Ask Me About Harry’s Code – Glarkware I kinda want this shirt. I would especially love to order an XXL size to wear while pregnant. Why Not to Switch to Partial Feeds : The Blog Herald I am one of the many who really dislike (possibly hate) partial feeds, I’m glad to see someone intelligently write about why full feeds are better. “A” is for Aardvark » Blog Archive » Blog it forward What a GREAT blogging idea! I’m going to think of a way to... Read More

It’s Bad Enough The Stuff Tastes Like Crap

So — this day has sucked donkey balls. Instead of reading you the laundry list of things that happened today to make me have a mental breakdown a short while ago, I’ll let you know the most TRAGIC event. The OTC cough syrup my doctor approved for me to take — the stuff I went and bought on the way home from the doctor, which I took one dose of — ended up spilled all over the white canvas bag I carry around with my CRAP in it. All over the calendar inside... Read More

Coughing. Tired. Coughing. Tired. Rinse. Repeat.

I told myself when I sat at the computer this morning to write an entry, that I couldn’t talk anymore about coughing (and how much it sucks) or the exhaustion I’m feeling at being up all night coughing. And then I just stared at the blank screen because those are the only things I can think about. This previously innocent allergy-induced throat tickle has turned into a chest-pain-causing raging cough that has kept me at the 3-4 hour sleep mark for three nights in a... Read More

This is how the Zoots celebrated Easter while the rest of you were at church.

Happy Easter! Or Day of Lotsa’ Candy (As My Family Calls It)!

I feel like a broken record this week repeating how my allergies are causing me all sorts of fun issues. Yesterday was a GORGEOUS day and even though my sore throat/cough/voice complications kinda made me want to just sit on the couch all day – I forced myself to do stuff outside. We went to an Egg Hunt/Brunch at a local grocery store where every time I opened my mouth to talk, someone did a double take because the weird voice I have now DOES NOT BELONG TO ME. I scared a... 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.
