Seriously

Last November I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s disease.  With the medication I have been taking I am feeling much more “normal”.  Today was my 3 month check up.  While I was there I mentioned to the doctor a strange symptom I have.  When I am cold my fingers will suddenly go numb and turn white..like… Read More Seriously

Wicked

A few weeks ago DaddyZabba and I were able to go to San Francisco for the weekend.  It had been a very long time since we had had a date night, let alone some time away.  We had a great time. The highlight of the trip was going to see Wicked.  I had wanted to… Read More Wicked

Comfort

BigZabba had a bit of a sad afternoon at school.  She lost her favorite ring.  She was a bit distraught after school.  Nothing is better for the case of the blues, than ice cream…and ice cream with your best bud is even better.

The Invisible Woman

As mothers, we are building great cathedrals. We cannot be seen if we’re doing it right. And one day, it is very possible that the world will marvel, not only at what we have built, but at the beauty that has been added to the world by the sacrifices of invisible women. –Nicole Johnson

Plans

For the last several months BigZabba has been taking piano lessons.  She has enjoyed learning something new, but piano is not something that she loves (at least not at this point).  Getting her to practice has been a bit of a challenge.  After many conversations we gave her one month to show us that piano… Read More Plans

We need to know some prices over here.  My wife is interested in a pendant.  We need you to show us something in our price range.

Conviction

While stopped at the gas station yesterday a woman approached me.  She was talking so quickly that at first I thought she was asking directions.  I started asking her some questions about where she needed to go and then I realized she was asking for money for gas.  She kept saying over and over again… Read More Conviction

hookey

Today we played hookey. In all honesty, this morning was tough for us.  Lots of arguing, disobeying, complaining…it was enough to drive even the most patient mother crazy.  During a particularly tense moment, Mommy had to give herself a time out.  During that time out I decided that we needed to take a break from… Read More hookey
