Been a long time
Well, I just noticed that it’s been an indecently long time since I have written. And I guess it’s high time I got it together and updated. Its down to the last weeks before my husband returns from this latest deployment. I am excited and nervous. Nervous that he has a mental image of what the house we moved into almost a year ago looks like, and that the expectations are high. There’s still a lot of unpacked boxes and odds and ends I haven’t quite figured out what to do with in this new house. It has been busy. It seems like every day a thousand things are on…
Summer is Coming
I have been on a movie binge of late. Maybe I am shaking the dust off and getting back to the movies after the long sabbatical at home? Last night we went to the opening of Iron Man. I enjoyed it, but the kids loved it even more. My youngest son couldn’t keep himself from clapping anytime Iron Man demolished something or looked to be ready to triumph over the bad guys.
Double Dog Dare You and Other Life Lessons
My 6-year-old stuck a green plastic ball into his ear on a dare. The ER couldn't get it out. The ENT did. He never did it again. Parenting is something else.

Martial Law
Kids acting out at Tae Kwon Do means laying down the martial law when we get home.
