I write “free food” in quotations, because by some peoples standards it would not have been free because I did have to spend five dollars to make the costumes and my mom had to cut up a white shirt. I also do not know where Addie’s outfit has disappeared to- so I might be buying [...]

Well, June is over, I can’t believe it!! We had a busy June- Addie had gymnastics camp, we went to Disney for 8 days and spent a few days just hanging out at home. Addie enjoyed gymnastics camp. We had a good time at Disney World. It was very hot, the Monday we were there- [...]

We (my mom, sister, sister-in-law and me) went this past weekend to New York city for a long weekend trip. It was a great time. This was the first time that I flew since 9/11 and I had a bit of a panic attack in the plane station- the security guards were very nice though. [...]

I was driving out of my driveway yesterday when I noticed the trees are starting to bloom their little flowers. The daffodils have bloomed and I am going to have to cut my “weeds” soon in my yard- and I am so GLAD! I love spring time. I love the warm temperatures and being outside, [...]

My kids have grown up with three of my friends kids. We both have kids the same ages- 7,5 and 3- and they have hung out together constantly. There are five boys and my Addie-Belle – and they get along great. I get the pleasure of keeping them a little this week while their parents [...]

Today is kind of Tim’s birthday,
though my kids say that it is not!
He was born 33 years ago
between today and tomorrow. 
He has had 8 birthday’s

and many adults agree-
8 is his mental state so silly he can be.
He has accomplished much in those 33 years
and hopes to achieve [...]

After the week I have had- I thought that I would post some of the comments people have told me and what has gone through my head when I was told these things:
1. At least no one was hurt. (Very true- but my pride and self-confidence)
2. Well, at least you have rental insurance. (True, but we are [...]

This has been an extremely long day. It started off pretty good. I got laundry done, changed the sheets on the bed and went to work out by 9am. Then the fun started! I was pulling out of the YMCA when- boom, I ran right into someone. I didn’t even see him coming. Luckily, we [...]

I often heard that it takes a community to raise a child,
I often heard that it takes many parts to make a whole,
I often heard that a strand of three is not easily broken,
but I never realized how true they all were.
I often heard that a good friend is better than silver or gold,
I often [...]

Last Night the kids did really well, slept through the night unless I woke them up for medicine. I tried to give them both regular Tylenol but about 2 hours later they were complaining about their throats, so we went back to the Tylenol with codeine. Addie took a 3 hour nap today and Reed [...]
