Living out loud in the Carolinas

  • I tell you what, I have felt so blessed in the last few days.  First I had my knee surgery and came home to an answering machine & mailbox full of get well messages.  My MIL met us up at the surgery center.  She stayed and kept CSP company while I was under the knife. …

  • My 17 year old sister Momo’s dad remarried about 8 years ago  His wife, B, has 2 kids.  The daughter is a junior (or sophomore) in college & the son is 22 & lives with his girlfriend.  So Momo has had step siblings for quite a few years.  Well today, Momo’s step brother didn’t wake…

  • Today was Olivia‘s 3rd birthday party. I took Jake & Joey and we carpooled with Candice, Ellie, Maggie & Charlie. Gigi met us there. I’d show more pictures but as you can imagine, they are mostly of children, and I don’t want to put kids’ pics on the internet without parental consent. After the party…

  • Morgan, my sweet little sister, is turning 18 (omg!) in April & is graduating from high school in May.  Then in August she will be going away to college.  All this makes me ill.  She is my little sweet pea and I love her so much and I just want to put her in a…

  • The circus is here. And it just breaks my heart. I certainly won’t be going and won’t be taking my nephews or giving the circus money. I refuse to fund animal cruelty. Want to see what I’m talking about? Click here then click on Ringling Brothers & Barnum & Bailey to see why I boycott…

  • I have so much to tell y’all. I have this “to blog about” draft with a long list, but other things keep happening and I just don’t have time to get to it all! My camera & I have been v.v. busy the last few days. First, on Thursday I went to visit with Shannon…

  • Friday the 18th was Molly’s 2nd birthday and Joey’s 3rd birthday! Saturday night I went over to Sara’s house for Joey’s birthday dinner. . It was a smallish affair with just family and a couple close friends and their kids. I wanted to make growth charts for the boys’ birthdays but Sara said she wanted…

  • Saturday was more than just a little outing for my mom & I . We were celebrating her birthday as it is the 12th and I was supposed to be in Baltimore and she will be out of town. I brought over her presents and we opened them before we got going. I made her…

  • I’ll be just fine. Today I went with my Mom & a friend of her’s to go see Body Worlds at Discovery Place. It was amazing. I mean really, mind blowing WOW amazing.  And packed.  Crowded.  Which was good.  Everyone should see this.  I learned a lot.  They had these audio guides that you held…

  • As I mentioned in my last post, my nephews Jake (almost 5) and Joey (almost 3) received a set of those battery powered trucks. Joey is still a little too small to operate his so he rides around with Jake at the wheel. It was the cutest thing ever, seeing this little demo. The two…
