My work week ended as most people’s do. Picked up a kid from school. Helped get my husband and daughter packed for a camping trip. Dinner with my other daughter and my love SB. You know – the usual. Ok, maybe that last one is not usual for most. It was funny – all of…

Year 2014 Retrospective
You know you’re a project manager when you read “retrospective” and think about a post-mortem meeting after a project goes live to talk about what worked, what didn’t, etc. Yeah, I’m not doing it like that – analyzing the year. Instead, I’ll look at it this way…. 2014 marked the start or restart of a…
My Surreal Life
“OMG – I totally LOVED the year HUMP featured this couple – and they went into the woods, he tied her up, and spun her around while suspended from a tree. It was AMAZING!” One of our two favorite bar staff members at a local brew pub we frequent. She and her cohort – a…
When Sleep Won’t Come
When sleep won’t come, I got up – and decided to try to empty some words from my brain and onto a page in hopes that it helps. So here I sit in a dark living room with a shot glass of vodka to sip as I type on the computer – and be circled…
That Religion Question
“How am I going to answer the religion question?” DJ had the questions for her application to a private Catholic high school for over a week – and this is the first time she asked the question I had been waiting for her to ask – how to answer the religion question. “Focus on the…

Weekend Recap
I had a dream last night where I thought “that would be great to blog about”. Of course, I forgot what it was. Then again, waking up in Daddy’s arms with him kissing my nose and call me his sleepy girl kinda made me forget even the dream. Though, I’m sure the fact my stomach…
They’re back….
They are home. After weeks away – San Diego Comicon, Disneyland, summer camps, trips to grandparents’ houses, and sailing in the San Juans – they are finally home. Home from all of the adventures. Home from travels. Home. And along with them came another person coming home – finally – Derek is now home. His…
Weekend Recap
She made it. Indigo made it through her first week of camp without issue. She has yet to stop talking about it. When I came down the hill, she ran to me, gave me a huge hug and started crying. I was startled by the reaction. My first response was “oh, honey, didn’t you have…
Normal
It’s funny how that words means different things to different people. For Indigo, it means not being a bed wetter at night. For Indigo, it meant being able to do the things her friends talked about without stressing and keeping herself awake all night worrying she would have an accident. For her, right now, it…
