Morning Email

Have you ever had one of those dreams where someone you know does something that pisses you off in your dream and then you wake up and you’re still pissed off even though you know you’re being irrational? That happened to me last night. And here’s the email exchange between Tucker and me…because I can’t… Continue reading Morning Email

What If?

Since I took the easy way out by posting the pictures of the kids, I figured today I would write a rather uninspired but timely post about Tucker leaving for Drill today and the niggling [possibly] irrational fear I’m feeling since it’s been snowing.

Santa’s a Sham and Tucker Does Everything Better

You… Continue reading They Must Have Switched Places

Mandatory Fun

The hotel was a good distraction from staying out in the… Continue reading Mandatory Fun
