A Family Who Eats Together, Walks Together.
New York is a walking town. If you don’t like to walk, seriously don’t come here, you’ll be miserable. Trust me I know. The first time I came I was 16 weeks pregnant with Miss Gremlin. Grand Master D was 3 and we walked everywhere! I was pissed about it though because I wasn’t used to it, I was pregnant, …

Hola……
After our conversation friday afternoon, where the King was headed to Spain, we decided to all go. I felt so naughty pulling the kids out of school. The last time I did it to go home to Oz when Grand Master D was 6, it was such an issue that I’ve never done it again. Only traveling in the summer …
Safar, So Good
As all regular readers know, my life is anything but mundane. In fact not at all normal and sometimes not even believable. Living with the King is a never ending, anxiety invoking, edge of your seat thrill ride that is usually (but not always) all that thrilling from my perspective. Being woken up at 4 am by a 300 pound, partially …
Abnormal is the New Normal………Right?!
My life is nothing if not abnormal. We’re not your average family, we don’t have average needs and we’re certainly not average people. If you’ve been here before, this is not news. Oh how I wish we were …. The normalcy I crave is nowhere to be found. I suppose it’s an odd complaint and people will say ‘What are …

From people being lost overboard to last year’s Costa Concordia tragedy and this week’s stranded Carnival cruise in the Gulf of Mexico. They happen all the time. These floating buckets of death are proving all too regularly that you should …
Stood Up For Lunch…..And Not for the First Time.
Yesterday was Sunday, my only real sleep in, do nothing day. Being such I really guard my relaxation day. I don’t like to share. This week however The King invited some church friends for lunch. They’re not what you’d call close friends but more friendly acquaintances. It has been trying to happen for a while he said, this coming from …
The Week We Fended for Ourselves. Let’s Not Do That Again
Things have ramped up in the business and now The King has to travel a bit. That’s fine. I’m used to it, He used to travel all the time. I have been spoilt over the last few years though as he hasn’t been away for a while. Wednesday he had to fly out to LA for a week. He had …
I’m a Victim of my Own Advice
There’s nothing like having your own words thrown back in your face…… especially when they’re written. This morning’s conversation ….. King: Wanna give me one…. Me: NO, child home sick! King: We can go upstairs… Me: Ah no…. King: You said any time they want in a post, not following your own advice now? Me: Yeah whatever…I’m going to …
