Dear House, I Love You. Please Quit Picking On Me.
Nikki posed this picture last night as she felt a bit left out since I was taking so many pictures of the teenagers. Heh. LilZ has had one of his childhood friends in town visiting for two weeks now. She visits every summer and it’s like getting the Gang Back Together. Assuming, of course, that I’m part of that gang and they’re not typical teenagers wishing I’d quit annoying them with the walks down memory lane already! It’s been a great two weeks... Read More

I don’t know why I hadn’t... Read More

Beyond Grateful.
This time last year I had a job – so I spent my birthday shopping for clothes for the first time ever. A few weeks later I got laid off. The End. ********** I have written and re-written this entry 100 times. Some of the drafts I got too wrapped up in missing my Dad. Other drafts focused too much on how the last year made me a Stay At Home Mom and how that is like having the best job in the world: Doing work I adore. But for the shittiest boss on the planet because no one... Read More
