This Is where it starts

Nathan’s end of the year program is this weekend. Im not sure what exactly I expected it to be like once we delved into the school years, but Im pretty sure I thought the curve wouldn’t be quite this steep. The kids at Nathan’s school range from 2-6, the majority being 3 and 4. In [...]

Not Quite 16

This morning Nathan spillled his piggy bank out and was carrying his change around. I told him what our plan for the day was going to be, “first, we’re going to go get coffee and then we have to go to mom’s work. Where do you think we should get coffee today?”
Nathan then tells me, [...]


Its Not Exactly How I Envisioned my Birthday Ending

**Update: False alarm. No worms. Made for a good story though.**
(Alternative Title: Katie, help.)
Well, I’m not real sure where I should start….should I start with a little background on my germophobia or should I start with how my birthday has gone? Because the end result is still the same: PC is on his way to [...]

Going to the park today:

N: When [...]


The Straw That Broke The Camels Back

Nathan had a rough afternoon/evening. It was started by his two neighborhood pals departing for gymnastics and why couldn’t he goooooo? From there every little thing that didn’t go his way was a huge trauma.
After dinner I went upstairs to bathe Kiki and Nathan was going to the bathroom downstairs. I heard some discussing, Nathan [...]


I Thought It was Only Supposed to be 20 Questions

11th February 2009 | 1 Comment

This morning we had a tentative date to go see some Raptors. We ran some errands and decided to make a loop around the Futenma flight line to kill some time. Normally car rides are sort of relaxing because Mackenzie will sleep, Nathan will just watch out the window and I can just sort of [...]


I’ve Given Into All That is Unholy

I joined Facebook. Actually, it appears I “joined” (and I use that term loosely because by joined I mean I signed up once and never went back) in 2006. A few weeks ago I got an email from my neighbor adding me as a friend . Then Stephanie went and joined, then my one friend [...]


Believe In Yourself

This is how the conversation went. I should preface it with the fact that Nathan got his first pair of scissors about 2 months ago and at first was only allowed to use them supervised. Once I felt that he wasn’t going to use them to cut his fingers off I left him to his [...]
