Today is the first day that all three munchkins are in school at the same time… There is a glorious stillness in the house. I am even afraid to play my MammaMia music so as to not disturb the quiet. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE spending time with all 3 of my creatures [that is an affectionate name even if it doesn't sound like it. A story for another time].

Could there possibly have been a major photo shoot happening at our house lately?

Now there is a pair of fun gals… in case you’re reading ladies! I was there for such a short time that after a quick walk through of…

I’m still here, working the summer away, daydreaming about what it was like when I had summers off. What was  that like anyway? I keep telling my kids, “back when I was a little girl….” kinds of stories until their eyes roll up into the back of their heads and they run screaming from the room :-)… hey, if you can’t use your kids for entertainment then why have them at all?? 🙂 I haven’t gotten a chance to see the movie yet, but have been listening to the soundtrack of Mamma…
