TGIF – Gratitude Day 6

Posted on 6 November, 2020 by dilovelyadmin

Right now, I am very very grateful that it’s Friday, and three out of four of us can sleep in tomorrow. (Poor Sean is working overtime. Boo.) I don’t know about the rest of you on the North American continent, but this hasn’t been the greatest week for sleeping around here. I am also grateful…

Paragon of Calm needs a reboot. Already.

Posted on 14 January, 20187 December, 2018 by dilovelyadmin

In my last post, you may remember that I have made it my mission to be calm in the mornings with my kids. I’d like to tell you proudly that I made it through the week with exemplary calm! But I didn’t. Not quite. I think it comes down to a sleep problem – one…

Undulating Perspective III: The Importance of Sleep

Posted on 23 May, 201623 September, 2018 by dilovelyadmin

Hey, y’all. As you know, I love May. It’s the best month. This year, May has been tougher for our family than it usually is. I’m gonna tell you why for venting purposes, but you can skip this paragraph if you want. Blah blah: all four of us got a stomach bug at different times…

Unqualified

Posted on 26 February, 2014 by dilovelyadmin

Lovely Di-hards, I know you know that feeling of being in over your head. I’ve had it many times over the years, lots of “what have I gotten myself into” moments. Teaching has provided more than a few. So has cooking at Camp. Of course, the biggest moment like that, for many of us, is…

A Little Night Weaning

Posted on 4 December, 20134 December, 2013 by dilovelyadmin

November was obviously a banner month for Barely Blogging At All. Sigh. I’d like to say that it’s because my other project was progressing in leaps and bounds, but I’m afraid that’s not the case either. What there HAS been: some serious sleep issues – for all of us. Especially me. So today, I’m thrilled…

Undulating Perspective II: Blurry?

Posted on 25 October, 2013 by dilovelyadmin

Odd how my last post was about climbing ladders out of dark places… and then this week I’ve felt barely able to climb a very short ladder. I’ve just gone back and re-read a post from almost four years ago, in which I discussed how widely varied is my outlook on life, depending on several…

Eight Random Things with Brilliant Segues

Posted on 18 March, 2013 by dilovelyadmin

{Actually, I make no guarantees that the segues will be brilliant. But whatever.} My last post was a downer, I know. But now! I am able to lighten up for the following reasons: 1. I have awesome friends/family/Di-hards. THANK YOU for your sympathy and support, and offers of help. I hope I haven’t worried you…

A (mostly) Depressing Post.

Posted on 14 March, 2013 by dilovelyadmin

I should probably not be writing right now. In my present state, it’s like drinking and dialling: I might use inappropriate honesty. For the last many weeks (I haven’t been counting because that just makes it worse) Baby A, and therefore I, have been sleeping in increments no longer than 2 hours, and often 90…

The Trick Revealed! + other stuff that’s not as fun

Posted on 16 November, 2012 by dilovelyadmin

Um, yeah. It’s 10:19 p.m. as I start this post. I’m not going to be writing anything awesome today. I spent the hour between 9 and 10 (plus a few extra minutes on either end) trying to put my baby to bed. Somehow, in that time, she went from totally calm, a little bit yawny,…
