Waiting

December 31, 2009

I was corrected yesterday, that 12/29 is not the anniversary of mom’s death.  That she died at 12:01 AM on 12/30. Yes, that is true, today is the anniversary, but yesterday that was the worst day. Because as of 12:01AM 12/30/07, mom was pain free and hugging Karl and Matt. But from the morning of [...]

FML

December 25, 2009

I’m wondering if I have gone too public with this blog. Is it no longer a place where I can speak freely and openly. Is it not the proper forum to say things like, neither of my children thought to get me a gift for Christmas.  Or that my daughter once again yelled at me [...]

Caitlyn’s Class

December 25, 2009

This is one of many performances from Caitlyn’s Holiday party at preschool.  Here they start in Armenian and then transition to English and then to Spanish.  If the teacher didn’t give a road map you could hardly notice the transition at all. Happy Holidays everyone!

Going Rogue

December 24, 2009

Image by adriennevh via Flickr Surprised?  I know some who first found out I would be reading and reviewing this book were.  But why are they surprised?  I enjoy biographies, especially auto-biographies.  Why should I not read this one?  Because we differ in most of our political views?  Sorry, my life does not revolve around [...]

Family

December 20, 2009

I spent time on this trip with almost every member of my family that lives out that way and even some who don’t. Image by adriennevh via Flickr Obviously I stayed with Gretchen and Gordon (who fed me like I have never been fed before) for most of the time, spending a week down in [...]
