Today was science day. I have been stewing over what to do for a little experiment. The other night Rob and I had a conversation about toilet paper and septics because we are old and that is what we do. It was that discussion that gave me the idea for a scientific process lesson, because,…

Flying Devil Creatures
I despise bugs. I despise flying bugs. Today was not a great day for me and flying creatures. I went golfing with Rob. It started out great. We were carefree and ready for a great day. It was my turn to tee off on our first hole. I was feeling confident. I got all lined…
Tay’s Scoliosis: Surgery Day
This post will be set up a little differently as it is intended to give more of the play by play. I didn’t sleep much last night, which is to be expected. I doubt I will sleep much until we get back home. I had that panicky fear of sleeping through my alarm and her…

I have moved from child to adult, from student to professional, and from being alone to being married with kids. Through it all, I have experienced the upbeat, perfectly happy, white picket fence, all…
