Flippin’ Eye Ball

Made it to 2021. I keep typing and deleting. Ugh. Guess this is why I haven’t posted in a while. I did binge a lot of shows. Queen’s Gambit (so good), The Crown (why did I never watch this), Cobra Kai (I don’t know why, but now feel an obligation to watch Season 3), VirginContinue reading “Flippin’ Eye Ball”

It’s a miracle – HA HA!

I never do well with watching my language this time of year. I actually do try, sometimes. The week of Sam’s birthday it gets out of control. Don’t like swearing, don’t read past this paragraph. I even put in a picture before I start. For the last 25 years I have dreaded this week. ItContinue reading “It’s a miracle – HA HA!”

I don’t blame Darren for Sam having surgery #22, but look at this costume and I’ll tell you why I blame the costume. Darren’s favorite time of year is Halloween.

Most don’t remember insurance was thisContinue reading “Pre-existing Conditions is how we landed in Orange County”

Apparently it wasn’t a whisper and why not have an evacuation during a pandemic

November 23, 1994, I did get myself to the hospital (that set a trend of how things would go with the next two kids – more on that later). This was the Wednesday before Thanksgiving. Know what happens that day? A lot of people leave for a long weekend to gather with family and beContinue reading “Apparently it wasn’t a whisper and why not have an evacuation during a pandemic”

A bit of the beginning and the current

26 years ago I was 25 and pregnant for the first time. Surprised, yes, but we were young and dumb. Yep, called us two engineering parents-to-be dumb. And that was a good thing at the time. More details will be written, but to get to current, it was a horrible pregnancy. Running very low bloodContinue reading “A bit of the beginning and the current”
