So, we are training our puppy…and today we get an e-mail from our puppy’s teacher about a golden-doodle rescue, 18 month old girl needing adoption, name: Lucy.
What made her think we could take care of another dog, when our Abby girl is way more than we can handle I will never know, but the fact [...]

I hit a car today.
I wasn’t going fast, but still…
A little Hispanic man got out the car, he stared at his bumper, that was fine (thank GOD), then asked me if I was sleeping. In my defense the light had turned green and both cars on either side of me moved forward, I did too, [...]

my Matthew is my artist, he lives in a world all of his own filled with imagination and passion. He creates stories and songs and swirls through the house in a fierce battle as a jedi knight destroying evil in the universe. Whatever he is doing consumes him and it can be hard to get [...]
mental health day

When I was younger my mom would let me stay home from school and we called it a mental health day. It was usually after a really big project or test or game and it was a day to recoup and unwind. I got to sleep in, she usually took me out to breakfast, and [...]
8 years of married bliss

You know, I think I had this realization today about anniversaries…women do most of the wedding planning, anticipating, details of making that wedding day special, perfect, memorable; and then we expect every year that follows to have some similar quality except we expect our husbands to do it. Maybe it’s just me!

Is nothing sacred anymore?
I know that life gets busy and that things come up unexpectedly but call me old fashion, I like to celebrate special days on their special day. Today is my husbands birthday, it would have been nice to have breakfast together, or lunch, or coffee (if he drank coffee), something. Instead, when [...]

Four days ago, I was taking a peaceful moment on my back porch when a volcano of wood chips begins erupting by my digging Abby. Furiously she dug and dug until her head popped up with what looked like a big rock in her mouth, she then dashed with great speed up the hill. Quickly [...]
more alarm clock woes…

a word of advice:
don’t turn off, set back, or unplug your spouse’s alarm clock. Somehow, on Thursday night, my husband Chip thought that I must have made a mistake when setting my alarm clock, trying to be nice, he moved it back by an hour…not so helpful.
Trust that your spouses knows what they have to [...]

We have a rule in our house, one activity per child- oh, they can try as many things as they want, only one at a time. This is perhaps to manage the chaos I wrote of earlier, and also because I think it’s important for them to learn they they can’t do EVERYthing. So far [...]
