Let's go back in time, shall we? It's the early '80s - and I'm about six or seven. Imagine, if you will, a nice summer day with a light, cool breeze and me happily riding my bike around . . .

Last night, or sometime very early this morning, Sophie fell out of her bed (don't worry, her landing was softened by the border of pillows I surrounded her bed with) and started to cry. Half asleep, . . .

My niece is a leap year baby, and this year she had her party at Club Libby Lu . The girls each got a wig of their choice - either a Hannah Montana or a Sharpay. Bailey and Laila picked Sharpay . . .

I've mentioned several times that my kids are a bit weird, and that's okay, because I love them that way. I'm sure to get a laugh from their antics: if I'm in a sour mood, and say, Laila . . .

A few weeks ago, we are driving home from our trip to Ruidoso, NM when we see, two cars ahead of us, what looks like a deer sprinting across the highway, nearly getting hit by a car. We slow down . . .

I am still nursing my youngest, who is 27 months. Don't judge me, she's much stronger physically and mentally than I am. So, she climbed into bed with us sometime in the morning and was rooting . . .
