Yesterday evening the kids and I picked Dan up from work (my car is non-functional at the moment, so on the days I have errands to run I take Dan to work so I have a set of wheels to use for the day), and then went over to Red ...Comments (0) »

I'm writing this blog post from our local pool. I worked until 12:00pm, and then Dan and I packed up the kids, swim gear, and lunch, and came down to the pool. It's mostly cloudy today, the humidity is down, and the temp is maybe 75°. Translation? It's not the ...Error: The Folder [/home/mamahood/public_html/wp-content/plugins/headlines] is not writeable.Like a fish

Alyssa and Ryan have adapted to swimming very quickly. The pool has been open for two and a half weeks, and we have already been there six times. Today we arrived there a little after 12. The pool opens at 12, and I intended on getting there at 12 in ...Error: The Folder [/home/mamahood/public_html/wp-content/plugins/headlines] is not writeable.What we’ve been up to

One word: water.
The pool opened last weekend, but only for the weekend apparently, as when Ryan's therapist and I were making plans for her to observe him and work with him this past Wednesday, I found out that the pool wouldn't be open regularly (as in every day of the ...Comments Off

I'm on my third day of being at the pool with Alyssa and Ryan, and today is the second time that I'm here alone with them. Dan was with us yesterday, and I'm not going to lie, it was nice to have his company. It was also reassuring to know ...Comments Off

The community pool opened yesterday at noon, and we were here a few minutes afterward. Yesterday was kind of nervewracking for me, as it was my first time taking Alyssa and Ryan to the pool alone. Up until yesterday I always had Dan, my mom, or Jason with me. But ...Comments Off

It's officially spring in a little over an hour -- 1:32pm -- and it's definitely a beautiful spring day. As I type this I'm sitting at a long picnic table that is situated just outside of a completely fenced-in playground. It's one of those large, sprawling wooden playgrounds, with wooden ...Comments Off

Today was too gorgeous of a day to spend it cooped indoors. So a little after 1:00pm, right after Ryan went #2 in the potty (!!!!!!!!!!), the kids got dressed and put on their sweater hoodies while I made up some roast beef & cheese sandwiches, and then the four ...Comments Off

Today (well, yesterday now. I'm talking about Sunday for those who may be confused!) was too gorgeous of a day to stay cooped up indoors. I went out to Target in the morning to pick up an insulated lunch bag style cooler (and was pleasantly surprised and impressed with the ...Comments Off

Around 3:30pm Alyssa and Ryan start clamoring about going to the pool. We usually go later in the day because...
a) it's cheaper
b) the sun isn't as strong, so I don't have to be as vigilant/overzealous/paranoid about sunscreen and sunburn
c) it's less crowded
So I said okay. Alyssa changes into her swimsuit, ...Comments Off
