We’re doing our best to settle into a rhythm (thank GOD for spell check, as I don’t think I will EVER learn how to spell that word correctly) out here. A month is a long time to spend at a new place; it’s long enough that you want to bring things that are part of your normal routine, but not so much that you feel like you’re moving in permanently. Unfortunately, that line is like…
When Maya’s friend, Casey, passed away on the field with her last year, we all took an immediate liking to rubber ducks. Casey loved them, and all of a sudden, we were all obsessed with them and needed to have as many as we were willing to buy. We even went as far as Chatham on the Cape to Duck In The Window to get as many as we could. We got one for every…
I swear to you sometimes I think I’m borderline schizophrenic. One minute, I am floating around our home watching the little kids play nicely with one another: giggling, hugging, having their own little conversations that no one but them would understand. I hear Maya ask me to help her get on her crutches so she can go to the bathroom and am so, so grateful that I get to be there for her when she…
Well, Maya’s surgery went really well. It’s so interesting to me to observe how people carry themselves under these situations, particularly involving a lot of pain and a lot of narcotics 😉 It’s just the sort of situation that gives people a weird freebie to over-dramatize their situation, speak down to people, abandon manners even like simple please’s and thank you’s, and just expect all sorts of special treatment and “take time off” from being…
Adee’s husband, Mike Cazayoux, came into town doing some work for Working Against Gravity this week (also, one of the owners of Brute Stength). He and his film guy, John, have spent a fair amount of time interviewing and filming Kat and interviewing me and Ben. Mike is AWESOME, by the way. He’s just one of those very sincere people that is genuinely interested in what you have to say. About anything. And, my other…
Here we go again. I, literally, can’t believe this is happening all over again. Just different. If you were with me last year, you remember that we had booked this incredible trip to Iceland where me, Ben, and Maya were all going up to visit Kat. Except that the day before we left, we realized Maya had lost her passport. There’s no great “story” to it, she just didn’t end up going. We sat on…
I think I’m going to start using this little Update Show series as a place for me to record random little things going on over here that don’t really warrant an entire blog post. Here we go: The school year officially wrapped up for all 4 kids. Maya and Jonah survived Finals Week, received their grades for the year, and are done. Bode and Harley Love also finished their last week of playgroup since…
The fact that anyone ever seeks my advice on parenting is a complete mystery to me. It’s like, “I’m a NIGHTMARE. I have NO IDEA what I’m doing. And, the only reason my kids haven’t run away from home and started a new life under an alias is because my ex-husband is a rock star parent and he cleans up all of the messes I make with them.” Seriously. That’s what my internal dialogue is with…
First of all, yes. I am still sick. It’s sort of crossed over into the “this is getting funny” now stage. I feel like people are looking at me thinking, “Ok. Stop taking advantage of the sick thing. It’s time to get back to real life.” I haven’t been to the gym since last Wednesday. That’s about 10 days ago. And, we’re not talking like I’ve been doing some modified home workouts with sit-ups…
