See Ya Later – Alligator

We Zoots are going out of town for the night. We are meeting my Dad and other family up in Tennessee for an impromptu mini-reunion of sorts. I am NOT taking the Doppler because I can only pick up the heartbeat of the baby every few times I use it, and the unsuccessful times between turn me into an emotional basketcase. NOT a condition I want to be in while visiting with my Dad’s brothers and sisters. This will be a good trip, LilZoot has only gotten to hang out with this... Read More

Dude. That was INTENSE

Did you see LOST last night? My god. That dream/nightmare Locke had, with Boone all bloody? Scared the SHIT out of me. And is Boone going to die? I don’t WANT him to die! I love me some Boone! He’s such a loyal puppy dog to Locke. And why did Locke lie about what happened to him? And why did that light turn on? Oh – that was FREAKY. And does Locke have the use of his legs back full force? Or not? And how funny was the Jack helping Sawyer storyline? Especially... Read More

Symptom of Pregnancy: Inability to Avoid Memes

Stolen from Divine Reality who borrowed from Janey who got it from Laura: Name the most unusual object you possess. A very smooshed and loved stuffed Ewok that I received for my 10th birthday. Name three things you like about yourself. Name three things you don’t. Like: 1. My mad organizational skillz 2. My ability to see another person’s point of view (stolen from Divine Reality) 3. My feet. They’re cute. Dislike: 1. The rest of my body 2. My over-sensitivity 3.... Read More

ZZZZzzzz

We did not get to sleep until LATE last night because we HAD to watch the two hour Amazing Race and then we HAD to watch the Lady Vols beat Rutgers and then we HAD to watch House. And yes, those were all VERY important, shut it. My point is that I’m freakin’ TIRED today, people. I stayed up WAY past my bedtime. AND I just ate a crapload of food for lunch so I have a full and happy belly. AND my feet are toasty because I have my heater on under my desk. AND did I mention... Read More

Me and Mrs. Federline are TWINS

Have you read the tabloids recently? Have you seen all of the pictures of Britney Spears “Before” and “After” that show how she has developed a little bit of extra belly and a whole lotta extra boobs? And now everyone thinks she might be pregnant? That is totally me. Look at her “before” and “after” pictures? And imagine the “before” not quite as tan or tone? And the “after” a tad more flabby? And you have... 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.
