Friday, December 5, 2014. In Defense of My Daughter's Birthmother. It's been quite some time since I've posted here, but I've recently had some experiences that have really pissed me off and I need a place to vent. So anyone who might still be checking in on this blog periodically is in for a treat? Or at least a surprise. How many does this make? Or "Hasn't she figured out where they come from yet?

Starting Over: November 2013

Monday, November 18, 2013. Pippin: A Magical To-Do. First, I will commence by saying that clearly, I am not a professional reviewer of anything. My review is my own opinion, uneducated though it may be. Second, I will not. Reveal the "secrets" about the show, by which I mean all the wonderful surprises that happen throughout the show. If you want to know about all the amazing tricks, athleticism, jokes, humor, etc., you'll just have to go see it for yourself. Third, I will. Is coming to the Kennedy Cente...

Starting Over: An Evening with JT (And KW!)
http://katesgotanewlife.blogspot.com/2014/07/an-evening-with-jt-and-kw.html
Sunday, July 20, 2014. An Evening with JT (And KW! Several months ago, I received an email from my friend Kyle which read, "Justin Timberlake is coming to Baltimore July 14th and we're going. Have a nice day." So I thought, "Well, I guess that's that then." I emailed back to say, "Ok, but I don't know anything about his music" and in short order, three CD's arrived in my mailbox. Here's what I know about Justin Timberlake:. So, there you have it. But one of my favorite things about being friends with...

Starting Over: Saying No. And Yes. And No.
http://katesgotanewlife.blogspot.com/2014/04/saying-no-and-yes-and-no.html
Tuesday, April 29, 2014. Saying No. And Yes. And No. There was a show on TeenNick playing today at Wegman's in which a tweenish boy has a hard time saying no to all the people who ask him for help. He doesn't want to disappoint anyone, yet at the end of the day, he can't possibly finish everything he's agreed to help people do. Yet, he lives in an internal world plagued in torment of his own making. Of blank pages staring back at me. She's cool with that. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Picture Windo...

Starting Over: Soap
http://katesgotanewlife.blogspot.com/2014/06/soap.html
Wednesday, June 11, 2014. This normal looking package of soap has had me in tears all morning. It is one of the last things I bought my husband before he died, and the first of his bathroom items I'm actively going to get rid of. He told me just before he died that he needed soap and obviously the package was so fresh, he hadn't had time to even open it yet. So why can't I stop crying? June 11, 2014 at 8:04 AM. Because you love him. And this was beautiful! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Starting Over: Lots of Happenings!
http://katesgotanewlife.blogspot.com/2014/09/lots-of-happenings.html
Monday, September 1, 2014. I start every blog post with "It's been a while", but indeed, it has again been a while. Life has been CRAZY. So here's the latest:. 1 Leah starts kindergarten tomorrow. I'd like to say more about that, but my heart is absolutely breaking into a million little pieces and I can't stop crying about it. I'm trying to toughen up a bit, but this is going to take some getting used to, to say the least. 3 We are hosting an exchange student from Belgium! 6 Our garbage disposal died....

Friday, March 21, 2014. Vegas, Kids, Tips, Tricks. Probably the number one comment I've heard about our trip has been, "I'd never have thought of taking my kids to Las Vegas! But now that I've seen your trip, I can see how it would be so fun! So I thought some practical advice might be in order in case our trip inspires you to take your kids to Las Vegas. 1 Make sure you have the right kid or the right parent for the trip. 2 There are lots of bargains. Secondly, children 4 and under are usually free to t...

Starting Over: Big Update
http://katesgotanewlife.blogspot.com/2014/06/big-update.html
Tuesday, June 3, 2014. I haven't posted anything about this to Facebook, nor have I told anyone but my closest friends and family that my life will change dramatically in 2014. I am about to have a gastric sleeve done, God willing by the end of the month. Have you lost weight? Six years ago, I lost 80 pounds. I felt totally different, I felt physically great, I had energy, I could wear cute clothes, my body fit into seats and bathrooms and people held doors open for me and looked at me and treated me...
