Enough About Dirt

enough-about-dirt

ne of my friends grew quite weary of my constant refrain on Wednesday that I was as old as dirt. From him I received the following:

I’ve got good friends, don’t I?

Does This Number Make Me Look Old?

appy birthday to me
Happy birthday to me
I’m as old as dirt
Happy birthday to me!
Geez Louise. There is something about turning 45 that just screams, “It’s over for you.” Not that life is over. Goodness, no. But that the young half of your life is now gone. See that thing running quickly away from you? That [...]


Pretty in Pink

I have to thank my dear blogger friend Deathstar for awarding me a Pink Rose Award. I am thrilled and honored that she sees my no nonsense take on life after adoption and on life in general as giving her hope. I have to tell you that with 5 days until my 45th birthday, [...]

The contest seems innocuous enough until you look at [...]

The good news…I got out on Friday, just in time to pick up Z at daycare after her cupcake party and get in some toddler loving before she went to bed.
All I can [...]

i-dont-like-being-a-patient

esterday I got admitted to the little hospital near me. This admission comes after two ambulance rides in the past week. All I can say is uncontrolled vomiting and pooping blood are both very, very bad things.
