I miss my sis.

I’ve hit a period of malaise and it’s lasted longer than I thought it would. April is the anniversary month of Josh’s diagnosis. It seems that I slow down every April. It was such a time...

It's been awhile, but I've been busy. At least I can cross one thing off the list: my bathroom shower project is finally finished. I think it's OK for a first try... APRIL FOOLS! The truth ...

Our pediatrician's office called today. The big corporate conglomerate HMO building including the Ped's waiting room is being remodelled. They're looking for some pictures for the new space. When...

For all enquiring minds: yes we are still married. Fortunately hair does grow back and with a little tapering, a little mascara, one can hardly tell the carnage that occurred last week. I must ...

OK – you’re going to see this coming as soon as I start to tell the story. I’ll begin by saying that I’ve tried to spin this numerous ways in my head and I can’t come up with anything ...

This is the post that has been holding me up for three weeks. First I had to go back seven years to find the picture of Josh. Next I had to go back two years to find the picture of Gracie. Fina...

Today was a good day. A holiday: Martin Luther King, Jr. day. To top it off, the sun was shining and temperatures were nearly 20 degrees. There were light snow flurries all day long with huge sno...

WHAT WAS I THINKING?!?!?!?!? I just heard a quote on the radio today. I think from F. Scott Fitzgerald: "You don’t take a trip, a trip takes you. " . I can relate. . Our upstairs bathr...

I’ve been away for a while. Things have been happening that would be complaints if I didn’t feel lucky to be dealing with all of it together as a family. I had great blogging plans. I want...

I confess I’m a bargain maniac. There’s an irresistible thrift shop in our neighborhood that Gracie and I scrounge regularly. The fact that all proceeds go to an excellent cause is the tip...

I have composed so many posts in my head and none of them have made it any further of late. Some time ago, I was tagged and now I’m so late in responding that I’ve no one left to tag myself. ...

I went to the symphony last night. It was a delightful, relaxing evening. Sitting on one side of me was a boy, probably about nine or ten. Next to him was a woman, probably his mother – maybe ...

For some reason I still don’t fully understand, (probably temporary insanity) I decided to potty train Gracie in the midst of the scabies adventure. Logically I suppose, I figured a few more l...

I don’t understand. I will never understand. I thought I would avoid it this time; after all they were all going in together. But still… Where do they go? How can they get away without me ...

No – nothing gross about this one – a little chocolate never hurt anyone This certainly doesn’t offend, what’s cuter then a kid who’s just learned how to empty a sippy cup? After yo...

I’d venture to say that all adoptive families are astounded at how “right” their adoptive children are for their families. During all the frustrations and delays that kept us from se...

This week marks a bittersweet milestone for us. I promised myself I wouldn’t try to figure out the date – it’s just a day. I vowed that to know it was coming was enough and I wouldn’t g...

It’s easy to focus on the things to worry about and I confess to doing a lot of that. But while I’ve been fretting the days away, Danny has been busy. How many of us would have the optimi...
