reading time: 2 minutes My Ka’lani is 12 today! How is that even possible?! I remember being pregnant with him like it was yesterday. I was stationed in Hawaii then, not a bad place to be pregnant! He was due on April 1st, an April Fool’s baby. Easter was on March 30th that year […]
reading time: 3 minutes Holy bus drama, Batman! I sent the youngest three out to their bus this morning, unaware that drama was about to ensue. In the midst of trying to tame Donovan’s wild hair (insane amounts of hair spray and a crazy ‘do for the play really screwed with it!) with the […]
reading time: 2 minutes My broken blog I woke up yesterday to a broken blog, and I have absolutely no clue how it happened. Somehow the “.php” files for most of my plugins were deleted off my server. I didn’t do it and I don’t have any idea how or why that could have […]
reading time: < 1 minute Feeling a little less out of sorts,… For the moment, I think I have gotten over my “f&%k my life” feeling. Getting a little blog love from Jana, Selina, and Jess made me feel better, too. Jana is psychologist and she didn’t immediately suggest that I be committed, so that […]

Congratulations, Kristin & Chris! I can’t wait to get my hands on my new little nephew! My new hero! The website Zootoo is sponsoring […]
reading time: < 1 minute Did you know,… 1. That the harp is the national symbol of Ireland, making it the only country in the world with a musical instrument as its symbol? 2. That over 34 million Americans have Irish ancestry, including this Irish lassie? 3. That, according to the Guiness Book of World […]
reading time: 3 minutes What the hell is it with teenagers? One minute they are laughing and HUMAN and the next they are obnoxious butt heads. Whoever says that teen girls are the worst clearly never lived with my kid. I know he is really busy lately, between normal school work, track practice, and […]
reading time: 2 minutes For the second day in a row, the walls have been shaking in my little apartment. And not in a good way! My upstairs neighbors have apparently forgotten that people live below them and that, crazy as it sounds, I MIGHT want to both actually be able to hear the […]
reading time: 2 minutes I think I must be an idiot. That probably won’t come as much of a surprise to my readers; it certainly doesn’t come as a surprise to my kids!! But if there is one thing I have learned in life, it is that it rarely pays to try to be […]
