Shockingly, I didn’t pass out
My dad, notoriously in love with things that transport people, is currently into planes. And has friends that are into planes. Who fly planes. Who wanted to take my son on a plane. Their plane. Their tiny, itty bitty plane.
I LET HIM.
I couldn’t tell a thirteen year old […]

I finally uploaded the bazillion pictures from it today. So, here’s a rundown of my life in the time of this camera.
We adopted another baby, Toby.
There was this. I knew I had a damn picture of it.
I have these two pictures of Lydia. Looking at…something.
Eh???
My sister started playing hockey. Then she […]

On Wednesday nights, I teach a late class. Mike picks up the boys from my house and just keeps them overnight and brings them home in the mornings for school.

“How pregnant do I look in this shirt?”

Man, Holidays are Joyous Around Here
If you want a happy Easter greeting, here it is:
Happy Easter!
Now, if you’re in a foul mood and want miserable company, stay with me. I’m spending another holiday alone.
I’m alone today because of several factors. Some of these factors I didn’t really get until Saturday night when I was being a crybaby to […]

One of the things I adore about NB is that he has many long term women friends. Friends he is close to, whom he loves, and with whom he routinely spends his time. Kick ass, strong women friends I also happen to adore.
Sometimes when we go out, it’s the two of […]
It Still Works
I love reading Hathor the Cow Goddess, a link I found over at Daisybones. This image reminds me of what happens during a thunderstorm, at every BOOM! I pat Brett’s tummy as he nestles in closer. Hathor is a mama with three little girls and a lot of how she parents worked for […]

I just went to my boys’ school to pick up my older son, Daniel. He is sporting a headache after his darkly lit, but with bright computer screens class.
There has been evidence for a long while that a new subdivision of houses would be built near the school, which seemed fine. It always […]
