Tuesday morning I woke up earlier than I wanted because I heard Lou moving around in the kitchen. He squeaked in the door the night before just as I was falling asleep so I wanted to spend some time with him before he left for work. I walked into the kitchen to start the coffee…

Rocket ship cake….
So here is the picture of my nephew’s red and blue rocket ship cake. He gave me explicit instructions as to the colors, flavors and theme and this is what I came up with. Apparently it was really good because there was only 13 people at the party and the whole cake was gone before…
Where the heck is the new wheelchair?
Ok, I am losing it without a wheelchair for Tiara because I can’t exercise. As you know most mornings we walk or rather she sits in her wheelchair listening to music and I push her. Either way she gets fresh air and I get a serious workout. As you probably read last week, the wheel…
Not much to write about, except this….
I was going to skip my post today because I just wasn’t feeling inspired to write about anything. I thought about telling you how Trinity and I went to the beach by ourselves on Wednesday afternoon only to be greeted by freezing water and cold winds. I had previously promised a big swimming adventure and…
The wheel fell off!
Tuesday morning Trinity, Tiara and I made a Costco run. I have been able to avoid Costco for months but since we started this new health program we go through so much meat, poultry and cheese it is worth the hassle of dragging all the kids with me because we save so much money. Since…
An almost Wordless Wednesday …..
I have never done a Wordless Wednesday post before, so I am giving it a try. It appears I have already failed since I can’t help but write a little bit. Here is what our day looked like on Monday. Last but not least, we added a…
Two cavities and now another visit to the hospital…
Last Thursday I took Tiara for her regular teeth cleaning only to learn she had developed 2 cavities. Both in the very back of her bottom teeth, one of each side. You may not think this is such a big deal, but it is a huge deal! The last time Tiara had a cavity was…
Wow, what a weekend!
It is Sunday morning at 8:15 am and I just woke up, made my coffee and sat down to the computer. Everyone in my house is still asleep!!!! I am pretty sure in my 20 years of being a mother to early risers I have never experienced a moment like this. I can’t remember the…
The fair and my palm reading
Thursday morning I woke up at 4am again and couldn’t get back to sleep. So once again I got up and started getting stuff done. Mostly preparing all our food for the day, which takes more time than I could have ever anticipated but it seems to be working and helping so I am really…
They pulled out of escrow…
Tuesday night I was sitting on the couch watching TV, drinking my wine when I received a text from Patrick, our real estate agent at 10:00 p.m. saying “If you’re awake call me.” I instantly knew it was bad news and called him within seconds. We had been waiting on a certain issue which I…
