Ruined


 Our first planned day at the lake was ruined by a broken toilet that took ALL day to fix. And then after we packed the car and hopped in with our suits on and lathered up with sunscreen....the transmission blew on my car.  Not what I need right now. 

Today is not going well. 

We coped by eating as many popsicles as we could. 


Devestation ensued. 
The day was ruined. 
My car is ruined. 
My warranty expired two weeks ago. 

Not good. 
I'm so angry that all I can do is mope and sleep.

Her 5th Year



My sugarplum turned five last week. 
A busy, interesting, and wonderful year.  
We started her 5th birthday almost like we started her 4th...with a tea party after school, some playground and ice cream, and a cozy family dinner. 








Her birthday present was a big girl's bed. Complete with homemade pillows in fun fabrics. 
And she loved it. 

Life is sweet. 
And so is this little cupcake.

Good for the soul




I did some painting these past few days with my little. 
Her skill astounds me, but I admit it's hard to teach a 4 year old how to paint in watercolors. 



It was good. Real good. For my soul. 
The problem with painting is that I always want to give them away and not keep them for myself!
These...these I'll keep. 
They remind me of the spring and happiness to come. 
Love to all...

Spring wishes



This time of year is getting hard to bear. 
The snow is starting to wear on me. The grey horizon. The cold, cold nights. 
I wish spring was knocking at our door with its fresh green buds peeking through the soil. 
Not yet, sigh. 
It's not time yet.

Another year, Another tear



Happy birthday to me. 
A glass of wine, Mad Men season 6, and up til 0530 bawling my eyes out. 
Sigh.

This sums up the past few weeks: 










Happy new year!
