  • Gloriously good news, a birthday & the Love/Loathe list…

    So last night I try to call Alaska Kim and Danielle, to thank them for thinking of me and wishing me happy birthday and to chat. I get Kim first and we talk for a bit and then I comment that Danielle was supposed to call me back and she hadn't yet and that I…

  • Motivation crash…

    The day after my birthday is always somewhat of a let down for us because that's truly when the holiday season is over. With my birthday being so close to New Year's, it makes the holiday season last a few more days for us and so the day after my birthday is really when it…

  • It’s still my birthday!!!!

    I had such an awesome day. We actually didn't do anything major….just hung out at home and enjoyed the day together. Watched football and then we did cake and ice cream at night.Jaime, Kayla and Ben made me a little cake with her easy bake oven which was so adorable and actually pretty good. Then…

  • Dah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah/ Today is my birthday!!!!

    And it's starting out fantastic! We went out last night for my birthday and it was an absolute blast. It was me, Zak, Steve, Shelly, my sister and Rick…Bob came for a little while and James came for a bit too. James had to go and it was a bummer because he just missed Dave…

  • for this I am grateful…

    I just finished my post about Ben. And then I saw this… Heartbreaking… Now matter how awful Ben can act, I am so lucky to have him. So utterly lucky that my children are healthy and happy and when you see a tragedy like this…any parent losing a child, it just makes you say a…

  • About Ben.

    As mostly everyone knows….Ben is a tough kid to be a parent of. He has been difficult since the day he came out of the womb. About the only thing easy with Ben was his entrance into the world. 2.5 hours from start to finish. There are things Zak and I have come to accept…

  • it’s the lists, stupid.

    Oh. My. God. Vox ate my post. That is so annoying….whatever. Let's try this again….. For months now I have been feeling unfocused, unorganized and just unsettled.  I feel like I am constantly running around like a chicken with my head cut off and getting absolutely nothing accomplished. I say I am "busy", I am…

  • New Year….

    New Year's is big for me because my birthday is right after it and I do the reflecting on the year that everyone else does on New Year's…but I think I do it double because my birthday is right there too. My mother has always told me that I'm lucky that my birthday is so…

  • Love / Loathe

    Loathe sleep….total waste of time The traffic through Boston on 93. Freakin' scary! Being afraid of the traffic. Alaska turned me into a complete wussy when it comes to traffic. I swear I need a valium going through there. My almost empty liquor cabinet Regular season football is over. Patriots didn't make the playoffs. sleeping…

  • A holiday behind.

    So I finally have uploaded some pics from Thanksgiving…..I will get the Christmas ones up as soon as my cousin gets them to me. We actually got some really good ones while we were visiting the Cape over the weekend and I can't wait to get them! Our visit down there was awesome, as always.…
