Happy Festivus
Today is Festivus, a holiday created by the great Frank Costanza of Seinfeld fame. One great Festivus tradition is the Airing of Grievances, and so I thought that might be a good theme for today’s blog update. I actually feel … Continue reading
Suckville
I don’t usually write things that are all about me – I’m sure my personality comes through with what I write but mostly I don’t like to share too many of my deep, dark secrets. But today, I’ll break my silence … Continue reading
Hangover

Superstitious
Last year began with a hospital stay. On New Year’s Eve 2013, I took Gracie’s gloves off after daycare and her right index finger was red and swollen. Since she didn’t have a wound on that finger, I thought maybe … Continue reading
2nd Hospital Stay of 2014
We are on day 4 of our second hospital stay of 2014, the third stay in 6 months. She has cellulitis again from a bite wound on her finger, the same one that always gets infections. We were supposed to … Continue reading
