I have been non-stop since yesterday. I finished painting the porch (pictures later) and then started playing catch up with the stuff that fell to the wayside while I painted. Today I had a doctor's appointment and then off to...

My sister noticed I put four pictures up on Flickr and then they disappeared. The story behind that is I am behind on posting pictures (we have been busy and have pictures to prove it!) and when I started to...

I woke up at 6:30 this morning. I just woke up and couldn't get my mind turned off again to sleep another 30, 10, or even 5 minutes. Instead I gave myself a little talking to. "Alicia, there is no...

I haven't been working on painting the front porch like I need to. I had a few set backs like rain and attitude. But the rain has subsided, the attitude has adjusted and hopefully tomorrow I will be able to...

As I said in the previous entry, I would jinx myself to boast that Fuller had two accident free days in a row. We have an Ikea train set ready to give Fuller when he has had five accident free...

I'm probably jinxing it by even telling you this, but Fuller has had two accident free days in a row. He has been doing everything on the potty now, still in the potty chair, but not in his pants. I...

Letting kids watch TV is one of those parenting hot topics I prefer not to get into. I will say we do let Fuller watch TV and until recently it was all PBS shows. Now that we have the expanded...

Yesterday I did something stupid and irresponsible. I was also informed by someone I could have been arrested for it. Usually I keep my keys in my pants pocket or on top of the car just so this doesn't happen....
