Where Do We Go From Here?

It has always been one of those things that we didn’t need to worry about right now.
It was several years away. Then it was just years away. Now it is only months away.
It = High School.  God Help Me.
The way it works here, as I am assuming it is in most places, your public high [...]

Pretty cool if I do say so myself. It was a total fluke.

Its A ???

Meet the newest member of the Casa de Mar clan.
 
This is Myrtle. As in Myrtle the Turtle. But Myrtle is actually a African Sulcata Tortoise.

I Couldn’t Ask For Anything More.

Thursday and Friday were half days at school for parent teacher conferences.
 
My girl is adjusting well. Her grades are good and she is happy. What more can we ask for?

Cluster Fawk

Yesterday morning I tried calling the doctor to get Noodle in. (She has been sick for two weeks and to the doctor already once and Urgent Care already once) I called at exactly 8:00 a.m. when they opened. They told me they could see her Thursday afternoon. WTF?

Ramblings.

Yesterday a friend was out running errands and came home and found her husband had passed away.
She has a heart of gold and I am heartbroken for her and her family.
This caused me to toss and turn all night long last night.
I just can’t imagine what they are going through.
It saddens me to know that [...]
