Count Dooku’s being in school was a very good thing this year. I didn’t feel like throwing a party and so I didn’t have too. I made 30 cupcakes in Spiderman tins, decorated each of them with white frosting and a black spider’s web, bought 30 juice boxes and took it all in to his [...]

Six years ago yesterday at 10:30 a.m. I was awakened by cramping in my lower abdomen.
Fourteen hours of labor, 2 1/2 hours of pushing, one use of forceps, one broken tail bone, one fourth degree tear and 45 stitches later I held my brand new baby in my arms. The moment I held him I [...]

Just so you all know I was never considering quitting the blog, just wondering if I ought to try to change things up, but then as you made me realize, it’s better to just be me. Even in all my emotional and writing style swaying glory. So thanks for your kind comments.

Some of you may have noticed I’ve been a bit sporadic in my posting as of late.
I’d like to think it was all due to a certain little project (I’ll talk about later) I’ve been busy with. But truth be told, I could be posting regularly if I really wanted too. And that got [...]
