The whole school has had an assignment this year. The theme was “Everyone Has a Story”, and different classes too different approaches to writing a book. Paris’s class was to write about the topic of “Heroes”. The school held an “Everyone Has a Story” night, where parents could come and read all the books, it [...]

This post has been going around and around in my mind tonight. To the point where I just had to get online and write. Since their father moved to Oklahoma two years ago, my girls haven’t really had an authoritative male figure in their short lives. Of course there’s Grandpa, but Grandpa has to be [...]

I felt the same way that I did on the first day my girls went to kindergarten. They disappeared through the double doors into a sea of kids. After a few seconds I couldn’t even see them. I had just handed my girls off to a group of strangers and would not see them for [...]

The way you make me feel … You make me feel like a natural woman … You make me feel brand new … You make me feel like dancing … You make me feel mighty real … You make me wanna … They just love writing songs about it, don’t they? You make me …… [...]

… and the kale harvest gives way to the collard harvest. No, that’s not true – there is still kale to harvest, today was just collard day in my garden. I feel like I have accomplished something today. And the aphids were seemingly non-existent. After finishing work, the girls and I headed over to Noodles [...]

I know they grow up fast. But this is a phase that I wish she would grow out of VERY quickly!!

I guess the answer is no, so you’ll have to put up with my photographs instead! LMAO!! These were taken at the girls Field Day, Thursday May 22, I think it was! First, Paris always looks great in monochrome … Then, Ciel always begs to be photoshopped! Nothing earth-shattering, just some fairly routine manipulation but [...]

Work has been hectic, and I don’t say that in jest … I spent much of my time getting ready for our annual fundraiser, and then our server crashed, taking with it many years worth of data.  The good news was that everything up to about mid-March was recovered. The bad news was that only [...]
