Do I Look Familiar?

Remember me… loony knitter that had 2 more children in 2 years… all while being over 40?  Sound familiar? Well, let me get things caught back up. The Drawer:   In my last post I discussed the idea of cleaning out a drawer of little jewelry boxes and my fear that if I did that, […]

The Drawer

I’m not superstitious.  Or I didn’t think I was.  But last night I realized that I am superstitious about one thing.

Good News, Resolutions and Such

Missing in Action

Besides that there is colic, much colic. Started working again.  “The Littles” go to a sitter in the morning while I work.  So afraid […]

Georgia On My Mind

As a kid, I had a grandmother who loved me beyond measure.  Yes, she was a worrier and a fretter and drove many batty with her list of concerns.  But she loved me.  Loved me to a point that, quite frankly, really irritated my mother.  I always knew she loved me but until recently, I […]
