On Aunting
Today, we had a visit from my oldest nephew, Simon. (We’ll call him Simon, because that’s totally not his name.) He’s one of my most favorite people. Our relationship is based on coffee. When Simon was small he would wait … Continue reading
My Grass Will Be Greener
Sometimes, like when I’m placing metal ornamental palm trees into a half-empty basket on the bathroom floor, to make room for mouthwash on the vanity, I get freaked out that my husband hasn’t gotten a job yet. We’ve been here … Continue reading

Spring Bound
I’m having a hard time adjusting here in the Palace of Rules. I’m often uncomfortable apart from the sleeping time. It’s always strange how other people live, therefore it’s certainly strange to live with them. But instead of focusing on … Continue reading

Stressed Baby is Stressed
When we moved here, the wee ones were so wee. They were two and three, barely off the breast and out of diapers. As I mentioned, they don’t remember the last house we lived in. They have no memories there. … Continue reading
Romance Is What You Make It

26 Random Things About Me
1. My birthday is November 26. 2. I believe in numerology and despite my fear of and ineptitude with math, I believe numbers are codes for everything. For instance, name-wise, my entire family consists of only 5’s, 6’s, 7’s and 8’s. … Continue reading
