Have I mentioned…I love the written word? LOL. I do think I have…more than a few times. I adore books, they grow everywhere I am. So tonight I thought I’d share a quick little memory/story of where this all began. It actually began a little before this, however that wasn’t quite as significant as Continue Reading »

Have you ever come across something that causes memories to flood your mind like waves rippling a shores edge? I had this happen the other day because of these salt and pepper shakers. I hadn’t seen a set of these in 50 thousand years and yet there they were on the counter of a family that I work for. The site Continue Reading »

After a full day of caring for a set of toddler twin girls I set off to take my walk with Caleb. While I waited for him on the street in front of his house I put on my white ankle socks and sneakers while I continued to listen to my newest, utterly delightful book on CD: “The Memory Keeper’s Daughter”.

You Tube Update… Youtube music surfing is now, for now at least, my new “thing” to do when I blog…So yes it’s currently going in the background, but more about that in a minute…
I really am quite mulit-faceted in many ways. I’m not one to just settle on one thing. Some take comfort in a mundane routine in their life. That would Continue Reading »

Okay, its 8:33, and I’ve had an incredibly easy day for me. Picked up Zac at 11:30, made him a nice “menu appropriate” meal which he loved, had a quick meet up with a women I’m getting to know and have been trying to get together with again for the last three weeks, then on to get the oil changed… I was a little over due like 2 1/2 oil changes over, then the mechanic and told me that my air filter and Continue Reading »

Dum, ditty, dum, ditty, dum, dum, dum…A famous line from a famous book. Know which one??? “Hand, Hand, Fingers, Thumb” by AL Perkins, from the Bright and Early Book for Beginners from the Cat in the Hat series. A book I must have read a thousand times, to all my kids as they grew. It’s the sound of the words that gets ya. And today they were ringing through my ears. You know the day. The one that is the same as yesterday and the day before that. Some days just run together so tightly that I can’t remember which day is which. They blur into one. Today I worked 8-4, then Continue Reading »

So how’s Zac’s? Well his health by outside observations is improving. He is looking and acting better than he has in at least two years. We still have a long road ahead but things are improving so I’m thankful. I manage to pick him up from school almost every day from school at 11:30. How? It’s really beyond me. I just some how seem to manage it. I have one family that is totally fine with me Continue Reading »

We are nearing the end of April and that means something to me. Now that I’m all about organizing my financial life anyways. I have spent the entire month religiously gathering every receipt and entering it onto my “tracking” document and now, at months end, the time is nearly here to take all this information and organize it into a manila envelope and file it away with APRIL written boldly across the top. At least that is what my tax/account friend tells me is the best course of action.
