Several months ago Cuyler announced that he was going to play soccer this summer. I told him that would be fun, thinking he would move off of that idea after a few days. He's not a sporty kid. Nor is he much of a team player - he's more of a solitary guy. In fact, he's never played a sport - team or … [Read more...]
FotoFriday – Farewell Fangs
This is yet another post about loose teeth and my total aversion to them and how seeing them makes me feel barfy and gross. This time it's not one of the kids. He spent most of yesterday with that tooth hanging out the side of his mouth. Blech... On the bright side, those pin sharp puppy canines … [Read more...]
Do you go all the way?
Or just halfway? I had put it off most of the weekend. Trying on my shorts, that is. It was a hot weekend and I always hate this weekend. The start of shorts season. It's come much later this year but I knew I had to bite the bullet and put some shorts on. But before I could, there was one … [Read more...]

This is my "office" This is where I commute 7 minutes to everyday. I could stand out here all day taking in the crabapple blooms and the lavender fragrance. It's very soul soothing. … [Read more...]
Wiggled Out
I wrote this post almost 2 years ago about me taking Cuyler to see The Wiggles. I was thrilled that I was able to take him and and that he enjoyed as much as he did. It was a great day.

I found this on my lap the other day at work and it made me miss the tiny hand prints that used to smudge my windows and furniture. I still have hand and fingerprints … [Read more...]
FotoFriday – signs of summer
The smell of sunscreen, fresh cut grass and back yard barbecues. The first soccer practice of the season. and this song playing in my head all day... Summer's comin! … [Read more...]
Enough
Every single day I wonder: "Have I done enough for him?" "Am I doing enough for him?" "Did I do enough today?" "Do we have enough money for this? "Is my effort and energy enough?" And every single day I think the answer is no. I know that I can only do what I can do but I always go to … [Read more...]
FotoFriday – Finally
It finally felt like a real spring day. It was a P.D.Day and the perfect day for a juice stand. They made $5.60 each. Welcome, Spring. We've been waiting for you. … [Read more...]
Just say no. Because I’ll pay you.
Cam came home from school last week and asked me the following question: "When I turn 18, how much will you pay me if I don't do drugs or alcohol?" My response was a swift "I will pay you nothing. That's the dumbest thing I've heard. You want me to pay you for not doing stuff your NOT supposed … [Read more...]
