Shortly before the crack of dawn KT and I climbed out of bed, pulled on our clothes and grabbed her packed bag of belongings. KT had said her goodbyes the night before and in order to avoid another long teary scene we quietly crept out of the house. We sat in a comfortable silence as we . . . → Read More: New Adventures These last few weeks seem to have been a non-stop frenzy of shopping, stocking up and getting everything KT needs gathered up for college. In between all of this we’ve had to snatch whatever time she had leftover from hanging out with her friends just to savor our girl. We haven’t much time left with the . . . → Read More: Fluttering Those Wings KT had been searching for vegan hiking boots for a few months. Little did we know that finding a sturdy leather-free boot would become such an odyssey. In desperation, she finally gave up and searched for a pair online. (Interestingly, she seems to share some of her mother’s reluctance to buy things over the internet. It’s . . . → Read More: The Unexpected Package Everybody knows that when you go on vacation, you aren’t supposed to get sick. Well, almost everyone knows that. It seems that Shaun didn’t get the message. Late yesterday afternoon, he started feeling a little under the weather. He thought that maybe his allergies were acting up as we had been doing a lot of driving . . . → Read More: The Basic Necessities It’s been a quiet evening. Our KT arrived home safely from her camping trip (with nary a bear sighting) smelly, tired and with lots of stories to share. After a long, hot shower for KT, and dinner and story telling for all of us, the girls went off by themselves for a bit. It wasn’t too long . . . → Read More: Kids Today My oldest daughter left the house shortly after the Crack of Dawn this morning to go on a seven mile hike with a couple of her friends. The hike itself, while a bit challenging, doesn’t bother me. I know KT can handle that with no problems. The part that sets my Frantic Mama Meter going is . . . → Read More: The Seven Mile Hike We just got back from KT’s graduation ceremony a little while ago. I’m wet, cold, tired and my feet hurt…I figured that was a great reason to blow off blogging tonight. Yet…I don’t seem to be able to do it. The guilt of it all! Instead of writing about the graduation (which was really fun!) I . . . → Read More: The Sushi Flower This afternoon, I needed to make a quick stop at Costco. I usually go by myself, but today I drug my kids along with me. For some odd reason, my girls thought that the oversized shopping carts would be perfect for them to climb into. I just laughed, then started pushing them around. (They are so . . . → Read More: Just When You Think They Are All Grown Up Tonight was KT’s Senior Award Ceremony. I’d like to say that it was a wonderful, uplifting experience to be able to celebrate all the wonderful things these kids have accomplished, but, frankly…they are all awesome kids. Nearly everyone was celebrated for something, and in a class of 400 seniors…that adds up to over two hours! Tomorrow, . . . → Read More: My Brain Is Numb On Saturday I received a message from Peggy letting me know that her firewall was warning her of a threat on my website. I (and by “I”, I mean my in-house tech support, Shaun) immediately looked into it and found that I had some nasty malware taking over the site. In other words, I’d been hacked! . . . → Read More: Back and Running!  |
