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 [...]

Here is a link to the obituary we wrote for my mom. They misspelled ‘Milledgeville.’ This is not important to anyone whatsoever.
My mom died of muscular dystrophy, specifically a form called myotonic muscular dystrophy, which is usually an adult-onset form of the disease. Her father also died of MD. Her brother [...]

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 [...]

I used to have great disdain for parents who overscheduled their kids. Over-ambitious activity freaks, I thought they were. And who schedules ‘playdates’ anyway? Seriously? I’M JUST GOING TO LET MY KIDS BE KIDS, I said.
Cut to January, 2008.
Me: Uh…Charlie’s going to start piano next week.
Him: Really?
Me: [...]

Now that it’s 2008, I suppose I should revise my to-do list. This time I’m going to focus on what I want to do this year, which certainly changes things up a bit. I heart lists.
Also, this list belongs on the page entitled “Kristi’s Big To-Do.” But I couldn’t get it on [...]

You do? You do? Awesome!
Once instructed to smirk arrogantly, Ava excelled at picture-taking.
Don’t do it. Just don’t.
I guess I could invest in some hair clips or something.
Have you met my daughter, Photogenia?
Or my husband the dock worker-slash-New England fisherman?
Only Charlie noticed the attacking sleigh horses. Only Ava was able [...]

A little bit.
“I’m not gonna try to defend, or undo what’s been done. All I could say about whatever’s been done, it’s been done, and it’s water under the bridge. I have no regrets of my life.”
None, dead Ike? NONE? Not even when you spent the first half of your life being a [...]

It hits me like a ton of bricks. I should be writing something.
Not this, though I love this and I think I’m better at this than writing other things. No, I should be writing something else. Something pretty. Something that I could get lost in if I were not me and [...]

I remember very few things about my high school experience. Which is strange…I’m only 31. I think I have amnesia. All I can remember are the speech tournaments and play rehearsals and choreographing awesome dances with my bff. I didn’t even buy a yearbook my senior year, which totally sucks because [...]
