Beginning Previous She looked at her daughter laying in the bed with the slightly scratchy white sheets. She saw the short gray hair and the wrinkled face, but she also saw past that. She saw the face of a nine year old with a bob cut and straight bangs above the eyebrows. She saw the face of her sick little girl, she felt the fear of losing her, and the.. Read More

(clickin?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢ the logo may take you to more haikus) is it considered potty training when Alex pees ON the potty?
It was interesting to look around the house to see what was “home” here. It’s so different from any other house I’ve had. It’s far from anyone we know. There’s a husband and a baby. When we moved in, we’d lived in a 3 room apartment for a month and realized we didn’t need most of the stuff we had packed away. We spent the first weekend in the new.. Read More
We’re going to have to upsize the carseat soon. Which sucks, because I’m still not over the trauma of installing the first one. We put the car seat bases in the vehicles at about Week 34. Not because we thought we would need them in the next few days, just because we were out of decent storage space in the house for 2 bases, a carseat and a stroller. Might.. Read More
Beginning Previous It was another morning in the gray weathered house. The kitchen was cold and empty, but there was anxious activity in the back of the house that could be heard. The windows were being wiped down, a bed was being prepared. The best quilt was being laid on the bed. Blue and white quilted butterflies decorated the double bed sized quilt. Gently patterned flowers in blue and purple.. Read More

I found them. They look like this: and this … and this! (all photos nabbed from sarcasticmom.com because I’m a dumbass and left my USB cord at home – go tell her hi and ask her about the dinner that was broken hearted after we were done with it.) (there’s another TDY in April … hoos’yer mommy road trip LC?)
Dudes. I’ve been warned about what happens when husbands leave town for work … specifically TDY. Mary Alice gave the heads up on that months ago. I knew how right she was when Scout went out of town last week overnight and I managed to get the RSV Plague of 2008 and storms tried to send us all off to Oz (not the prison). This did not bode well for.. Read More
Beginning Previous Belle slowly moved a low padded stool over to where here mother sat. She carefully lowered herself to the stool, and lay her gray head on her mother’s knee. At a time like this, no matter how old you were, you were always your mother’s child. Ellen looked at the head resting on her. She thought of that hair when it was gray and faded, when it was..
