Last night we were at our favorite sushi spot with J. So many memories. We’d go there and sit at the bar and talk to the sushi chefs and anyone else who happened to sit nearby. We’d unwind and talk about our day and hold hands and plan for the future. Well, BAM! The future […]
Is it weird that I’m secretly proud of the dedication and passion with which my son throws his tantrums? I mean, he’ll figure out that they get him nowhere, but there’s a part of me that roots for him. “That’s right son! Stick to your guns! Try out all the primal screams!” Part of me […]
Was at a stoplight with Josh in the stroller yesterday waiting to cross. I observed a man across the street and this is the convo I had in my head: “Sir, I noticed you pressed the ‘walk’ button no less than 15 times. Which leads me to the conclusion that you think pressing the button […]
Been wondering what it would be like to have the stomach virus and chest congestion and take care of a child. I’d have to rate it as “Less than desireable.”
Thank you all for your kind birthday wishes. I am thankful for every undeserved second, minute, hour, day and year that the Lord allows me. I am thankful for you, my friends who add so many beautiful layers to my life. I am thankful for my family and my husband who have an unlimited amount […]

Wearing my snow pants today 1) they looked lonely in the closet 2) we won’t get to ski this year because little J isn’t walking yet… Putting him on skis may be problematic 3) it’s 32 degrees (good grief phx, this is skiing weather, not “living in phx” weather 4) there is actually snow dusted […]
I have a mental checklist that goes something like this: “Because of the amount of concentration required, I will do X, Y & Z when Joshua goes to sleep at night.” Too bad at the end of the day, I don’t have enough concentration to remember what X, Y & Z are. Screw it. Chocolate.
While bathing J tonight, one of the cats was lurking around the tub perimeter. She must have misjudged her jump because before I know it, the cat was floating in the tub with a very delighted 14-month-old. I should charge admission.
So I was in the movie theater with my dear husband on a much needed-date and as usual, I was making gesticulations and facial expressions at the screen. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw someone laughing at a part that’s not supposed to be funny. He was totally dying just watching me! […]
