We're a [big] family again!

2008-08-15T03:49:04Z

Michael and Eddie are home from Summer visitation in Chicago. They both arrived with hair down to their shoulders like little vagabonds! That got fixed. They've been settling in and getting ready for school. After his doctor's appointment this ...

And then there was one.

Bailey's father picked her up several hours later than what he had told her, but I'm not complaining. When she went, Tommy decided to take out his anger about the situation on me. The poor thing is out of siblings for two weeks until Bailey retur...

More splitting up

2008-06-30T12:23:45Z

My Sunday was pretty uneventful. After I delivered a print to CCFEMS 12, we had breakfast, went shopping and stopped by CCFEMS 7 so Tom could see an old friend. There wasn't much else to the day after that, just relaxing. We had subs and watche...

Eddie's Bakery + Summer Visitation Travel - Tom: Day 1

2008-06-15T01:12:03Z

Yesterday, Eddie made us a cherry pie. He is wearing one of my Pampered Chef aprons, as well as his little league baseball cap. Michael is in the background making himself some ramen noodles. Eddie made a great pie, too. He's made us promise to l...

QotD: And of course, the title has to be... Home Alone!

2008-04-13T23:47:51Z

What happened the first time you were left home alone as a child? Submitted by Warhead. Absolutely nothing. I don't even remember the first time I was left home alone. I remember that I was being left home alone for a while when my father insis...

Spring Vacation Visitation Travel: Days 3 & 4

2008-04-06T18:21:30Z

We ran two hours behind schedule since my ex-husband decided to play games to an extent where the police had to help return the boys. It's both fortunate and unfortunate that this happens so often that the boys aren't intimidated by the police. I...

Spring Vacation Visitation Travel: Day 2

2008-03-29T23:51:25Z

We left Cave City, KY at 8am and arrived in Rensselaer at 1pm. The time zone fluctuated between Central and Eastern so my times are all Eastern. We had time to run back to Sayler Makeever Cemetery to get the micro geocache hidden there, run som...

Spring Vacation Visitation Travel: Day 1

2008-03-29T04:38:39Z

I HATE SNOWBIRDS! *cough* We left at 8:45am Eastern. We crawled from Tampa until I-24. We went an average of 40mph between Macon and Atlanta and never went over 85mph! I couldn't trust the snowbirds not to jump ahead of me in the fast lane just...

Cemeteries + more Waymarking talk

2008-03-27T03:47:30Z

I can't begin to tell you how much I like this photo. I don't know why. I guess with the ridiculousness of xenophobia and immigration, it just seems appropriate. I went to two cemeteries today. It would have been three but the third was in a di...

Preparing for Easter

2008-03-21T03:33:42Z

We coloured eggs tonight, and then took pictures of them. Tommy even got into the fun, turning all his eggs blue. On Wednesday while Bailey was in CCD, I waymarked the North Port Library and took some pictures of the Most Holy Mother of God Ukrai...
