AWESOME: Getting together with a gaggle of friends for a “Christmas Cookie Exchange” party. What is a Christmas cookie exchange party you ask? It’s a bunch of women getting together to visit, catch up, laugh and just enjoy each other’s company. But we don’t come empty handed. Oh no. We show up with 6 dozen [...]

Hi There

It’s been awhile. And now it’s been so awhile that I don’t know how to catch up.
I missed my yearly “Thanksgiving” post. Which isn’t to say that I’m not thankful, it’s just been a little crazy around the Nickel bunker.

Why I’m irritated, and in no particular order:

Everyone (except me and one child) is sick. And not just a little trifling cold. I’m talking about one kid who has the croup that requires breathing treatments with a nebulizer, and others who have the flu that has them puking up their guts (I won’t mention the [...]

What would you do without my inconsistent and yet TOTALLY fascinating and enlightening life updates? I don’t want to find out the damage THAT could cause so, here you go:

As of last night, I’m back in the swing of volleyball. I was looking oh so forward to it. Summary of the game? CRAP! I played [...]

So Deep

The question that has plagued people for centuries: If you’re feeling nauseated, do you fight it, or just let it flow?
This weekend I fought a good fight and won! But did I actually win or just prolong my suffering. I’ll never really know.

I know you’ve been hoping for one of my “Things I’m Grateful For” lists. Because you have searched, pondered and prayed, I’m bringing one to you again, in no particular order:
THINGS I AM GRATEFUL FOR:

Meeting a kindred spirit… A thoughtful and loving man named Mr. “N”.
Amazing parents who are the best examples any daughter could [...]
