Category Archives: What's up?It’s becoming something of a family tradition: going to San Diego for Alan’s birthday. This year it was a last minute plan because Mom had points to use before the end of June. We stayed on Shelter Island, right across from the Bay and we soaked up the view. Friday we arrived in time for [...]
K is seventeen! I can hardly believe it. The time I’ve spent with her has been a lifetime and a blink. I can’t remember my life before her and yet it was only yesterday she was a baby. I long for those moments when she was sparkling new, full of curiosity and wide blue eyed [...]
The administration at Shepherd Junior High School in Mesa Arizona tried to bully our children into compliancy with a ban on hugs. Tayler said the trouble began when a parent saw a hug between two students of the same sex. They assumed the participants were homosexual and the display offended their delicate, religious sensabilities. Eventually, [...]
Today was Tay’s day. Every year for the kids’ birthdays, I let them play hooky and take them out to lunch and a movie. Tay’s B day was actually yesterday, but she wanted to go to school and be the star attraction, so we did our thing today instead. We had to do breakfast and [...]
We’ve all been sick, alternating between Tay, Kels and now me. I dread Alan getting sick, because his mood is unbearable. I’m sure we’re all that way, but the girls and I usually retreat to our own corners. I took Tay to the Dr because she had a fever for three days and I was [...]
So far the New Year is off to a good start. K has been doing especially well lately. In don’t know if it’s the medication or just determination but her attitude has done a 180. I’m sure some of it is just growing up. T is in that tough time right now. She is easily [...]
The holidays are officially over and I’m back to work. My time off went too fast and I didn’t get nearly enough accomplished. I did get plenty of rest and spent time with the kids, doing our usual Christmas shopping day. K already spent most of her money, so she and I went to the [...]
We had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Sharon and Larry came to town and stayed for about three days. Melinda also came to town, but I didn’t see her much. Thursday we had the usual fare: turkey, ham, mashed potatoes, stuffing and green beans. Everything was so delicious. I think it was one of the best meals [...]
Today was my 41st birthday. K & T have been asking me all week if I was excited that my bday was approaching. I wouldn’t exactly describe it as “excited” although I will never complain about a birthday or getting older. The alternative is much worse. I think it’s so depressing to hear people wish [...]
My grandmother would cook dinner every Sunday, at least until she got too sick to do it. She had an open door policy, “If you’re in the neighborhood, stop by.” I think we all knew our presence was expected if not required. It seems like everyone was there, at least most the time, my mom, [...]
