08/06/my-kidneys-suck/ Okay... so I said I wouldn't say anything... but isn't there something so amazing about a child's smile when they don't know you are looking????  (insert heart exploding feeling here). http://Icequeen.freeblogit.com/2008/07/31/photo-friday-all-photos-no-babble/ Every Thursday, I devote my blog to being thankful. I think in this life where everyone is under pressure to get everything done as fast as possible, where we are overbooked and under rested, we need to take a moment to stop and smell the roses. I got the idea ... http://Icequeen.freeblogit.com/2008/07/31/thankful-thursday-7/ So hubby and I got on the weight loss wagon again.   He's doing Atkins... I'm doing sensible eating.   I can't do Atkins.  My blood sugar plummets through the floor and I just don't think it's healthy!  But it works for him (quite well and quite rapidly I might add!).   You ... http://Icequeen.freeblogit.com/2008/07/30/weight-loss-wednesday-2/ I know I've posted before about how irritated I was, with her being super mom and all.   Hiding a pregnancy on a teensy tiny frame until the 7th month,  flying home from Texas AFTER her water broke, to ensure she didn't have her baby anywhere other than Alaska (baby #5) ... http://Icequeen.freeblogit.com/2008/07/29/tid-bit-tuesday-our-alaska-governor/ I've always wondered why no one really tells you what to expect when you enter motherhood.  All you ever hear is those usual things "life will never be the same"  "you'll never sleep again"  "you'll spend the rest of your life worrying", etc.   But they never really cover the in ... http://Icequeen.freeblogit.com/2008/07/28/monday-musings-mommyhood/ For all that know the offspring... bless her heart... sports is not her thing.   She loves them, but she really lacks the concentration to truly *play* the game.   She DOES have a blast, and that is all that matters!   They just finished their season this last week and she won ... http://Icequeen.freeblogit.com/2008/07/27/soccer-superstar-giggle/
