It’s 7am on December 31, 2012 and once again I find myself sitting in the ICU at CHOC watching Tiara sleep. In my last post I mentioned everyone was getting sick so I was taking a mini vacation from blogging because I sensed I was going to be spending most of my time taking care…

My Top 15 Blog posts for the year…
Because I have decided to take a small vacation until January 1, I thought it would be fun to feature my 15 most visited posts from this year. Truth be told, Trinity got sick on Christmas, and is even sicker today. Bailey had a bad night and we had to rush him to the…
Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all my readers. I would love to wish you all a peaceful, wonderful and hectic free Christmas but if you have kids and a family I doubt any of these things will happen. Most likely all the Moms and Dads are exhausted from staying up late to assembly…
Memorable Monday: Has anyone ever asked you to join a harem?
As crazy and unreal as this story seems, it is 100% truthful, so get ready to be in disbelief. January 1990 As I have mentioned before I studied in Paris with my best friend, Laura, while our other best friend Mara studied in Spain during the second part of our junior year in college. …
Are you ready for Christmas yet?
Well, for the first time in lots of years, I am ready for Christmas early! I have bought and wrapped all the gifts (even the Santa gifts, I normally organize and wrap at 10pm on Christmas Eve). Sent out my cards, while keeping my addresses updated on the computer each time a new address…
Does a piercing for Christmas bring joy? NO
I definitely know there are worse things in life than an ugly piercing so I am not going to get really riled up over this one, BUT REALLY? Why ruin a perfectly beautiful, small dainty ear with this ugly steel rod? I just so don’t get it. I guess you know by now this is…
Fancy Fudge and Magic Cookie Bars
Here is the fudge recipe I make every year at Christmas time. The recipe I have given you is pretty much the same as the one on the back of the Marshmallow creme jar but I have changed it a smidgen. I only ever make fudge with the jet-Puffed Marshmallow creme because it is the…
And now 2nd degree burns…
Saturday night was Lou’s work party and I spent the day getting everything in the house perfect and my outfit ready since I was going to be spending the night in Ontario. Whenever I leave the house overnight I am rather neurotic about making sure all laundry is done, everything is in it’s place and…
Memorable Monday series: Not good news…
Because we had such a memorable Friday, with so many ups and downs I can’t bring myself to write about an old memory because my brain is whirling with all that is going on in the present. Friday was the day Trinity was having some friends over for her annual Gingerbread house decorating and it…
This is what crazy looks like!
Last weekend was rather long and by Sunday night I was really whacked out. Tabitha and Trinity were supposed to be making dinner, their one official chore each week and it wasn’t getting done. Tabitha was asleep on the couch at 5:00p.m. after a long Saturday night out and Trinity was playing with her Itouch. …
