Smart Ass.

MrZ drove yesterday when we went south to take LilZ to camp. He picked me up at my office, and we took HIS car because it has air conditioning. My car? Stayed at my office. As we were pulling into our parking lot of the apartment complex last night, I said “Shit. My Car.” We had made it all the way home and had NOT gotten my car. We decided he would just take me to work this morning rather than drive out to the other side of town when we were already beat. Well, when... Read More

Low Carb Casualty

Go buy donuts, Dammit! And not just any donuts, Krispy Kreme Donuts! This Low-Carb trend has Gone. Too. Far. If Krispy Kreme folds? I will make my dog Sweetie chew up the shoes of all Atkins dieters AND I will send the bostons over to poop in all your shoes that Sweetie does NOT chew up… AND I will send my cats to pee in your beds. Seriously. Don’t even ask what MrZ, LilZ, and I will do to you… Go Go Go!!!  Read More

My Lunch Date

(We are pretending that I did NOT exceed my bandwidth this month and that there was NO crash of the blog. If you saw the crash of the blog? Pretend you didn’t. Thanks) LilZoot is at work with me today. At least until it’s time to drive him to camp. He and I just went to Target and got a sushi platter (Super Target has a Sushi Chef) for lunch. We sat on opposite sides of my desk discussing everything from “What makes our dogs’ poots SO bad?” to “Are... Read More

Intoxicating Cuteness

I’d like to take this opportunity to display some pictures of my EXTREMELY photogenic dog – Sweetie. Have I mentioned that we got a new dog? This is how I killed time on the way back from dropping LilZ off today. I don’t want the Bostons to get their feelings hurt, but my GAWD, isnt she GORGEOUS?!  Read More

Boys are Grody

Today is the first day of the second session of our overnight camp. LilZ is excited, of course, and actually? I’m not as depressed as I usually am. So, mad props to me! w00t z00t! I sent LilZ with about 19lbs of bubble gum and 6 bags of water balloons. You know, the bare necessities. I was joking with him last night that we should just leave his shower supplies at home since he doesnt bathe while he’s at camp ANYWAY. Which he doesnt. “Okay, Mom. That’s... Read More

Hi. I’m Kim.

This is my blog that I've been writing on since January, 2004. I call myself Zoot as it's a derivative of an old childhood nickname. I used to write about my struggles to have children, but eventually I succeeded and now, I write a lot about those kids. I don't use my kid's exact names simply because if someone Googles their very unique names in the future, I don't want them stumbling upon my entries about boobsweat. I mean, would you hire someone whose Mom writes openly about such topics? NO. YOU WOULD NOT.

I love taking pictures and carry my camera (almost) everywhere I go. This means you'll see a lot of photos on this site. I also periodically post recipes I like as I've been slowly (but surely) learning to cook and I like to share my discoveries. Finally? I'm an annoying pop culture fanatic so I'll periodically ramble about Hunger Games or the latest Parks and Recreation.

I hope you like it here. If not? Please don't tell me. I cry easily.
