Terms of Endearment
There is a reason why I refer to Olivia as “sweet pea” and Blake as “naughty.” One delights in behaving sweetly and could exist on kisses and hugs alone. The other one thrives on the adrenaline rush... - read more

How the gall bladder humbles a grown woman
A few Saturdays ago, I was asking Jesus to take me home or stop the pain. While I used to think this described my experience with Calculus in college, this actually was me on my knees writhing in pain in a... - read more

Lesson of the Year: Give Yourself Some Time
Looking back on the last year, I think it's safe for me to say I was depressed. Not the can't-get-out-of-bed kind of depressed, but the gained-40lbs.-and-don't-have-anything-positive-to-say kind of depressed... - read more

Silly Bands, Purple Bracelets, Leukemia and Lots of Inspiration!

"Hoarders" Ain't Got Nothin' on Me

Old School: Mommy goes back to college
Going to grad school has been an eye-opening experience thus far. And I’ve only had two classes, both of which focused on the syllabus and getting-to-know-you exercises. It’s not my classes or... - read more

How the gall bladder humbles a grown woman - 233 views
A few Saturdays ago, I was asking Jesus to take me home or stop the pain. While I used to think this described my experience with Calculus in college, this actually was me on my knees writhing in pain in a gall bladder attack (I found out what it was later). I had visions of the first “Alien” movie. I won’t go into serious detail. Let’s just say that you can’t... - read more

Rosie’s standing in the hallway with her hand outstretched. She’s giving me the “Come on, you know what I want” look. And, yes, I have to confess I do. She wants the silly bands she handed me in the shoe store. The ones I handed back to her on what I thought was the way out of the store. Right now, they’re probably sitting on a shelf right next to the Converse All-Stars that she... - read more

Old School: Mommy goes back to college - 299 views
Going to grad school has been an eye-opening experience thus far. And I’ve only had two classes, both of which focused on the syllabus and getting-to-know-you exercises. It’s not my classes or even my particular classmates who have me feeling off-kilter. It’s the whole college culture. It’s changed mightily since I graduated MU in 1991. Back then, people wore... - read more

Once upon a time in a Kingdom once very cluttered , you happen upon a red-letter day. A day where you need to say a little prayer.

Then she's tossing into the hallway her white & blue-trimmed musical Cinderella carriage. The one for her petite plastic Disney... - read more

My little man turns two this week. Wow… time really does move as fast as they say it does. I remember when the pregnancy strip showed two pink lines and our adventure began. I have written before about my leeriness to give Niko the MMR shot. I know it sound silly, but it still does worry me. I know there have been no official finding between MMR and Autism (the old findings were thrown... - read more

I think I’m a pretty cool mom. (OK, not really, but just for the purpose of this blog, let’s say I am.) And I know my husband is cool. I mean he can bring down the house in video games and rescue any bug or insect before the swatter whacks him. Heck, even our four-year-old could travel comedy clubs with his shtick of fingers up the nose and talk of bodily functions. So of course oldest, smack... - read more

A Lame Poem - 251 views
Twas the day before blogging, my mind felt numb, No idea, not a story, my thoughts had gone dumb. The kids? They’d been ornery, why no tale could I spin? But each incident I nixed, turned down once and again. I felt under the weather, my throat covered with spots, Nose stuffed up and runny, ears plagued with loud pops. There were things to be done, and places to go, But my blog must be written, I hoped it... - read more

Do not laugh at me. Please? Don’t make comments welcoming me to the 2000’s…or asking me what took me so long. Pretty, please? And for the love of Mr Clean Magic Erasers, please refrain from using any phrase with the words “ Old” “ Dog” “New” or “Tricks”. A couple of weeks ago we made a leap. We upgraded our cell phones. Gone were the basic... - read more

Woo hoo! My first garage sale - 427 views
Last weekend I had my first ever garage sale. Honestly, before this, I had never even been to a garage sale. I was a bit nervous and had no idea what to expect. Usually, I gather all my unwanted things and donate them to thrift stores, churches or organizations such as Big Brothers Big Sisters of KC. That always seemed like the best thing to do with the least amount of stress/hassle. This time though, I wanted to... - read more

Home school or playing hooky? - 543 views
Our nearly-six-year-old started school this week, sort of. We all had visions of the walk to the neighborhood elementary and lunch boxes and new supplies. But instead we’ve decided to keep her at home. Some call it home school – Lyda calls it “Road School.” Somehow that sounds a bit cooler. Our situation is unique. We tour as a family for several months of the year, and we’d love to be... - read more
