http://marlene.wandel.ca/bebe/ en-us 2011-01-02T00:35:31-05:00 http://marlene.wandel.ca/bebe/000926.html For the time being, you can find me being Pollyannaish here In theory daily. We shall see. Since that is supposed to be being about being positive, perhaps I will pop in here just to rant. But that would be... Marlene 2011-01-02T00:35:31-05:00 http://marlene.wandel.ca/bebe/000925.html That's all this past month was. Just a blip and a blur, along with some whirring and humming and a bit of late night muttering. And a tiny bit of crashing and banging, because if they insist on constantly tearing... Marlene 2010-12-22T22:52:07-05:00 http://marlene.wandel.ca/bebe/000922.html That's the trouble with shift work, even the minimalist version that I participate in. I'm hungry when I get home. And I'm energized, and exhausted, and usually sweaty with frozen nose and frozen toes, and all the while, I am... Marlene 2010-11-24T14:23:19-05:00 http://marlene.wandel.ca/bebe/000921.html Rainy November is ick. Snowy November is lovely and cozy and makes me want to work on Christmas presents. This November? It rains after it snows, every time. That's just nasty. But the few hours of snow we have are... Marlene 2010-11-22T09:10:12-05:00 http://marlene.wandel.ca/bebe/000920.html A tiny moment is really all it takes to start a blog post...yet lately, they seem so few that I tend to indulge in other things. Like tea. No day is complete without tea. Lots of it. Those of us... Marlene 2010-11-09T14:41:14-05:00 http://marlene.wandel.ca/bebe/000919.html Until I get more organized (well, that'll be never), here is some cuteness for distraction. Indoor play is starting to take a more active role in our day. I have to harden these kids off to the cold, or winter... Marlene 2010-10-22T10:08:20-05:00 http://marlene.wandel.ca/bebe/000918.html The days were longer when I was a kid. In fact, everything was bigger. It's such a neat perspective, to take the kids to a place where I spent a good chunk of my early years. Though, what with them... Marlene 2010-10-22T08:24:22-05:00 http://marlene.wandel.ca/bebe/000917.html We'll miss you. We will be happy to see the colourful leaves of Algoma next week, though. Time to get the woolies out...... Marlene 2010-09-28T22:32:33-05:00 http://marlene.wandel.ca/bebe/000916.html Unfortunately, the stray cats around here roam far beyond the alley. Most notably into my gardens in search of poop possibilities. They've been mostly thwarted this summer, but it's still maddening. Digressed already. In a thousand pictures, and a few... Marlene 2010-09-21T13:58:12-05:00 http://marlene.wandel.ca/bebe/000915.html I'm currently in a Thanksgiving rant mode. But I'll spare you the details, except to say, those of us living high on the hog in North American middle class society ought to be thankful all the time. Which leads me... Marlene 2010-09-14T22:38:34-05:00 http://marlene.wandel.ca/bebe/000914.html Some of the best moments elude the camera. For those of us who share a house with a teacher, the week before school starts is when reality sets. Suddenly, the Papa is gone for most of the day, our play... Marlene 2010-09-03T21:04:28-05:00 http://marlene.wandel.ca/bebe/000913.html Summer is always so crazy. Why is that? Road trips, family visits, keeping up with the jungle in the back yard... More soon...... Marlene 2010-08-10T15:59:38-05:00 http://marlene.wandel.ca/bebe/000911.html It's all been a blur lately, what with one of us finishing work, one of us going back to work, and next week, we're both going to work. Excellent for showcasing the juggling/childcare arranging (or mooching from friends...) skills we've... Marlene 2010-07-04T15:19:10-05:00 http://marlene.wandel.ca/bebe/000910.html You can count on a couple of things when Matthias comes to visit. Something in the house will get fixed, or improved. Somebody will somehow "fail" to see a no trespassing sign. I'm pretty sure everything below the high water... Marlene 2010-06-09T09:50:58-05:00 http://marlene.wandel.ca/bebe/000909.html You might think 33X100 refers to the size of our lot, but no, it refers to how many pictures are in this post. That's right, one per square foot. Seriously though, I never thought I would tolerate life on a... Marlene 2010-06-03T19:50:46-05:00
