He rolls over towards the wall snuggles up with his KIKI and mr Flumpie and goes to sleep. That is most nights. A few weeks ago he fell asleep early and we didnt say our prayers, he woke ...

This day in Kindergarten was picture day.  I totally forgot about it until this morning when I was checking the lunch schedule and glimpsed the picture day notice.  I ran around and found my favorite red golf shirt and khacki's for your big day.  Before you left for school Daddy pulled out his new frames, and we tried these beauties on for size.  They are perfect, that is because you my dear are perfect. So how is Kindergarten going? Im imagining you as being a big boy when you read this for yourself someday.  Maybe even a grown man, and this is what you did this day in kindergarten. You smiled just like this picture for your picture sans the glasses. Your hair was slicked to the side with gel, very young republican although Mommy is a democrat. The topic the last few days of conversation was about how cats have kittens and they feed them milk from their bellies.  You were sure to tell the candidate for Luzerne County Judge that stopped at the house ...

I woke up about 630 this morning.  Thinking that the boy would be in at any time I just lay there.  I tossed a bit snuggled up against the big guy and couldn't get back to sleep.  I figured why just toss and turn Ill go for my walk early.  So I woke Andy enough to tell him I was leaving, and to listen for the boy getting into bed. Hmm mmm. ok .. take your phone... So I tossed on my sweats, bra and a tank top.  It was a humid, muggy morning so I fi gured a refreshing walk it would be. So I got the Ipod, put on the sneakers that dont fit stuffed my junk in my bra and I was OFF> I headed down the street.  The entire route is three miles.  I am still hooked on the shuffle idea on the pod.  Music is a surprise which is cool, but then again if it doesnt suit me at the moment, ITS GONE with a hit off the shuffle button. I'm walking, walking, thinking about the weekend out the mountain for labor day.  I had a good time, nice to see everyone. ...

Right when I thought it was way too hot to come out of my room, The heavens smiled down and cooled things off. Well lets just say the heavens looked down and threw us a few curve balls. Last Tuesday, Allie, Missi, Jack, Jyllian and I went for a late lunch at a local little diner/restaurant. While sitting there enjoying our salads and awaiting a few turkey clubs-the table began to rock. Nothing too astounding since I live with a family of leg shakers-bouncers. It was a rolling table to best describe it. I suddenly felt dizzy and nauseous as if I was going to pass out. It took about ten seconds of the patrons all looking around at one another to realize... EARTHQUAKE!!!! I looked up and the lights were swaying, a slow swing.. but they were rolling along with the tables. I looked in a split second at my daughters across the table from me, my son to my immediate left and Jyllian who I love as a daughter next to him. "get out!" "Get out get out!!!" I grabbed ...

Our BABY started Kindergarten today. He woke at 6am and called me from his room. MOM, C'MERE!\ I got up and went to his room. He was all snuggled in his bed, blankets up to his chin and smiling. Yes SMILING, a real happy lets get this show on the road SMILING! I got into bed with him all curled up and warm, he wrapped his legs around my leg, put his hand folded under my chin(s) and we just looked at each other. He told me it was Kindergarten day, "I know and I'm so excited for you, my big boy" He said "lets talk about it now" I explained how we would get our new school gym uniform on which will be all cozy warm, then have some breakfast, brush our teeth, and hair, pack a snack bag and head to our school. "Then what?" You and me, Daddy and Miss Jyllian will head to the gym where you will meet all your new friends and get assigned to a new teacher and classroom." "Then I will have to leave for the day and you will stay and I wil...

Its all about The Suzie. That line was created by Andy a few years ago. He says it when he is talking about doing something for me... for example- where to go for dinner? Its all about The Suzie. What color to paint the house? Its all about The Suzie. Finding something on Ebay that I would like, and buying it, why? because it all about The Suzie. "The Suzie" Sounds a little odd in this forum, but truly life has become about The Suzie. I have had a few lifetimes packed into this 45 years. I have also found it quite interesting that my name has changed with each new chapter. Of course it began as Suzie Jones. and remained the same until I became Suzie Bailey. A turning point came around 30 yrs old when I changed to Suzanne. My given name. I was told by a boss that I respected that "Suzie does not portray to others how smart you are." hmm I'm smart? well certainly someone with the name Suzanne is beautiful, smart and lots of fun to be around. I liked...

I went for a nice walk this morning. The weather was pristine. Clear blue sky, light breeze, almost chilly. A few puffy clouds. I got Jack sent off with Miss Jyllian and I put on my sneakers, a sweatshirt, and of course the Ipod. Interesting things that happened to me on this walk to day. I don't have my own Ipod. I assumed Missi's when she got her new fancy phone which works as a pod. Allie was kind enough to load music into it for me, her music that she believed I would like. I took a gamble and put the Pod on shuffle. SO I took off down River street and the music that played was amazing. I surprisingly knew most of the songs. Dave matthews, John mayer, Jack Johnson, Taylor Swift. then there were a few I didnt know, OAR, Phish, Death cab for cutie, the postal service. As I walked the music seemed to either: 1. Move me along with it, or 2. I willed the right tune to come on. I was chugging along and reached the levee along the Susquehanna I stood there and jus...
