First of all, I would like to thank everyone for the encouraging words. I really need to get over myself. I think part of the reason that I am so uptight is that it took me five years, miscarriage and running the fertility clinic wheel until I finally had a successful invitro. ...

In 2007 I met a wonderful fellow mother, Melody (also on this site), whose son happens to suffer from Type 1 Diabetes. Since then I’ve learned a lot about juvenile diabetes and am happy to do what I can to help her son and others like him when I can.
Every year the JDRF...

I'm a big fan of lists, especially when you get to put a check by something you've accomplished. So here's a couple of lists: my daughter's yes and no lists. Things she really likes and things she could do without.
Let's start with the No's.
Em's "No" List
Peas, except...

I've always loved my sleep time. Early to bed, early to rise is my motto. I'm usually under the covers and sleeping away every night by 9:30. My 10 year old step daughter and I are pretty much on the same page sleep wise. We'll even "race" each other to see who...

June 1st, we received an anonymous hand written letter from a concerned neighbor stating our yard was out of control and they would appreciate it if we could mow our yard. They also suggested we pay for yard maintenance, since it doesn't cost much.
We have a new neighbor living...

The children explode out of bed
Excited to decorate their bikes
Streaks of red, white and blue
As they parade with other tykes.
Streaks of giggles, screeches of delight
Fun and games in the neighborhood
Three-legged race, balloon toss and popsicles
Reminds us life is certainly good...

Did you ever see that Mad About You episode where they were cowering outside the door letting the baby cry itself to sleep? That was my evening tonight. Not a unique experience, I understand that. But I am a tightly wound person who has a pathological need to understand the whys...

Fredrick has been everything for me to be able to get where I am. When I got pregnant, Frederick made it a point to make sure that I was just like every other athlete. I didn’t wash clothes, I didn’t wash dishes, I didn’t cook, I didn’t clean—he did it all! I tell...

It's been awhile since I posted, so I thought I'd check in.
I've been a little cut off because we still do not have Internet at our new house. Comcast is the devil and cannot set us up until the 8th. I'm okay without t.v. (though I will miss So You Think You Can Dance), but not having any...

Once a year my grandparents make the nail biting trip down from Brookings Oregon to Sacramento to visit the family for a week. This isn’t the cute, pretty, foresty part of Oregon. This is the part of Oregon that’s so far away it butts up to the North Pole. It’s a three day drive...

After 45 minutes of trying to get Brodie and Lucas to fall asleep, I finally gave up and put them to bed in their cribs and let them cry themselves to sleep. No matter what I tried, I couldn't soothe them. Those last 15 minutes of listening to them both cry was painful, and seemed...
