wide-awake mind: July 2007
http://wideawakemind.blogspot.com/2007_07_01_archive.html
Thursday, July 26, 2007. It's funny now that I didn't even mark this house down to go look at. When I saw it on Redfin (online listings) I skipped over it, with the thought, "That has got to be the ugliest paint scheme imaginable.". I remember this one; let's just stop and look.". We do have some exciting eventual plans for our house (tighten up some seals, remodel the bathrooms, change the cabinets and counter-tops, and redesign the basement), but it is extremely livable for now. Friday, July 20, 2007.

wide-awake mind: October 2008
http://wideawakemind.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html
Friday, October 31, 2008. Blog, blog, blog. See, one of the inherent problems with blogging, well, never, is that a lot of "potential" blog entries get lodged in my brain. So when I actually resolve to write a post, I can't decide what to write about. A little ridiculous. Which reminds me.if you ever need the perfect treat for having people over, or just for spicing up a meal, this is my absolute favorite fall treat, compliments of Ina Garten, the author of Barefoot Contessa.

wide-awake mind: Sleep
http://wideawakemind.blogspot.com/2009/11/sleep.html
Friday, November 13, 2009. Here is the nightly scene at my house:. Henry (tossing and turning): Waaaaaaaaah. Korwin (wakes up instantly): Kelly, Henry seems like he is hungry. Me (still dreaming about french toast): Who? Korwin (exasperated): You know, Henry! Me (rubbing my eyes now): Oh, you think she is hungry? Korwin (disbelief): Kelly, Henry is a boy. Me (big yawn): Oh, right. A boy. Okay, well, sure then. I guess being a parent doesn't exactly catapult you into the 'light sleeper' category. Korwin a...

wide-awake mind: November 2009
http://wideawakemind.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Sunday, November 29, 2009. For the past eight Thanksgivings, we have observed a family tradition of going around the table and sharing thankfulness from the past year. Each person talks for a little while, and everyone else listens. It is a simple and precious tradition, and it gives me a chance to reflect on the things that I realize I sometimes feel entitled to. So, this year, I say thanks for:. A partner who respects me and continues to show me that he loves me;. Wednesday, November 18, 2009. She look...

wide-awake mind: December 2009
http://wideawakemind.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
Thursday, December 03, 2009. Will wonders never cease. The sight this morning:. Pretty funny considering that Neko completely pretended that Henry did not exist for the first eight weeks of his life. She also refused to eat the week we returned home as a family of three instead of two. We thought something was wrong with her tooth, so Korwin took her to the vet. Nope, she was fine. She was just pouting. This morning, she jumped up on our bed, sniffed his ear and head, and promptly plopped down next to him.

wide-awake mind: Rise and Shine
http://wideawakemind.blogspot.com/2009/11/rise-and-shine.html
Tuesday, November 17, 2009. I have never been a morning person, especially not in November, when the rain pounds the windows and the wind howls and it's way too dark to arise at 6:30 or 7:00. But now, this is what greets me first thing in the morning. November 17, 2009 at 11:04 PM. Look at that tummy! November 24, 2009 at 12:18 AM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

wide-awake mind: May 2007
http://wideawakemind.blogspot.com/2007_05_01_archive.html
Monday, May 28, 2007. Not to torture ourselves, just to remember:. About the sun that make things easier to accomplish? What is it about knowing it will be visible that makes blog posting so difficult for me? Rabbits get results.what about Kellys? Monday, May 28: That means exactly one month until we leave for Thailand, exactly one month until my classroom needs to be totally packed up, exactly one month until I will be an official Madrona teacher as opposed to an official View Ridge teacher.

Thursday, July 07, 2005. The cutest fake smile in the whole world. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Maybe someday, I will actually be a consistent blogger. For now, I am a teacher, friend, procrastinator, perfectionist, aspiring runner (if it weren't for the procrastination), aspiring writer (if it weren't for the perfectionism.).

wide-awake mind: Note to Retail Employees
http://wideawakemind.blogspot.com/2009/11/note-to-retail-employees.html
Wednesday, November 18, 2009. Note to Retail Employees. In this edition of "things not to say to women who have recently had babies:". Yesterday I was in a store that sells baby clothes. The woman at the register asked: "Are these for your baby? With one of those big, overly sweet smiles. Yes, they are." Henry was in the stroller, about ten feet away, being wheeled around by a friend who is a few years younger than my mom. We had walked in together a couple of minutes earlier. Oh boy oh boy :).
