Hyperbole

I exaggerate a lot of my qualities around her for the sake of entertainment. I’m sure we all do that. While it’s very true that my domestic skills are not perfect, I never clean my bathtubs or my baseboards and my blinds? Halloween decorations on their OWN…my house is always presentable. I may prefer you to announce your arrival so I can dust or lint-brush the couches or something…but if you stop by unexpected? My house is always picked up enough for company.... Read More

Seriously With The Teeth!

Posted by on October 5, 2009 · 14 Comments 

So…AndyZ has been teething lately. BAD teething. He already has four on top and four on bottom, so the next teeth to cause him pain would be the 3rd from middle in all directions top and bottom. I have NO idea what those teeth are called. Hang on…let me look it up. Okay, so he has all of his incisors and the pain and drool were being caused by the cuspids. Let me tell you some stories to indicate how much pain he was in: He started biting me. And bit ONE kid at school.... Read More

This Will Hopefully Be The Last You Hear About My Wisdom Teeth

Posted by on October 2, 2009 · 20 Comments 

So…the teeth. I waited a few days post-op to write about it so I could make sure I was done. And let me sum up my story for you: If your wisdom teeth hurt? Get them removed. THE END. If you’ll recall, the first attempt to have the remove was canceled. However, my fear before that appointment was so strong that I was crying and yelling to my husband about the terror and how he just didn’t understand. I’m reminding you of this so you will know…I am... Read More

The One About The First Time I Bought Chicken With BONES In It

Posted by on October 1, 2009 · 32 Comments 

When composing an entry intended to keep the attention of your readers, it’s best to start with some sort of shocking hook. Something to grab them and make them want to hear the rest of what you have to say. My hook is actually something I tweeted yesterday: Anyone who has been reading this blog for more than a few months knows that the above tweet? Must have been written by someone else because…me? COOKING TOO MUCH? Never have I uttered those words in my entire... 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.
