All of my irrational Bigfoot fears from childhood (and, okay… sometimes adulthood) aren’t seeming all that wackadoodle anymore. Fancypants scientists have decided to research whether they exist or not. I feel just a little more normal now. Baby steps, baby steps. (BTW… am I the only Bigfoot-obsession-overcomer that didn’t know folks also call these things Yeti? Sounds […]
Continue reading →Georgia Kate had another MRI today, a flash MRI to be exact. A flash MRI is where the kid isn’t sedated, the kid is wrapped up in a sheet and is perfectly happy with this arrangement until you strap a belt across their chest. Then out come the headphones and head gear that hold the […]
Continue reading →I started running again last fall. It took much longer this time but I finally got up to where I was before I had the stress fractures and before I got pregnant with Georgia Kate. And so I decided that I should train for a marathon in all of my, ya know, “free time”. […]

Add in the closeness in age between Jack Henry and Georgia Kate, season that with some major colic issues and my life has become buck wild crazy. And with that, things have been neglected. Thankfully things are getting easier, colic […]
