\ Chloe is home sick from school today; despite the smile on her face, she was feeling pretty miserable….
mortified by past due bills
This morning I took Chloe to her pediatrician for a “sick child” visit. Before we got to see the pediatrician, I was mortifyingly called into the billing office – “You have a balance of $108. You need to pay this now.” I explained to the woman that if I had gotten a bill, I had

Gazoo kitty was happy to have us home! And we came home bearing gifts for her! A new “water fountain”, a new littler box and new special litter. Her lab results showed she’s dehydrated, so we’re hoping to get her to drink and pee more…

Last week, I wrote a little about our rainy day at Legoland Florida. While we had hoped for a nice day and a chance to go to the water park (we had been so optimistic that we pre-bought tickets that then went to waste), we had a lovely time nonetheless. While the girls are on

14 years gone in the blink of an eye
Can you believe it? I sure can’t. Camille is now FOURTEEN. So cliche, but it really does seem like yesterday that she was born. Happy birthday to my sweet girl, and happy birthday a few days late to her lovely friend Claire whom I am honored to have watched grow up from a toddler into

Thanks to our little book store, Camille and I received free passes to go see “The Perks of Being a Wallflower” at the Plaza Theatre last night. And as a bonus, the author/screenwriter/director Stephen Chbosy was there to talk about the book and movie and to answer questions from the audience as well!

This lovely sign appeared on the door from my bedroom to the balcony. I think it should say “Stay In” not “Keep Out”, right?

We’re approaching the five month mark of not being able to use our balconies. The plants are dead and the cat is desperate to go out. And now that the weather is cooler, I’d love to have the doors and windows open … soon, soon.

Our new subway sign finally came in the mail! I can’t wait to get it hung up in the girls’ bathroom !!

For weeks, I watched the weather reports, but kept assuming that the weather would be clear for our one chance to go to the water park at Legoland. Even as we approached and saw the clouds, we had high hopes that the storm would blow over quickly and we’d get the day we had planned

Gazoo wants to go outside on her balconies. But they remain a construction zone, even now that the weather is perfect for her to lounge outdoors. Soon, soo, we hope.
