I’m getting ready to head to Portland, Oregon early this afternoon and it’s going to be a busy weekend as I have a conference to attend in downtown Portland, a booksigning Saturday night in Beaverton at the Borders, and then my oldest son has a two day water polo tournament at the T-Hills pool in Beaverton.

Unfocused
I confess–I’m not the model of productivity right now. I’m alarmingly unfocused and when I do sit down to write, its hard to write. It’s like I have clouds and cotton balls in my head instead of brains. I keep wondering if this is perhaps a side effect of hormones? Can lots of estrogen and […]
Mac The Monkey
I saw my OB this morning for my 8 month check up and when I mentioned how I was feeling and what I was feeling (like the baby’s dancing on my cervix) the doctor requested the ultrasound machine and did a quick check, and yep, Mac is breech. Those crazy little spasms aren’t my imagination. […]
Bugs, Babies & Boys
The boys have a bug and I’m not sure if I do or not, or if I’m simply exhausted from flying. I noticed when I returned from Jefferson, Texas in January that I was really tired for about a week, and so I’m thinking I’m just tired from flying pregnant, but its hard to say. […]
Quick Trip
By the time you read this, I’ll be in Palm Springs where I’ll be speaking to the Palm Springs Pi Phi alums tomorrow and then meeting my mother’s friends in her new Palm Desert community before hopping on an early flight home Tuesday morning. My youngest son Ty is going with me while the older […]
Happy Valentine’s Day
I’m so glad Valentine’s Day falls on a Saturday this year. This way we can be relatively relaxed all day and then celebrate tonight as a family. I’ve always thought of Valentine’s Day as a family celebration, not a couple-thing. Maybe it’s because my family always celebrated as a family, with a special dinner on […]
A Good Day
It’s a good day! I slept soooo good last night–woke only once or twice–and slept right until the alarm went at seven instead of up at four and then at five and then at six. The carpenters are back, putting on the trusses today for the boys new room and bath (we had to add […]
Beautiful People
It’s been a week of challenging circumstances and life stories. Not necessarily in my immediate world, but with friends and neighbors. To protect my friends, I can’t share details. But I will ask everyone to continue thinking not just positive thoughts, but compassionate ones, too. We don’t always know what’s happening behind the scenes, behind […]
Blah & Bah
I’m slightly out of sorts today. I don’t know why but everything just feels harder. Like getting off the couch. And getting a good night sleep. My back–which hasn’t been a problem at all–started to go wonky on me these past two days and I’m a lot more tired than I remember being with my […]
Way Too Much Info
It’s been an exciting few days with the inauguration ceremony and activities as well as Martin Luther King holiday. It’s also been an emotional few days. I actually was caught crying in the mall on Monday afternoon. Yes, there I was, outside the Lego store sitting on a bench in pregnant glory and a lady […]
