we knew this would happen, but we had to bite the bullet anyway.  Our 4.5 yo
son is scared of our new golden retreiver puppy.
as far as puppies go, she is pretty good.   A bit jumpy and bitey, but not
too bad.  This w/e she wil lbe 10 weeks old, we have had her for 2.

from PA is due tomorrow night.  She was supposed to be here Sunday but the
flight was cancelled due to bad weather.  /fingers crossed she makes here
safely tomorrow night.  OMG I'm going to be a freakin zombie at work on
Thursday.  2 weeks with no days off with a very late night ...

Well, it's finally happened.  As much as I thought it would pass by quietly
like a gentle summer breeze, it hasn't.  It has slammed into us like a herd

and probably not what anyone is even thinking.  My 6yo has always been a
'picky' eater ... (if you google - this has been a hot topic for me before)

We took the van in to get new tires and have the brakes looked at.
I was expecting the tires to run just over $300 for 4, and who knows

I've often put it down to a phase. But he is 9 this weekend and we've

Well the party went off with only a few hitches.  For those of you who
were concerned about her having a party so soon after the flu, DH asked
specifically about that.  Doctor said that she would be fine after two
