I was going to write a thanksgiving post last Thursday about all that I am grateful for, but it sounded just like I knew it would. I’m grateful for my family, my friends, the wonderful people I have met in the last three years, my health…but it wasn’t interesting, even to me. Blah, blah, blah. [...]

It was a rough morning around here, a 4 X and only 1 star morning…but I’m not going to write about that, because as much as we swing from good to bad and back again, sometimes within the same 30 seconds, there has been a lot of good in the last week. Instead of writing [...]

We avoided the hospital this Halloween – whew! Halloween started with the Halloween party Fall Festival at the Roc’s school on Friday. He missed it last year, and so I was excited (and a little nervous) to see how it would go this year. I sent in his costume, told him I would be coming [...]
