It's officially monsoon season at my house. I say my house, because the north end of town has been getting monsoon rain for a couple of weeks now. I've been jealously watching the black clouds pass over my house and dump all of their rain on Aimee. Rain Here! I tell them. But no, they circle over with empty promises and give their blessings to someone else. So I was so elated today when it began

I want to post, but don't necessarily want all of FB to know that I posted. Also, I don't want to share photo use with them, as they changed their policy recently. So I'm no longer automatically importing my posts to FB (hopefully). We'll see. :)Yep, it worked! So now on to posting! But not until later - It's 3 a.m. :)

Some of you have asked why I sometimes use the name Anah.Who is Anah? Why does she Rock? Does it refer to my daughter Ana?Contrary to convention I'll answer the last question first.Does Anah refer to my daughter?No.And there you have it.Anah came into "existence" long before Ana was born. Also before Jack was born. But not as long before.She actually started out as Ana Ng, the name taken from the

A big thanks to all who expressed interest (some of it great) in reading my blog! I've been encouraged by you all to post more regularly and keep you updated on my joys and frustrations, success and failures, my goals, hopes and dreams.Hopefully along with my interests and what I'm doing I'll post a bunch of photos - which I take anyway and never seem to post.Please check out my links if they

Since I rarely post, and people even more rarely comment, I'm forced to conclude that nobody reads my blog. So I'm considering not posting anymore in the forseeable future. This blog would turn into a place for me to keep all of the other blogs that I check on and links that I visit. So, if you do read my blog (when I post), please comment on this, and I may reconsider my decision. Thanks, It's

In trying to edit the scribe html (which I've never done before) I've accidentally deleted all (or most) of my links. I'm so VERY sorry! I am trying to fix it as soon as possible, but with my limited knowledge it will probably take a few days, or weeks in the worst possible scenario. Also, Unfortunately, I don't remember all of the links I had. However, I have a sneaking suspicion that I will

JACK Turned 5 On May 6th! He is growing up so well and turning into a wonderful, joyful, obedient, very tall boy. He's as tall as the kids who turned 5 last year. He starts kindergarten this year and he's so excited! He asked for a Star Wars cake this year, and it was the easiest birthday cake I've ever done. I made the cake and the frosting and Joseph decorated the chocolate pan cake with black

Right, so,  lately it's so quiet on my blog....sorry about that. I've been busy with the kids and Joseph and I've been mostly lazy with blogging, having wasted my blogging time on Facebook. But now I'm caught up with friends and relationships have been resurrected and established. So I feel less lonely now, which makes me happier to do my housework and do the mom/wife thing. Joseph's Spring

One year ago today I was in a lot of pain. Some time in the night I had taken Tylenol PM to help me sleep. Later, I used a bengay-type topical ointment on my stomach. That night I slept soundly for about three hours. The rest of the night I laid on my stomach in strange half on the bed-half off positions.I spent the morning between my bed and the bathroom - I thought I was constipated. Somewhere

I've been busy, and I have things to post, but that's for another day. Right now I'm just tired of looking at that wonderful giraffe print bag. I'm going to finish more of the Christmas presents for the Masts while Ana is in bed (not pretending to nap) and Jack is at a friend's. If you've noticed, I have been around, making changes to the layout, etc. of the site.Also, if you know what a Teah

Now that I've gotten Twilight out of my system and fall is here I've been feeling the urge to create something. Mostly to sew something to wear. I've also been wanting to buy clothes that look really good on me (I found a new website www.myshape.com) but unfortunately they all cost upward of $50. And we are a poor college student family right now. Also with the economy slipping ("society is

If, like me, you love the Twilight series, please support Stephanie by buying a hardcopy of the books here.I'm going to buy them because I really can't be tied to the computer all day. And I want to be able to take them with me in case my palm pilot battery is low. Also, I just want to be able to curl up on the couch with these great books that I can't stop thinking about. Even though I wake up

I've recently discovered the Twilight Series by Stephanie Meyer. I read the first 3 books in less than a day each. The fourth is taking me longer, mostly because I've gotten sick of being lazy so I decided to pay attention to my family and my house. I did read the first half today and get back up to par with my house. Tomorrow I'm afraid I will have no time for reading. I'm co-hosting a dinner

Anah is 3 months old today. She is already scooting (has been trying and getting better since she was born) - she pushes with both feet to move forward -, smiling, laughing, talking, all the things that 3 month olds do. I'm sure most babies only three months old don't scoot. Today during pilates group she rolled from her back to her tummy. She's been rolling onto her back for a couple of weeks.

Katherine Anastasia Elizabeth Petersen has finally joined our family.Jack looked at her right after she was born and said "I love my baby sister."Even though labor lasted about twenty hours, I spent almost all of it at home. I had Ana about twenty minutes after I got to the hospital.She has dark hair, big dark eyes and an olive complexion. (Very different from Jack who was pale with red hair).

So once again, we find ourselves with a gaming group. yay! I still like our old group better, but I am happy to be gaming again. We just ended a campaign; it lasted only about 4 weeks. As individuals the characters were good, but as a group, they didn't really have any reason to be together. Also, and more importantly, their skills and attributes didn't really work well together. Hopefully this
