Oh, so many reasons for my absence here. Mostly, though, I have been focused on some other projects. House Projects: Now that it is consistently nicer outside, we’ve been focusing on things that need to get done around the house. This is our first summer in a house (we lived in a condo for the [...]

On Mother’s Day we brought Jasper home. Unsure of how things were going to go, I think our first week has gone pretty well. Tim never really had a dog growing up, although I think his parents would disagree with that, and I only had one — a Lhasa Apso named Gizmo that we got [...]

The other day I was at Target and parked behind a car that had close to 30 of those little bobble-head animals in the back window. It was absolutely amazing, and frightening, how many little dogs, cats, and lions were in there, looking back at me, their heads wobbling in a deranged way. But it [...]

It’s no secret — I love Twitter. I’ve been on Twitter since February of 2008. I don’t follow a ton of people and I don’t have a ton of people following me. I’m just kind of on there. I feel like, with in the past couple of months, Twitter has become the “it” thing. I [...]

I tend to write about being a mom on here a lot. How could I not, it takes up 90% of my life right now. And tomorrow is a day to celebrate all that encompasses motherhood. I’m not sure how I feel about it. I mean, yes, mom’s deserve to be celebrated. But I’m a [...]

We will be picking up our new puppy this weekend! A 7 week old male boxer who we have named Jasper. The number one, over-whelming reaction when I tell people of our new puppy is shock, often followed-up by warnings. “Wow! Good luck!” with a hint of sarcasm“Oh, I could never get a puppy.”
“Do you [...]

I never talk about my father on here. I rarely talk about my father period. And, when I say my “father”, I am specifically talking about my biological father. There are a number of reasons why I refrain from talking about him. My parents separated and divorced in my early high school years. That was [...]

Wow, it has been a while since I posted on here. And, even though I’m posting today, I really don’t have much to say. Last week the girls and I were sick with the flu. I really have no idea if it was the seemingly popular Swine Flu or just the good ol’ flu, but [...]

I’m still here. Still alive. Just trying to recover from the girls and I all having the flu. Yeah, it wasn’t pretty. But I think we’re all pretty much back to being healthy and really, really, REALLY hoping that Tim doesn’t come down with it now!I’ll be back to posting again soon!

It is Friday. And it is beautiful outside — pushing 70 degrees with rumors that it may even hit the high 70s today! And here I sit, on the couch with my sick kid. Turns out that both of my girls are not feeling too great today. Zoe has diarhea and not much of an [...]
