2009: A Year Of Learning

Well, I guess I should be out there partying like the rest of the world tonight but I’m just too tired.  We all are.  We have been a lot of places this past week and it’s been fun but enough is enough already.  So we are relaxing at home and I have to say, it’s [...]

Home Again, Home Again

As of today, we are back from our trip to NY.  I’m really tired but we had a great time overall and Rye did really well. Shockingly well, to be honest, because we had an incredibly l.o.n.g  “planes, trains & automobiles-esque” travel time to get there due to some bad weather and this was hard [...]

First, I got my test scores back from the standardized test I took for the teaching/grad school program to which I recently applied.  I studied relatively hard for the test as I was worried about passing and ended up scoring in the top 15% of all test takers [...]

I Love You Millions

Dear Rye,
I know you are struggling right now.  The past couple of days have been rough and your mind is on overload.  And yet you are pulling through it.
I can see you are pulling through it.
I know you are struggling with school.  Just when you got really comfortable with Mr. Wonderful, the secure and relaxed [...]

Here Comes Santa Claus

Well, apparently things are looking good in Rye’s world these days.
He got up the other morning and told me he had a great dream.  He dreamed there was chocolate milk everywhere and he was drinking it with a 14 karat gold cup.  As much as he wanted.

So funny how his world gets translated.  But it’s [...]

In case you have not seen it already, the article in question is from the New York Times on December 11, [...]

Ooof…gorgeous but bitter.
Seriously, who wants to live like that?  So beautiful and yet so bitter.
In that, I’ll take the truth [...]
