Wednesday, May 30th – we can sleep in today! Yay! It’s the first time the whole trip, and Brighid is snoring away. The sun shines in at 5:30 AM, and when I wake up, outside my window is a group of scruffy looking men doing something nautical.

I haven’t posted anything about this here, just to avoid jinxing anything, but Brighid and I are fortunate enough to have the opportunity to join my in-laws on a 12 night cruise in the Mediterranean. I am both over the top excited and as nervous as anything! This is a phenomenal trip for Brighid…

I’m sure it’s very nice there and the people are lovely, just lovely. But I kind of thought I’d get into a routine with Jim working there all week. I tried. I signed up for Fly Lady, I’m trying to get the stuff done around the house, and I’m trying to get each kid to…

I am not a big believer in “requesting” teachers. I figure that whatever teacher your kid gets, that’s the one you deal with, pimples and all. Every teacher has things you will approve of and maybe not totally agree with, so you take a little good with a little bad. When Eilis was assigned her…

You do not know how exciting it was to go into the Gap today, wearing a pair of size 12 jeans, thinking I could just TRY the 10’s on, since I might get into them in the next month or two. THEY FIT!! I didn’t even have to lay on the floor of the…

A post on the blog of a woman I truly admire inspired me to write this. Go visit her blog now – she’s phenomenally and sarcastically funny, and a wealth of information on weight loss surgery. And she has kids that are just about the cutest kids on the planet – well, except for the…

On my recent visit in with my gastric bypass surgeon, they were kind enough to present me with a lovely bag of samples and goodies that they had saved for me from Christmas. Most of it was junk and I threw it away, my kids took off with the water bottle and the bag itself,…

It’s a really sad day here. Jim’s friend Calvin died yesterday morning from metastatic prostate cancer at the age of 49. But it’s not just Calvin’s passing that makes today sad. My sister’s friend Jual was diagnosed just last week with breast cancer. She’s 29 years old, has two children under the age of 3,…

Yes, I will finally have my place in the history books, ladies and gentlemen! I have gone 42 years of my life without doing anything worthy of notoriety, but I have finally done something to make me (in)famous – at least at Eilis’ school. So, I get an email the other day, informing me…
