All is well. The lovely Kate is up and apparently high as a kite, but up. It was pneumonia, but hardcore, textbook material, not-sure-if-we’ll-make-it pneumonia. But she did.
Now I shall back into my eccentric Howard Hughesesque retirement. Gleefully.

I soooo did not want to write this post today. And I’ve soooo been avoiding my own blog.
Not a good sign.
I’ve been writing this blog for two years now. Here’s the post I wrote on Mother’s Day two years ago. Read it. It’s cute.
Here’s the post I wrote last [...]

We go back home to Idaho tomorrow, which is a phrase I would have never imagined typing five years ago. But we do. And because my sleep patterns have completely gone cr to the aaa to the zee, I’m just going to stay up all night tonight rather than attempt to wake up [...]

It’s been a whole week. Just a week since my mom passed away. Once the news came time sped up and slowed down and reversed and picked a bale of cotton, and it’s only been a week. From Thursday to Tuesday I spent almost every waking minute by the side of [...]

Mom passed away on Thursday. Friends and family are welcome to come to services. They will be at Grace Funeral Home in Victoria, Texas at 2:00 on Tuesday.
The past few days have been a mixture of avoidance and cathartism, which is a word I just made up. My best friend is with [...]

So we leave tomorrow. My dad got some killer free tickets with his gazillion airline miles, but they entail a 12 hour day. I’ll take a 12 hour day to save a thousand dollars anytime. I probably would have taken it to save $1.50. I’m that cheap.
We leave tomorrow and I’m [...]

Wednesday. That’s when we’ll get to Texas.
I’m breathing a shallow sigh of relief now that I know we’re going. But all the dark stuff is still ahead. First on the agenda is telling the kids.
I’m not sure what I’ll be doing with this blog in the upcoming month. I’m a [...]

You know how sometimes you go through periods when things are changing, slowly but surely, and that when the period is over life will never be the same again? I think we’re going through one of those times.
The last time was when we moved to Idaho. It wasn’t slow, it was sudden. [...]

We took a horse-drawn sleigh ride today. I could never be a farmer or a cowgirl or any other agriculturally vocationed person for one reason only: poop. That’s all I’ve got to say about that.
Otherwise, the sleigh ride was lovely, and the perfect way to start the year. We’re still hosting, [...]

It looks like one of my favorite bloggers evah, Riley, is calling it a day. When I read the entries on this page, I fall in love with her all over again. This one tells the best OC story I’ve ever read.
So go back and read her. She has the coolest celebrity [...]
