The girls have been dressing up all week for Spirit Week at their school. They’ve had “comfy cozy” day where they got to go in their PJ’s, “Crazy Day” where anything goes, and “College Day” when most of the school wore either purple or red. Today seems to be the most exciting for the girls…it’s . . . → Read More: Like, totally grody fer sure!

Today is Shaun’s nine year work anniversary. This means that nine years and two days ago I tearfully hugged friends and family goodbye and stepped onto a plane at Lindbergh Field. After about three hours, we stepped off a plane at the SeaTac Airport and set off for a bold new adventure.

Shaun sent this to me…for reasons unknown. Isn’t he romantic?
I just assumed that he has found it on the internet or something, so I tried playing with the color. Frogs are supposed to be green and I just couldn’t find any green in this one. (It’s not like I know what I’m doing when I play with the . . . → Read More: Ribbit!

I was driving the girls home from martial arts using the back roads. I’d like to think it is faster as there’s rarely ever any traffic, but the speed limit is 25 mph so it probably isn’t. Mostly I just take that route because it’s pretty. Tonight the girls and I were chatting and I wasn’t . . . → Read More: Those Lights in the Rearview Mirror

Yesterday, KT came in to the room, took one look at me and asked it I was cold. I answered her that I was a bit chilled and wondered why she had asked. She implied that it might have something to do with the fact that I was wearing shoes…something that I do as little as . . . → Read More: I think I'm turning into my mother….

Last night we left the girls home alone for an hour or so while we went to the Open House at the school. When we got home, the first thing I saw was a pile of bathroom towels on the kitchen floor in front of the dishwasher. Apparently the girls had a bit of an adventure . . . → Read More: Adventures in Dishwashing

A few months ago I came across the 2,996 Project. One amazing man, a blogger had a vision to find more bloggers, each willing to write a tribute to each of the two thousand, nine hundred and ninety six victims of September 11, 2001. I am one of those bloggers.

When I picked the girls up from martial arts, I told them that I had gotten them a little present. They watched as I reached into my shopping bag and handed them their identical gifts. I was rather startled when they started to profusely thank me. I had been expecting something more along the lines of . . . → Read More: The Gifts

I know, I know…I was supposed to make an appointment to get my hair fixed after yesterday’s fiasco, but I simply didn’t have time for that. I had to be at the school all day today and meet a bunch of people for the first time. They say first impressions count the most, and I didn’t . . . → Read More: More Hairy Adventures

A couple weeks ago, I was looking at myself in the mirror and wondered out loud why my hair looked so boring. Shaun, being the ever helpful one, volunteered that the color was too drab. After I shot a few bolts of lightening at him that would have incinerated a lesser man, I realized that he . . . → Read More: Sometimes I do Dumb Things….
