Unwritten

It’s been a painful number of days; hard to write … My beloved dogs vanished from my yard; an oversight by my mother-in-law.  Truth be told, I couldn’t even look at her because I was so upset. I believe I discovered first hand how “seething” actually felt.  That was an emotional jolt I don’t wish Read More →

A White Christmas

Share

The snow-capped mountains in San Simon, Arizona are pretty.  The way the clouds wrapped around the peaks like a shiny ribbon, I was impressed.  So were the kids. Deric: “It looks like a picture!” Seeing snow was a pleasant surprise leading up to Christmas.  They don’t see it much in person. This holiday road trip Read More →

Well Excuse Me

Share

People never cease to amaze. And, I have to wonder sometimes how they were raised. Common courtesy, decency and basic etiquette. Hate to say, but  many people need a crash course these days. I’m ridiculously punctual.  I’ll get somewhere, minimum 20 minutes, early just to make sure I get the comfortable parking spot, the seat I want and still have Read More →

Birthday Blues

Baby boy turned 3 today. The weather was lousy and he’s been sick. I did not want to take him outside. Hoping he’ll feel better in time for his official party this weekend. But we couldn’t ignore the day. Big and bro and big sis wouldn’t have it. “Mom, but we bought balloons, remember?” So, Read More →

Kids do say the darndest things, don’t they? Martin and I were chatting in the kitchen.  Deric was doing a puzzle at the table.  Somehow, Condoleeza Rice came up in our conversation.  Deric decided to chime in. Deric: “Condoleeza Nice?” “No Papi. Condoleeza Rice.” Deric: “Condoleeza Rice?  (insert cynical look) I don’t even know that Read More →

When in Doubt, Look for Rocco

The kids got into a spat over what movie we could watch together.  The interests between a 9, 5 and 2 year old are going to differ, it’s the reality.  Bombarded with questions on who was going to win, I decided to play a game. I would hide.  They would find me.  First person to Read More →

Doodad Art

Share

I’ve had to channel my crafty side, and that required some organization on my part.  We recently turned an old dresser, taking up space in our garage, into supply central. It’s full of random stuff: paint, popsicle sticks, puzzle glue, card stock and other doodads  crammed in there.    It comes in handy, I’ll admit.  When Read More →
