Happy New Year!

Most people see January as the first month of a new year; rightly so I suppose since it is the new year after all. However, for me the new year traditions always come in September; maybe it’s the years of starting school in september and always being told about fresh starts with a new teacherContinue reading “Happy New Year!”

opened the door and light came in…

Took a pie to his face at the carnival yesterday Sometimes the answer is in the knowing.

How I hated those things. I wanted to be having fun, doing things I enjoy, spending time with friendsContinue reading “sometimes it takes a kiss”

Taken out in the final round

Cough, Sore throat, fever, chills, and every part of my body aches… not a great way to spend a beautiful day like today. My youngest, sick yet again with a cold, fever and whatever else is wrong with him. My oldest, bouncing off the walls. My husband, working. Ain’t motherhood grand sometimes? 🙂 I wasContinue reading “Taken out in the final round”
