Countdown

Five days!  Only FIVE days until our little town gets a Super Center Wal-Mart!  I’m so excited I can hardly stand it.  People have actually been heard saying “this could be life changing”.  I’m afraid they might be right.  You just don’t realize how convenient it is to be only a few blocks from a [...]

Pregnant?

Mike:  “Do I need to read your blog?”
Me:  “It would be nice.  Yes! Why? Why are you asking?”
Mike:  Funny, hesitating look.  “Last night I had a dream that you said you were pregnant on your blog and that I would know that if I had read it.”
Me:  Almost speechless.  Actually nauseated.  “No! And, I would [...]

Somebody Please Help Me!

There is too much cuteness in the world!  Every day it seems I stumble upon yet another incredibly talented artist or a site offering a collection of them (i could peruse etsy.com for hours).  Of course, most of this is brought on by my own curiosity of who’s doing what and ideas of what products we should be offering [...]

If the Shoe Fits!

Lilly’s got a new obsession.  Shoes!  Or “shss”, in Lilly language.  I promise I had nothing to do with this.  Oh, except for buying them, but that’s it.

Late! For a Very Important Date!

Recently, Zach has been obsessed with being late.  Although it rarely happens, because I know how traumatic it is, he still worries about it.  (Just for the record we have only been late to school twice and that was when we had no electricity and I was about to pull my hair out.  You’d think I [...]

Did ya vote?

I did!  Yeah, me for finding the voting place this time.  It’s quite an accomplishment.
You see the last voting opportunity, we had just moved to Chandler.  Mike told me that our polling place was in Agra.   He tends to get a little grumpy when I can’t understand country directions.  For someone that is directionally challenged already, I usually [...]

Annoying

Lilly has started waking up throughout the night again.  Short little bursts of crying and then she’s back asleep (most nights anyway!).  Last night she had been awake for a few minutes and Zach comes tip toeing into our room.  He taps me on the shoulder and says “Mom, Lilly’s crying!”.  Really?!  I explained that she’ll go [...]
