Lessons in Motherhood

Alright so maybe I overreacted slightly on the whole changing schools thing. Hailey just went off into her new classroom with very little hesitation. Her teacher is awesome, and the kids seemed great. Sophia was pretty calm while I was there. We talked to all of the other little girls in the class. Then, she [...]

Outside of Sophia’s biting and bad behavior (which has completely turned around by the way), there have been other exciting happenings in the Hamilton household.
First and foremost, over the weekend I made the single greatest Craigslist purchase in the history of my Craigslist purchases. Here it is in all of it’s glory. It’s [...]

We’ve had a crazy week here at the new house. I know that’s not a good excuse for not writing, but I’m going to try to be better about it this week.
Anyway, we have some friends who live in Huntsville, AL, and they have had no power since the tornadoes on Wednesday. [...]

The best part of packing was realizing all of the tiny places where Sophia could squeeze herself

Also, there was much fun while we packed

Then, there was some pre-move shopping at Sears because let’s face it…I couldn’t live in the house for long without a washer and dryer…

I wish that I had pictures during the [...]

We close on the new house tomorrow. I can’t even believe it. It’s freaking amazing. Yes. I am losing my mind. Yes. We spent the entire weekend packing.
I kept thinking of it as the Last Chance Weekend. If it wasn’t packed by Monday morning, I was [...]

Wednesday was just your regular run of the mill pool day and thank God because I was pretty much ready to sleep for 24 hours straight after the Disney extravaganza. I mean those girls wore us all out on Tuesday. Wednesday was a little cold…

But they still had lots of fun. Well, [...]

It’s Monday now, and we’re completely recovered from our long ordeal. Grandpa arrived last night, and the girls were thrilled to find him sleeping soundly in the morning. There was much jumping for joy when they found him.
Today we decided to take a detour to Cocoa Beach which is about an hour away [...]

It has become abundantly clear to me (in the past two weeks) that Tuesday suck now that I have to take Hailey to dance class at 6pm. It’s a lot of effort to get Hailey from school, drive her home, get changed, eat dinner, park at the dance place (yes, that part is quite [...]

This is what I tell myself every time Sophia has an accident (no matter how bad that accident is…and we all know how bad they can be). It’s my calming mantra. It’s not you…it’s me….ohhhmmmm….it’s not you…it’s me…ohhhmmm.
Ok. Now that I write that, it’s a little crazy. But, remember, [...]

We made it safely away from the snow in Atlanta and straight into the snow of Buffalo. Luckily, this snow does not have the half inch icy glaze on it like you can see all around Atlanta. Anyway, we are here enjoying the fire, and tomorrow Hailey will try out her new snow [...]
