A Place to Feed Off Friends

Hello, my name is Trish and I’m addicted to FriendFeed. [We love you, Trish.] I never thought I would reach this point, but confess I must. Almost five months ago, my husband joined FriendFeed and I heard of little else. I’m not a geek (a term I use with the utmost love and respect) so [...]

Things My Kids are Grateful For…

Last night, while tucking in to leftover Thanksgiving turkey on rolls, I asked the kids to name three things they are grateful for. Zack immediately said, “Ok, I’m grateful for you, Daddy and Zoe.” (Poor Seth and Sarah got shafted.) Then Seth said, “TV, my family and DS.” Sarah, ever more mature, said, “Family, books [...]

First Chair

Sarah came home on Wednesday and announced that she got first chair in the bells (glockenspiels). Then Thursday she came home and said she got first chair in the drums, too. She’s in the 6th grade band in percussion with 10 other kids. She had to audition in order to get in, but at the [...]

Internet Access / Sight Restored

Whew… I didn’t have to suffer afterall. Our internet access was restored the night before I drove home. Josh texted me while I was on the road yesterday. The drive was clear on the normal route home and the weather was beautiful. A little windy, but maybe it helped blow me home faster. We left [...]

Rainfall. Upright Trees. Getting lost.

We’re supposed to be hit by Tropical Storm Edouarde today. I like this website for checking updates. I was awake at 6:30am, thanks to Zoe and to my need to finish a book that was dominating my dreams which was making it hard to sleep. Anyway, it wasn’t until around 8:30am that the rain came [...]

Child Labor Factory

I used to mow the lawn (in League City) when Josh couldn’t get to it. Josh couldn’t get to it a lot. Our yard was much bigger back then. We thought that our children would LOVE to have a huge backyard. We didn’t factor in the Texas heat and humidity. Except for a really great [...]

Myspace Blogs

I just transfered over (copy and paste – I’m old school) two and a half months of blogs from myspace. My BFF’s didn’t want to join myspace to read them, so now they can! Check out March and April of 2007 (click on the archives on the right) and you’ll read my very first blog [...]

Free Hugs

If you have been to josh’s blog lately you will have noticed his infatuation with the Sick Puppies (it’s not just all about Emma Anzai and how she rocks the bass and goes off on stage and how she really is a very accomplished bass player). He drove to Austin with his buddy to see [...]

Hanging with the Boss

My boss took me to lunch today. She came all the way out from California! Well, not just to see me… she’s actually in the Houston area on vacation with her husband and another couple. Still, it made me feel good that she made the time to come and see me and Zoe. There were [...]

Stress Management

Got this in an email from a friend. I thought it would make a good post. If you don’t want to read all of this, just look at the picture of Zoe. She takes stress away very nicely… just by looking at her. This was excellent description of stress, and then wisdom to cope with [...]
