I can’t believe that I’m blogging. It’s been awhile, but Liv came home sick from school and is sporting a fever so my original plan of heading to the store to get supplies for homemade chili has turned into an afternoon home at the computer.
Things have become overwhelming around here. There’s drama and I really [...]

Liv Ellen is 3 years old.
Her birthday last Saturday came during a time of difficulty for our family, which is further proof that she is in our lives for a reason. In the midst of even the worst of times, Liv brings us pure, simple happiness and love (I’m not in the running for Mayor [...]

Life smacked me in the face…literally.
I lost the month of August. It disappeared. I’d do anything to have it back, but I don’t want to re-live it so it can stay lost and I’ll happily move on. Bye-bye, August…hello, September.
I need to post about my baby girl’s 3rd birthday, but first I must relay today’s [...]
Have I really been sporting a “reverse mullet” for over a year? Have I walked the streets of Cleveland with people looking at me thinking, “that girl has a Kate Gosselin hair-do”? Do I want to run to the salon screaming “help”? Apparently, it’s a big, fat YES to all three.
And I had no idea. [...]
(I feel like I’ve done too much complaining on here and need to refocus…here it goes.)
Yes, he is difficult…and a loose cannon…and impatient….and a perfectionist, but so am I. I just have a very hard time admitting it.
He is also observant, thoughtful, sensitive and desperate to please. He is keenly aware. Always checking to see [...]
I can’t leave with a bad taste in my mouth so here’s another installment of “Overheard in a South Euclid Living Room.”
Liv: Playing with her Strawberry Shortcake and Polly Pockets dolls in a sing-song voice. “My daddy loves to sleep with my mommy. He really, really does.”
I look over to see that she had laid [...]
So it’s 4:00 in the afternoon and I have yet to shower…don’t judge. I woke up with a blood sugar of 350 at 5:00 this morning, promptly canceled my running date, rolled back over and prayed that the nausea would subside before my chick-a-dees started chirping for their breakfast at 7:00. The nausea didn’t go [...]

These installments should come in handy when my kids give me grief about not having any scrap/baby books.
Liv is getting ready to use the potty and spots a tampon on the counter. Sorry, TMI. But it’s essential to the dialogue that follows.
Liv: “Mama, that’s to help you poop, right?”
Me: “No, Liv.”
Liv: “To help you pee?”
Me: [...]
Awesome.
I’ve had so many posts just begging to be written, but Facebook and Twitter seem so much easier to bang out. Alas, the blog has been left by the wayside…sad and lonely. This particular post keeps resurfacing with me, so it’s time to write…more than 140 characters that is.
I had my first “diabetes event” experience [...]
Here’s a sampling of our dinner conversations as of late:
Kade: Mama, you are hott.
Kyle: Kade, do you even know what that means?
Kade: Yes, I have a sexy mama.
Okay…I guess he does know what that means, but he did not learn it from me. I swear.

Me: Liv, you are a ragamuffin. Please wipe your mouth.
