That’s what you get for asking for more pictures…

NikkiZ had a photo session today and we finally got to put her in REAL clothes. I, on the other hand, have still not gotten out of my hospital gown. I am blaming that on the staples in my abdomen…actually? I’m blaming EVERYTHING on the staples right now because they get me a LOT of attention. Score. MrZ and I are eating lunch together before he goes to get LilZ and take him to his soccer game tonight. I hate that I’m missing a tournament game, but at least MrZ... Read More

Hello NikkiZ

This is the Hello Kitty doll that my brother-in-law’s girlfriend brought NikkiZ. How cool is it? I love it and may steal it when no one is looking. Look at those scratches on her face! She has her pictures today so I filed down her nails this morning hoping that maybe she won’t add any more before her picture gets taken. I took a shower last night…aren’t you impressed? I no longer stink! MrZ isn’t going to divorce me because of my body odor! They... Read More

The food at our hospital is actually quite good.

Damn. Hospitals suck. We’re getting really severe cases of cabin fever being here. MrZ got to escape for a wee bit today, but not enough to actually take that hospital funk away. We’re icky. We’re also a wee bit moody. Crying over our daughter, our beautiful new daughter. Crying over her hands, her feet, her healthy little body that could have not survived delivery if it weren’t for a perfect set of circumstances. I think the reality of how close we... Read More

Sleepy Pie

I’m hoping if I just keep coming back to post photos, I can get by with very little actual THOUGHT in these entries. Does it work that way? MrZ just got back from running errands and taking a break from being at the hospital. He says he feels SO much better…he was pretty zapped before. I have been having to constantly get him to do everything for me and it’s been rough on him. He’s handled it beautifully, of course. I’m a lot more useful today than... Read More

We’re Back!

Well…sorry the site was down! EEK! But, here’s an adorable picture to make up for it! I’m hoping to write more later, but I totally wanted to post an entry about how much I love you guys that I spent a chunck of my morning trying to straighten out my bandwidth issues so i cold get my site back up and running. We’re doing okay. Still at the hopsital, of course. We’re all VERY tired in ways I never knew possible. I didn’t sleep at all the first... 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.
