and baby makes 6!

My kids love the movie King Kong. The only problem with it, aside from half the cast being killed by giant insects and dinosaurs, is the part where the characters encounter the natives on Kong’s island. It is very creepy and scary.
So, in parental fashion, we fast forward through the native [...]

I love listening to good music. Be it anything from Pachabel to Green Day, if it inspires me or brings out emotion, I have it in my CD player.
Sometimes I listen to a song, and the words are so perfect, they fit my feelings to a tee. I wish so much that I [...]

Mayan moon was burnin’
We saw visions
Of the past returnin’
On the shore
The band was playin’
We all heard
What the moon was sayin’

It will be a nice, long, much needed break for us. The house has a sitter, the animals will not be lonely, and we are not looking back.
Internet access continues to dodge me at the beach, so [...]

I said yes to something today and it is going to change our lives somewhat. Some for the better, some for the worse.
I was offered an amazing job opportunity and after discussing it with Bill, we decided I should take it.
I will be working as an RN, full time, at a hospital [...]

Mia, as she pulled out the Swiffer from the closet: “Mommy, I want to clean!!!”
Knock yourself out, baby. Oh, and don’t forget behind the doors.

It’s alive.

Date night was great. Date night was fine. Date night was fulfilling and satisfying.
We saw the movie “RV” and folks, if you want to LYAO, go see it. We both laughed so hard we were crying.
Then we went on to Chili’s and had a beer at the bar. Bill was unusually [...]

I have a date with my husband in 30 minutes.
No children will be in our presence all day and evening.
How weird is that?
I wonder if we can survive without this for a day..

Okay, it is official. I miss them.
