This weekend was my hubs birthday. The big idea person in me had planned a getaway to the Opus hotel overnight for us….the dream of a child free night danced in our head. Then reality slipped in. Sneaky sneaky reality. The kids had been….em ….difficult, to put it nicely. By Friday we were feeling beaten […]

Milestones
So on Saturday, I turn 40. Yes..one of those MILESTONE birthdays. I will not get maudling or freaked about being 40…it is just a number. It is just a day. I am more boggled that I am 40. I remember being 20 and having NO concept of what 40 would be like..or what […]
Tooooo Muuuuuch Girlie Stuuuuuf!!
Good Grief this has been a girly day. Caitlyn…our own entitlement princess turned 5 today. She has been a force of nature since the day she was born. The comparisons with this next one will be endless entertainment for years to come, I am sure. She is tough as nails. NOTHING bothers her except being […]
Happy Birthday Dear One
My boy is seven today. I can’t believe it. That sounds SO grown up. How can I recall every moment of his delivery with such detail and it be seven years ago!? We have been amazed and enchanted by him since the day he was born. His intensity and deepness showed […]
Seriously….what the frack is my life????

My Girl is Four!
Four years ago today, by this time, I was probably sitting in my hospital room chatting on the phone while Caity snoozled in her little bassinet. Her birth was remarkable in how FAST it was and how great I felt afterwards…compared to the WEEKS of recovery from Adam. She came out screaming and angry. She […]
A Birthday
PARTY is this Sunday…but yesterday was a birthday mixed in with routine of a school day. The day before, we diligently popped and bagged 20 bags for his classmates. He enjoyed it. He likes us to hide his gifts…..It was a special time while Caity was still at preschool. And more gifts…..though the Nintendo has […]
Cue the Sappy Music
My first born. My son. He turns six tomorrow. (WTF?) Where has the time gone… What is that song? “Where are you going my little one?” Cue the tears. Six. Tall. Gangly. Happy. Eccentric. Loving. So loving. I cannot imagine ever taking for granted or getting tired of his hugs and kisses. I cannot ever […]
