I remember when she was just a mere babe….
Lucky Dorito on Aug 11th 2008
attached to my hip and now - my firstborn daughter is nearly 23 years old. Suki’s birthday is just around the corner, August 21st. I don’t know where all those years went… they flew by in a blink of an eye. I remember when she was a newborn, people would look at her and comment, [...]

Five Random Moments this Week:
We’ve been on the search for new sneakers for Luby, with the first day of school coming this week. She’s kind of tall for her age, wearing a size 4 1/2 shoe now. In our little town, it’s hard to find those *middle of the road* youth sizes…. not quite kids [...]
Chicago and the first day of school!

Where has the summer gone? I know that’s what my kids keep asking …. as today marks the beginning of school. I hate that our schools start sooo stinkin early, in the height of the August heat. Poor kiddos, they are dreading it in some ways - and so is their mama. Back to [...]

Many, many months ago, I ran across this post at Bleeding Espresso. (Go check it out and then come back here) Her post so moved me, the thought of saying those things that fill my head from time to time but that I have never been able to say is heady powerful business. I tucked [...]
In the eye of the storm
Lucky Dorito on Jul 23rd 2008
You know, it’s funny. Sometimes life is slow, tedious, boring and routine. The same ole’ same ole. Sometimes life comes at you fast, making you work hard to just keep your head above water. And then there are times when it is just CRAZY, like being caught in a perpetual storm…. things that you expect [...]
MOM! MOM! MOM!
Lucky Dorito on Jul 21st 2008
We got home late Saturday, after our wonderful relaxing and fun-filled family weekend away. We managed to squeak together a rather hodge-podge meal of random leftovers and crashed hard. It’s always fun to be away but soooo nice to be home in our big ole’ fabulous bed!
