Wow. Nothing like having your therapist slam the door in your face. Last night I stayed up late to blog. After polishing the masterpiece that it was, I clicked on “publish.” Guess what? NOTHING. N-O-T-H-I-N-G. The program timed out and I LOST EVERYTHING. So, rather than relieving [...]

You missed me, didn’t you?  Come on.  Admit it.
I haven’t had much time to blog, as my parents were visiting and I was on ’round the clock protection detail.
Everyone survived and, if you can believe it, there were no major disasters.  We had a wonderful time, as is evident from some of the pictures you’ll [...]

Yesterday was a kick a** day. No other way to say it.

While The Little Boys napped and Maria and [...]

Yesterday was… chaotic. Okay, maybe chaotic isn’t quite the right word. How about psychotic inducing? Something along those lines.
The morning was good - I had the World’s Best Babysitter for three blissful hours. The middle of the day passed without incident (probably because The Little Boys were napping and Maria by [...]

…that “gonga” means “chimney” in Spanish? (Neither do any Spanish speakers.)
This afternoon while were were playing outside, Luke kept saying something that I just could not understand. So, I asked Maria what he was saying.

I know you are all just dying to know how Friday at the Y went. You’ve probably all been checking my blog every few minutes for an update. Right? Right?
Sorry to keep you all in suspense!
You can congratulate Luke next time you talk to him - he was a GOOD BOY!!! [...]

Sad: This darling little boy falling asleep IN THE MIDDLE OF EATING A CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE.
Sadder: Maria taking advantage of the situation and stealing the remaining cookie before the poor guy can wake up and defend himself.
Saddest: The reason for the chocolate chip cookies was to punish Luke the Duke.
How does one [...]
