We Did It

Or, should I say, he did it. That would be Theo. Surviving the day.   You see my boy, The Boss, did not have school today. Which means a change in schedule. Such a drag. But it also brought with it changing weather and a high wind advisory. For Theo, our weather prognosticator, it was, … Continue reading →

Two Days to go ’til the Big Birthday

NINE years. Nine. So long I waited to become a mom and, poof, they’re going to be nine. (If they’re lucky, and with two days left, they better make it.) Hard to imagine the triplets are going to be nine. The big question is did they age me 9 years, or a collective 27 years… … Continue reading →

Beware the ides of March

It’s been a long Winter — I’ve addressed that earlier. And since it’s the half-way point of the month of March (beware) we’ve seen a taste of spring!!

Thank goodness the weather was pleasant and she got outside… And, the DAY after… Theodore, my … Continue reading →

(Actually, dad signed me up for … Continue reading →

My Daughter is Playing #Ftball

Gretchen. My little Gretchen. My little fighter. Theo’s biggest advocate. It’s been a tough winter on her brother and, as a result, Miss Gretchen is feeling the pinch. At least that’s what I think is going on. That, plus, Miss Olena acted this same way last year. Now, it’s Gretchen’s turn, to TAKE IT ALL … Continue reading →

Longest Winter Ever

Every year I think this will be the winter of Theo’s contentment. So far, it hasn’t worked. Yet. The “dis” in the discontent makes itself known in mid-December and grabs any shred of optimism left in my bones and shakes it to the ground. Again this year The Boss has had one heck of a … Continue reading →
