9:00 am – California Adventures awaits We traveled 7 hours and over 300 miles to take a picture in front of the Golden Gate Bridge. Skye’s favorite ride. Interestingly, the Haunted Mansion frightens her. Gettin’ buggy with it. I apologize. At this point, we’d only been in line 10 minutes. Giant talkin’ Mr. Potato Head. [...]

1. A cup of tea and crumpets is all it takes for the really bad fake English accent to come out, Dearie! 2. Chaos makes a place feel like home, well MY home anyway . 3. Everything has its beauty it’s just harder to see in some things. 4. Doesn’t everyone love the taste of [...]
Coping with Grief

While in the midst of tragedy, I feel guilty laughing. Or smiling. Or sharing silly pictures of our trip to Disneyland. And yet, isn’t that what those who have passed would want us to do? To not just go on living, but enjoy and appreciate the life we have left? I’ve been through this before. [...]
Unexpected

I found out this morning that a very close childhood friend died last night. I lost touch with her years ago. I last saw her just after high school graduation. I’d been meaning to find her. It was something I was going to get around to. Her name would come to me when something would [...]

In just a few hours, the littles and I (along with my mom) are heading out for the Happiest Place on Earth. I’ll post updates as I can, but I have a feeling I’ll be pretty wiped out at the end of each day. I’ll do a big one when we get back Saturday night. [...]
Insomnia, the early early early edition
Posted in health on February 16, 2010 | 2 Comments »
I suffer from insomnia. Have for as long as I can remember. It’s not a problem every night, just enough to be annoying. I usually take an Advil pm sort of as a pre-emptive strike. Usually that’s enough to do the trick. However, last night it proved to be more stubborn than I am – [...]

We all may have gone a bit overboard this Valentine’s Day. I admit I started it. I got up extra early and made the kids a big Valentine’s Day breakfast (I felt a little guilty because I was going out to breakfast with my mom and sister AND I had to work today.) First off, [...]
Saturday Six

What’s the one thing that really annoys you? People who talk on their cellphone while driving. It’s so dangerous, not to mention totally ILLEGAL! I’m not naming any names…. Mrs. Governator… If it was the end of the world what be the last thing you would try to do? Brendan Fraser… oh, you asked “what” [...]

1. Pickles should be bread and butter-style, or dills. Definitely not sweet. Ewwww!! 2. Since school is now out for the next week, all the kids are at home. 3. The snow is something I do NOT do! I did my time in Utah years ago. I’m DONE! I have now just guaranteed that I [...]
