You see, tonight, as I was cleaning up dinner and picking up after the hurricane formerly known as my daughter, I put on "Be My Baby" by the Ronnettes, so that we could slow dance together. And as I held her, swaying back and forth, she grabbed my face and kissed me, right smack on the mouth. With her ...
Now this is my kind of shopping spree…
And on a related note, thank you Bubbie.
Logic(, logically.)
Baby: More! Mommy: No. Baby: More! Mommy: No! Baby: More! More! Mommy: No. No! Baby: Moooooorrree. Mommy: Ok. One more time. Because, really, how can you argue with someone who smells like Teddy Grahams and has your face and calls you "Mommy" (especially when what she wants "more" of is just to be swung around in the air by you, as you both laugh ...
Time travel.
Just the other day, it hit me that it was exactly two years ago this week that we found out that we were expecting. It blows my mind. Two years, it has been? How the hay did that happen? I can still remember exactly how I felt; exactly what the world looked like; exactly what I was wearing, feather earrings ...

It has certainly had it's moments of brightness and beauty, but the scarier moments have only served to heighten my gratitude for the loved ones around me. I am so so blessed to have the family that I have been born into. I treasure ...

Remember my bunnies? Yes. Well, saving them has now become my part time job. They have made a home in our back yard, and every time I let my dogs out, I have to hold my breath until I can be sure that there are no rabbits in sight. And then there are the times that I do spot a ...
When it rains…
The past few weeks have been trying. I have felt overwhelmed. And sometimes lonely. And sometimes scared. It has been hard. For reasons that I have written about on here and for other reasons that I have not.

It’s so hard to believe
that it was exactly 2 years ago, on this Sunday night, that we saw the bunnies dancing. Crazy, man. Just crazy.
