I can’t believe it is November 1 and our family has to celebrate the holidays without Tiara. I have been dreading the holidays and now they are here. It is more than I can bare. Last Tuesday, would have been Tiara’s 17th birthday and the day was much harder to endure than I anticipated. I…
Lou
I’m fine, not really!
Of course I’ve missed you all but I am sorry to report the move was worse than I could have ever imagined. Lou and I have never been more physically and or emotionally challenged, as we are right now. We moved in to our new house a week and half ago, and I have just…
We are in escrow!
Once again I have left you in the dark for days at a time but I have lots of valid excuses. The first being that our house went into escrow last week and I have been focusing on getting everything done that needs to be done. Sign and read the offers, the counter offers, disclosure…
A whirl wind weekend
I am writing this instead of watching “everyone” walk down the red carpet. I figure I will see their dresses a hundred more times before the month is over so why not continue on my roll of activity. Since Thursday it feels like Lou and I have finished a bunch of stuff we had been…
I’ve been married half my life…
As I woke up this morning, I wanted to stay in bed and sleep but I didn’t. I got up, changed Tiara’s diaper and left her and Lou playing hide, while I went into the kitchen to make our lattes. Three shots of espresso, 2 for me, one for Lou. One cup of steamed coconut…
Do people really like this weather?
I hate to complain when people on the east coast just dealt with the “polar vortex” issue but really, I HATE the SANTA ANA WINDS. I have hated them my whole life, and nothing has changed. As a child I always remember them showing up during the first week of school. I would be excited…
Is a cold life threatening for Tiara?
This is the question Trinity asked me on Friday afternoon after I told her I had taken Tiara to the doctor’s earlier in the day because she was coming down with a cold. The way she phrased this question really struck me. How many 11 year old’s would use the phrase “life threatening”? It…
My guest post at Wego Health…..
I recently wrote a guest post for Wego Health entitled “Caregivers, Take Time For Yourself (Really, How I am I supposed to do that?)” I thought you might enjoy reading it since my post is going to be rather short today. I linked the article title, so just click on it and it will take…
The wife of a salesman…
Ohhh, I forgot what it was like being the wife of a commission only sales consultant. UGH! I now remember why I was so happy when he finally became a manager fourteen years ago. When you are a manager you make a percentage of everything sold, so even if the dealership has a slow month…
His last day and a new beginning…
Today is my hubby’s last day of selling Mercedes-Benz vehicles. For the past 18 years (with the exception of a 6 month stint at a BMW dealership) Lou has been selling Mercedes-Benz cars in some capacity. He has been a salesman, a trainer and a manager for fourteen of the 18 years . Most everyone…
