I am utterly shocked that I have a moment or two to myself today to actually be able to type up a few words on my Mommy Blog. Oh, boy, did I need a mental break from my much cherished, but busy little one. He awoke this morning at 7:30 am, but that is okay, because he went to bed the night before at 6pm. I have been able to do some laundry today, too, which is nice, because whenever I try to do ... Read the Post

I'd Love to be able to say that I had a 'good time after all' camping, but sadly, no, I did not. I do not think I will ever enjoy being swarmed by bugs (I guess they were gnats so at least they didn't bite), but they were so very thick I couldn't breath.

1. I weighed 98 lbs. when I graduated from high school, because I could not gain weight no matter how hard I tried.....now I would give ANYTHING to have back that metabolism! 2. I met my husband, Jon at the Oregon State Fair in Salem in 1991. We were both in line for the same ride. We met quite by accident when upon exiting the ride, I swung the little metal gate to get out, and it swung back and ... Read the Post
