We are all sick. Except Hal. And thank the stars for that.
The lack of energy makes me quite comfortable staying indoors all day week regardless of how beautiful the weather. Max has also acquired this preference. Yesterday, when we were outside to let the dog do his business, Max said he wanted to go back [...]

Today (Last Thursday) my goal is to get the kids, the house, and myself ready for our weekend getaway to St. Augustine, Florida. Hal takes care of himself in terms of packing what he needs.
Its not just packing our things that goes into The Day Before We Leave. There is also the laundry and cleaning [...]
I almost got my ass kicked at church.

Friday was Max’s “Spring Program,” at his preschool. His preschool keeps the same days as an elementary school which means school is out for summer break in about two weeks. Oh my gawd, this also means that I’m gonna have to start getting creative by the beginning of next month to keep my son active [...]
We all have our own ways…

Morning…
My friend, Katy, is coming over today with her two children who are roughly the same age as my two kids. It occurred to me this morning that having company is on the top of my list of motivators to clean the house. Its not that I fear judgment from my guests, its that I [...]

I think we may have avoided the poop collection party. Max went to school today and hasn’t had a diarrhea or vomit incident all day. Yay! As of yesterday, Bella’s food intake has been light so its possible she may have what-ever it was Max just got over. Oh, the joy.
Since Bella has been taking [...]
I get to play with poop!

I took Max to his pediatrician this morning for a second opinion on what is going on – mine being the first, which is that he has a parasite from that gum he found outside. Dr. Blanco agreed and also suggested it may be a virus that just needs to run its course. I [...]

Now that I’m “connected,” anytime, anywhere, I am rather disconnected from my kids. I suspect the novelty of always having access to a space to write and read will grow weak and I’ll start playing with my children again. I hope.
Meanwhile, Max is working on his puzzle skills.
Bella is getting the hint, too, that she [...]
Out with friends and eye candy.

Saturday night I went out with friends to an art gallery then hung out at a local café. The art gallery threw me off, at first, causing me to feel like a fish out of water. Seeing people put together so nicely, having conversations with other adults that didn’t center around motherhood and holding little [...]
Old and new and its all good.

Okay, after last night (which was a huge success by the way!) my secret fantasy of being an event organizer is SHOT. TO. HELL. Oh dear sweet Jesus, talk about pressure and stress. My body started to ache and Arthritis was showing up in new places. It was a reminder of how [...]
Work, work, work, oh no!

I’m getting ready to volunteer my time at an event that I believe in. Event organizing is actually a fantasy job of mine. I love being behind the scenes orchestrating the gathering of like minds. I’ve done it before in great capacity, as the force that made it happen, and loved the [...]
