This site is dedicated to my ever loving bratty children, my tolerant husband and well to my friends who support me in so many ways even when we don't speak for years. Cheers - to the beautiful and not so beautiful passings in our lives. In other words - those moments when life is painful and all you can do is laugh until you cry (or pee)!

Life at 100mph


We put up our christmas decorations! They look great!!


This is Ron's office converted into Tylers room


This is now my bedroom, yes the dresser is turned sideways to allow us an alleyway into the bedroom, Ron's desk is behind the dresser.

Well, here it is as far as our life goes:

Amber is trying her absolute hardest to repeat 4th grade (Maybe because she likes 4th grade). We are working on a school program for her, but wow is she being a tough cookie. Her strength is persistence...

Mallory is doing VERY well in school so far this year - we are so proud of her, she also hasn't gotten any more tickets and successfully completed her probation (every parents dream - right?).

Tyler is a joy - he does his chores, his laundry, his homework and he is doing well with his job at King Soopers, he is polite and listens and makes my kids look like devils...

Ron is adjusting to having his office in the bedroom - this has not been easy for either of us, but he is taking it like a man...

Me - well, work, work, work and looking forward to seeing my gal pals from Qwest in a couple of weeks!! I have been busy getting ready for christmas which has been a chore since we are short on money (thanks to my job, having another kid and Ambers braces), so I am making gifts this year - I actually did pretty well at it (I think)...

Love you all - there is a quick update on us!!

I always knew you loved the fast lane.

I hope Amber doesn't have to repeat 4th grade. That'd suck.

Yea, for Mal. I am also glad to hear Tyler is settling in well, even if Ron isn't liking his new office all that much.

I miss you!! Please pencil a little time in your insane schedule for coffee with me when I am there. I get in the 18th and leave the 28th.

I miss you! Post more!

Really 2 out of 3 doing well is not bad. At least Mallory & Tyler are not acting up so you can focus more on Amber.

I'm right there with you on Xmas. I too am making many presents. Ben's new job & surgery are making it a little tough right now.
