Am I nostalgic today? Thoughtful? Full of feeling? Certainly I am. I am and I am.It's "Spring Break" and raining. Mr. Kaos is away on a 12 hour business trip. Stupid. K is home with me and has already asked if she can have an all day PJ extravaganza. I said yes. Sure. No problem … Continue reading friends…
chalk it up to love…
Today my mom, who's been staying with us for 2 weeks, went home. Sigh.Tap tap tap.Sigh.I can't express how different things are when Nana's here.

Last night as Mr and I sat smooching and holding hands we smiled looking at our weddings bands... yes we are that crazy... We marveled at how pretty any shiny they are, well okay I did, he probably thought something very manly. As we sat there pressing our rings together, like we sometimes do, we … Continue reading rings…
