Avalyn’s Foot is Out of Commission This Week

April 23, 2012, by Kat Robertson 269 views | 5 comments

Last night, 9pm rolled around and I started getting the kids in bed. I told Ava and Zoe to stop playing around and wind it down because it was time to go to sleep. Did they listen? Not hardly. About 5 minutes later, Ava started screaming and Zoe and Talia came running in the room with me saying there was blood everywhere. It looked like a mini crime scene! There was a puddle of blood in the bathroom floor, streaks of blood down the hallway, two small puddles in their bedroom, and when I made it to Avalyn, her foot was COVERED in blood.

Sometimes You Just Know A Good “Man” When You See Him

After reading the title, you may be surprised to find out that this isn’t about my husband. My son flies far under the radar most of the time, surrounded by a houseful of girls that are louder than him, outnumber him (four to one), and typically demand more attention than him. He’s not a child that requires a whole lot and if you aren’t paying attention, you won’t even notice that he’s around. However, when you do notice him… it’s normally refreshing. He’s funny, warm-hearted, respectful, sensible, considerate, and kind.

Motherhood: A Paradox of Dreams

April 9, 2012, by Kat Robertson 176 views | 5 comments

Motherhood is wondering what you did to deserve the good … and wondering what you did to deserve the bad. Motherhood is teaching… then looking back and realizing how much you learned all along the way. It’s watching a silent, slight breath and wanting to freeze a seemingly insignificant moment forever. It’s the twisted enjoyment of spending every dime you have on someone who won’t appreciate it for another twenty years. It’s impromtu water battles and hour-long talks about birds and bees and all things important and uncomfortable. It’s tears of joy… and tears of pain… tears of heartache… tears of pride… tears of exhaustion… tears of fulfillment… tears of frustration… tears of wanting to hold on… tears of having to let go… and tears of remembering periods from a life well-lived.

Humpday Update: Tears for Canon, Talia’s Headaches, and The Voice

I’m going to try to start doing a weekly Wednesday update, especially when I haven’t updated much during the days leading up to it. Here’s the first of (hopefully) many … y’all know how terrible I am at maintaining weekly patterns LOL!

Summary

My camera was stolen from me, Talia went to the neurologist, and I’m looking forward to The Voice having casting calls in Atlanta at the end of the week, so I went shopping which was mostly a complete fail.

Wordless Wednesday: Bow Legged Baby? Not Anymore! {Before & After}

February 21, 2012, by Kat Robertson 332 views | 13 comments

Zoe was extremely bow-legged when she was younger. People are always shocked when I show them photos of her legs then and now so I figured I would share a “before” and “after” now that her legs have straightened up. {Click to enlarge…} We rejected suggestions from her pediatrician to operate (basically breaking her bones [...]

As of 2:24pm central standard time today, my stepson — Kaleb Deshaun — is 11 years old. I hope that his eyes eventually happen to come across this article and that despite everything he’s been told, he understands — or at least begins to realize — just how much Barry and I and all of the kids [...]

Happy 12th Birthday, Briyana!

I totally forgot to post to my blog on Briyana’s birthday *ahem* 8 days ago. Since she’s on Facebook, I made a post for her birthday there so I could tag her. The kids rarely visit my blog, so I knew she wouldn’t see it here. I did mean to post something though LOL Here [...]
