1,221

Holy Freakin’ Hell in a Hand Basket. That bitch made me wait FOUR FREAKIN’ HOURS. I’m pregnant and my beta is 1221 AND she used the words “which is exactly what we would expect it to be this far along.” I’m never what they expect. Never. And you know what? She doesn’t even want me to take another one! And she said I’m cute and smart and funny too. And she’s soooo sorry she made me wait all day for good news. HOWEVER –... Read More

Funky Dreams, Confusing Plots, and Betas…Oh My!

I woke up around 1:30am having a funky dream about how installing a WordPress test site on my server ruined LilZoot’s life forever. Mark, I think I’ll blame that dream on you. Okay? I tossed and turned for about an hour or so after that, trying to figure out what the connection is between the characters on Lost. Hurley and Jin are connected, Sawyer and Boone are connected, and Sawyer and Jack are connected. WHY? Yep. That kept me up for another hour or so. Needless... Read More

DID YOU SEE??

So. I’m NOT thinking about by beta. I’m NOT. Did you watch Lost tonight? Did you see Hurley on the television that the little girl was watching in that flashback scene? I’m telling you – my theory is that somehow all these people are connected. Sawyer was arrested the night Boone went to the cops about his “sister’s” boyfriend. Sawyer met Jack’s Dad. And tonight? Hurley on the TV in someone else’s flashback! WHAT DOES IT ALL... Read More

Of Course

Of course. My period is technically one week late, my boobs are sore and I’ve been tired. When I finally break down and take a HPT, it turns positive in mere seconds. I take another for good measure. Positive. We call the (Whore!) Nurse to get our lab slip ready. In the meantime? My nerves have gone haywire and I feel as though I’m going to either pass out or start bleeding at any minute. We get to the lab? And the damn thing is CLOSED for freakin’ lunch. CLOSED. Because... Read More

Stupid NOT MY Nurses

Ring, Ring Receptionist: Dr. SoNice’s Office… Me:Um, Hi. This is Zoot. It seems that I’ve just taken a pregnancy test and it was positive. BUT, I’m a Repeat Aborter so I need to come get a lab slip to get my Beta. Receptionist: Great. I’ll have the other Nurse call you right back. WAY TOO LONG LATER, not where CLOSE to “Right Back”…ring, ring Me: This is Zoot. NOT MY Nurse: Hi Zoot. I got your message. I’m looking at... 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.
