He’s lost four teeth in the past four months. He even shared his gaps for Show and Tell two weeks ago because the slightly separate arches on the top row and the close arches on the bottom row formed the shape of a famous cartoon character. We call it “Mickey Mouth.” Needless to say, he’s […]

Her Reward in Glory
After watching Alzheimer’s slowly steal my grandmother’s identity, we are mourning her. Hospice informed us four days ago that she was “actively dying,” passing on to Glory the same active way she lived. Mom’s been by her side since Monday morning when the memory care center first found Grandma non-responsive. Grandma’s done that to us […]
A Real Cliffhanger
Last Tuesday was supposed to be the second day for the kids to be back at school, but it turned into a snow day. Last year, we had a few snow days in a row and I was out sledding with the kids, making snow angels, and having snowball fights. This year I stayed inside […]
Comfy and Cozy
I’ve just spent the last hour reading all the blogs I was behind on. I’m on the couch, leg properly braced and elevated. How can I be writing this while I’m reclining under four blankets in the living room and my computer’s in the office? Let me tell you how! First, you go to a […]
Happy Thanksgiving!
By Christina Tarabochia on November 22, 2007 in Dollar Store, Family, Food, Thanksgiving, The Santa Clause
We had twenty-one people here today. To restate that more honestly, Mom and Dad had twenty-one people over. Because of my current condition, I was little help. I got off easily with doing the corn and the veggie tray. Though I did feel guilty as the other ladies slaved away in the kitchen and doing […]
The Birthday Bash
Kevin told me to get dressed up…so I did. Heels, glittery earrings, and a new dress. About ten minutes before we were supposed to leave, our friends called and told him their little girl was sick. “What are we going to do?” “We’ll just go without them, but you have to be ready in five […]
It’s My Birthday! Wait…No, It’s Not!
In about an hour, my darling husband is whisking me off for an evening of fun! My 30th birthday is on the 30th of this month. A big deal, right? Unfortunately, my sweetie pie drew a deer tag for that week. Because of that, and the ACFW conference next week, we’re celebrating early. I have […]
Measurable Progress
Since this is a writer’s blog, I suppose I should update you on our writing progress every now and again, eh? Yesterday, Mom and I updated our website. We have a couple things left to do: need to add photos or links to three pages and figure out why our FAQs page is suddenly showing […]
Off Again!
The house is clean. I haven’t had a chance to read any blogs. And I’m blogging. It’s only 10:50! PM! (I’m making fun of my last post.) Everything started off just as well as it had yesterday. In fact, the day was much better than I was anticipating after what Joshua went through last night. […]
And They’re Off!
The beds are stripped and the sheets are already in the dryer. The washer is stuffed with towels. The house is clean. I’ve made the rounds of all my favorite blogs. And now I’m blogging. And it’s only 10:40! Ah, the first day of school! I do miss my little munchkins, but I’m making the […]
