Can’t believe a week from today I return to Bellevue. Can’t believe I’ve been here in Hawaii almost two months already. Even harder to believe I’ve only been to the beach once!! What have I done all summer? Write. And write. And nurse Mac. And make sure boys were happy. And, well, write some more. […]

Heartstrings
Saturday I was at Hickam Airforce Base doing a three hour booksigning in the BX when my cell phone beeped. I had no one in line at that moment so I checked my phone and this was the picture text I received: I Miss My Mommy I have to say, I had a much harder […]
Hello from Hawaii
Apologies for not posting sooner but I’ve been pouring all my time and energy into baby and book. Both are wonderful and interesting and very demanding! I love having Mac here but don’t ever want to have a baby and a book due at the same time again, and considering I’m 45, I probably won’t. […]
Confession
I have thought long and hard about whether I should write this blog. I have struggled with its appropriateness as there’s nothing worse than writing something, having it go live, and then worry that it offends someone, or others feel compelled to ‘cheer me up’ as I don’t need cheering, just a frank conversation. I […]
Home in Hawaii
We’ve been in Hawaii for a week now and yesterday I finally felt more settled and almost comfortable. The suitcases and boxes are put away and making meals has become do-able. I’m able to locate towels for the kids, and Mac’s diapers in drawers. This is a new house for me, bought last summer but […]
Father’s Day Weekend
Father’s Day weekend is here and my big boys have left to be with their dad, and my littlest boy is here in Bellevue with me while his dad, Ty, teaches surfing in sunny Waikiki. Business has really picked up again in Hawaii so Ty has to be there now, but I am sorry we […]
Mom & Mac
Every day or so I use my cell phone to snap a pic of Mac to send to his daddy in Hawaii. I do it because Surfer Ty misses his boy and well, I like Ty to see exactly what my life is like. The photo below is the pic I sent yesterday. Mac is […]
Time-Out
I’m not posting much. But then, I’m not doing much of anything but struggling to comfort my newborn who has acid reflux and now cries night and day. On Wednesday morning Surfer Ty returned to Hawaii for the next two weeks and his departure took the wind out of my sails. I was coping while […]
Happy Mother’s Day
We’ve just returned from Mother’s Day brunch and happily Mac slept through the entire meal, which was a blessing considering the fact that he has cried since 4:30 am and only conked out as we were about to leave for brunch at 10:30. After six hours of nursing, rocking and fussing I needed a mellow […]
Little Update
This is going to be short and sweet as I’ve finally gotten Mac asleep and I’m craving a shower and nap for myself but I think I’m only going to have time for the shower. But everything is going so well. Mac is absolutely delicious. Yummy beyond words. I am head over heels and feel […]
