Now it's Thursday
DAUGHTER 1: Adele read her first word "CAN." She is smart and sweet but damn can she ever push my buttons. Our days aren't filled with Ugly simply because she is so pleasant when being rotten. I love her but she tries me something fierce. I probably have no right to complain since her misbehavior is generally easy to resolve but when you get ( Read more... ) -
Kernel to Cancer
Yesterday one tonsil swelled so greatly that I nearly cried every time I swallowed. I was in such pain and after trying all the oral remedies we have in the house, I took a Prednisone, left over from an asthma attack, and spent some time letting Google diagnose me. Once we (me and Google) decided I had cancer, I called Bill and asked him what we ( Read more... ) -

Starting back simple

And okay, I admit that being in this space isn't entirely UNfulfilling. It *is* harder to stay on top of my life with kids but here are a few things that I've found to be occasionally helpful ( Read more... ) -
Has it been too long?
I once had a friend who told me he didn't write letters to me anymore because he had waited too long between stories to write. I want to return to this space, between naps and feedings and bouts of fitless (is this a word?) sleep, with whatever stories I can salvage. Even if no one reads, I owe it to myself and the safety of my children to write ( Read more... ) -

Elise receives a personal invitation to join us next Wednesday, if she doesn’t choose to put in an appearance sooner that is. My mother arrives today. And October seems to have arrived gently here in the valley. Aside from nausea that comes in sudden waves, all is well and we are ready ( Read more... ) -
