Wednesday, May 27, 2009. When You Care to Send. We all know how difficult writing is for me, don't we? So, without further introduction I present to you, dear reader, my anniversary tribute (thanks to Hallmark). Is a man of character. And does more than his share. To make his family comfortable,. Safe, and secure. Is a man who is patient,. Optimistic, caring, and wise. His sense of humor and support. Hold me up when I can't. I'm grateful for him. Is the only man. With whom I can share. For all of you who...

Our Hughes News: June 2009
http://ourhughesnews.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Wednesday, June 24, 2009. The request for permission for my little girl to grow up has been carefully reviewed and it has been found in the best interest of my sanity to deny your request.". I find myself glancing over at my sweet M and finding that I don't recognize her. While at the movies a couple of weeks ago to see the movie UP! I looked over and saw that her head was well above the chair back. When did she become so tall? Am I really her mother? That role is plenty big for me. Sunday, June 21, 2009.

Our Hughes News: August 2009
http://ourhughesnews.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
Thursday, August 20, 2009. Eight years ago on August 17th I was sitting at a desk in front of 24" computer monitor. My feet perched typically on top of the chair legs since the chair wasn't adjustable and my legs couldn't reach the floor. I was supposed to be doing something… what was it exactly? The Friday before, August 10, 2001, we had received the news. T and I had been selected by a birthmother as her daughter's future family! Could we be ready? I haven't always been the mother I want be. I fail...

Our Hughes News: December 2010
http://ourhughesnews.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
Friday, December 31, 2010. Tonight We're Gonna Party. Like I'm already 99! Did anyone except my family members get the musical reference? I'm serious. I'm staying home tonight and going to bed at a decent hour. I think I'll finish up the project I started earlier today - purging junk from my 3rd bedroom (aka the "Throw everything you don't have room for in here! Room) of all unnecessary STUFF. When I've finished filling garbage bags full of stuff that M will. 2001 - We're parents! 2005 - Sold our home an...

Our Hughes News: Warning: Very Long Entry
http://ourhughesnews.blogspot.com/2008/08/warning-very-long-entry.html
Sunday, August 24, 2008. Warning: Very Long Entry. Marianne (the front desk manager) finally heard me. I need help, something is wrong with my head. There is something horribly wrong. Is it a migraine, she wanted to know. NO! I know migraines and this is NOT one. Call my husband. NOW! In rushed everyone. My blood pressure had skyrocketed so that it would not register on a BP cuff. Cool, wet paper towels on my forehead. Closing of the blinds in the room. The LIGHTS! TURN OFF THE LIGHTS! So many I carried ...

Our Hughes News: September 2010
http://ourhughesnews.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
Thursday, September 23, 2010. Burn, Baby, Burn! It's about 1:30 am on Thursday and I am grouchy. Very, very grouchy. I'm lying on the floor of my front room, with the lights off, house alarm turned off and front door opened. I'm dying a slow, miserable death. My air-conditioning is broken. It's 87 degrees in the house. Did I mention it was 93 degrees today? On the first day of Fall? I got hot and sweaty from doing something more than sitting still and was instantly grouchy. Sorry mom and dad! Oh, and dad?

Our Hughes News: Nobody Knows....
http://ourhughesnews.blogspot.com/2010/10/nobody-knows.html
Tuesday, October 19, 2010. I Am So. Depressed. I think you all remember me pining over having MirMir. Family portraits taken by the all-time fabuloso photographer Veronica Reeve. Remember? Well, last year I won a gift certificate. For an amazing price on her blog. Mercy me! It was like a dream come true. She lives in Utah. Which isn't exactly around the corner from where I live. Some of you may not know that. I failed to find those people. The certificate entitles you to:. I know you're having sticker sh...

Our Hughes News: PLEASE Make it STOP!
http://ourhughesnews.blogspot.com/2011/08/please-make-it-stop.html
Thursday, August 25, 2011. PLEASE Make it STOP! I just can't handle it anymore. I realize I've been silent almost a full nine months on my blog, but recent events have really got my blood pressure risin' and I have to relieve the pressure or I might lose it. Wait I just felt some tremors. Really. How odd.). Anyhow. I cannot count how many stories I have read or heard recounted where people have gone OUTSIDE during this most recent earthquake. Tornado coming- - go outside? Hurricane arriving- -go outside?
