One Of My Many Attempts To Organize My Life

This is me! Trying to work on my webpage which you are undoubtedly looking at going: I HATE IT. But seriously? These changes are more for me. Some days I want to write about TV but I don’t because I don’t want this a TV blog. Some days I want to write about exercise but I don’t want to become one of THOSE blogs either. I find that if I write too much about any topic other than home/family, then I’m becoming a topic blog or something. WHY DO I MAKE THIS... Read More

My Starkid Adventure

I don’t know why it has taken me so long to write this entry. Actually, I do know. LIFE IS INSANE. But I’m redesigning my site and I want to test it out with this entry! If you don’t know what Starkid is, I suggest you watch this video. Pay close attention to the VERY BEGINNING when they discuss all of the teenagers. You’ll see me in line. NOT BEING A TEENAGER. Also pay attention to the 0:27 mark where you see me getting autographs and not looking as... Read More

UNDER CONSTRUCTION

I know my site looks wonky. Probably will for awhile. Just be patient while I fix it all. THANKS!  Read More

And After This Year? THERE WILL BE ONLY ONE CHRISTMAS LEFT WITH HIM. OHMYGOD I AM FREAKING OUT.

Halloween came and went this year and I didn’t get one decoration out of the closet. This says a lot as I have as many boxes of Halloween crap as I do Christmas crap. Christmas Crap is going to be the name of my Holiday album, by the way. I decided I wasn’t going to let Christmas come and go with the same apathy, so I got all of our stuff out on Thanksgiving Day and we put most of it up that weekend. We also went and saw Santa at Santa’s Village and we decorated... Read More

We Survived The Last One, We’ll Survive This One

MY CHILD! Man. I have to keep reminding myself that when his sister was three – we put everything she owned in the garage for weeks and made her earn things back one at a time. SHE WAS THAT BAD. And then TWICE we threw her in a cold shower when she punched the crap out of us. We were in the TRY ANYTHING phase and that seemed worth trying. AND WE SURVIVED. But y’all? Wes is trying to drive us insane with his rotten, no good, terrible, dreadful, horrible, obnoxious... 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.
