Holy crap and thank the Good Lord.  Three of the four are ASLEEP!  Right now!  At 3 in the afternoon!!!  YEEHAW!
No one got much sleep last night.  The kids wouldn’t GO to sleep and when they finally did, it was after 10 p.m.  Dan and I slept on the pull-out couch thinking the kids would [...]

I’m still here. So are all the children. And Dan. The packers showed up this morning, along with the washer/dryer-disconnect guy. I wonder if all the women give him the evil eye? I mean, how can I have had all my laundry done by 7 a.m.? Needless to say [...]

For the kids… Dan and I worked our asses off getting ready to move in the next few days. The kids, on the other hand, stayed in their sleepwear and watched TV all day.

Who, I wondered, would be sending me flowers? Were they actually for Maria - an early birthday present? But they were addressed to me. I didn’t have [...]

Michelle, Julie, Courtney, Theresa, Sarah, Shannon… These are my girlfriends. My oldest, best girlfriends. We went to high school together and Michelle and I went to college together. For a while after college, I think we may have all been in Dallas together at the some time but not for long.
Families, [...]

Desperate for something to do today, I took the kids to The Pottery Room with my Mom’s Club.
Yes. You read that right. My kids… The Pottery Room.
You know, one of those places with shitloads of breakable things different types of pottery pieces that you can paint?
My kids didn’t break anything, so I’d say [...]
