So…. I noticed one cool thing right away about this new version of Wordpress. It supports “Gravatars”! I love having the little pic to associate with commenter’s - every one can be so unique! Find a picture of SOMEthing that just screams your name and go here to upload yours today. It’s quick [...]

You ever [...]

There are some people in this world that you meet and connect with immediately. The writer of this *Mom-story* is one of those people for me. I first started reading at The Dad’s blog in the summer of 2006 when I was a serious blog-lurker (not a commenter at ALL!) One day, a few weeks [...]

and this will be my view:

I can’t wait to sink my toes in the sand.
To sit in the sand and look at the horizon.
To smell the ocean.
To hear the waves and the birds.
To reflect on my life, as I sit there.
To rejuvenate, to relax, to unwind.
To feel the warmth of the sun on my skin.

* cleaning up after everyone. Again.
* doing 9 hundred loads of laundry.
* emptying / reloading the dishwasher a gazillion times a week.
