It has been a while since my last post (yes dear and thank you for the prompt) and as I was awake this morning I have decided to update. But before I do let me apologize for my laziness (or more accurately, my tiredness). Anyone who says that you get used to working at night has lied […]

If you haven’t been keeping track of my husbands blog you should because he is the funniest and most informative person I know. Now, Daniel if you are reading this don’t let it go to your head. I know you have an award for it but you don’t have to flaunt it every time I […]
Though I have repeatedly told my kids that there is no such thing as luck, my youngest daughter will still occasionally either make or give me something to take with me “for luck.” The current item, which I have carried with me now for two winters, is a buckeye. I used to wear a bead […]
