Cockroaches and Caterpillars

Okay, have to admit. This post really has absolutely NOTHING to do with cockroaches or caterpillars. So why that title? For some reason it popped into my head and I can’t get rid of it. Hmmm….? Maybe it’s referring to exterminators. Maybe I need to...

Until Death Do I Part – SOC

So, today is Sunday (at least it still is here. Somewhere, it’s probably Monday already). I’m partaking in Stream of Consciousness Sunday again, and the prompt couldn’t be more perfect. I actually read the prompt hours ago, but didn’t have the...

Two Too Long

It’s been a long week. I know the week’s not over yet – we still have Friday, and then Saturday and Sunday – but my week is done! Tomrrow is my day “off.” The babysitter is coming and I get to go do “my” stuff. Yes, I do...

Moving Right Along

We’ve moved. No more wondering when we’re moving. It’s done – phew! People have been asking if we’re all settled in and unpacked. Well, yes and no! 🙂 The boys have settled into running wild in their new house, and really have had no...

Goodbye. Hello.

Goodbye home, hello new house. Goodbye hurt, anger & pain, hello happiness. Goodbye sadness, hello excitement. Goodbye. Hello.   Goodbye to an old chapter, hello to a new one. Goodbye to individual memories, hello to family memories. Goodbye to being alone, hello...
