Griffin

It was Thursday afternoon. He was home around 5pm. K was with him. I was chatting with them and he filled me in on how his tests were going. 14 tests, 9 subjects. BRU. TAL. ZOMG. He was late. I had had a “morning”. It was a crazy morning. I couldn’t sleep so I was […]

This college application season was different from Sam, still a little harrowing, but ultimately turned out exactly what needed to happen. But it was still a journey! G applied to colleges in November. That was an adventure. He was auto admitted to Cal State Fullerton, which I only found out because he posted it to […]

Oof. Typing this up the evening of his 18th birthday. We played some Taco, Cat, Pizza… something all together. Yay, Sam is home! We then played two rounds of Overcooked. Then he disappeared up to go work on his Evite for his birthday party. 18. Wow. This literally was the culmination of a barrage of […]

Three week old car. Runs over a curb. Completely flat tire. $330 later. Child needs a new job. I mean, he did UNDERSTAND he was driving on a flat tire but the ap would STILL be helpful to VERIFY that PSI in the tires. Even if he does know he has a flat tire. LMAO. […]

I had this journal in my head about writing up G’s colleges and I couldn’t believe I didn’t do the same thing with Sam! But I did. It was just sitting in drafts. College application season and we are 90% of the way there with 7 results in out of the 9 applications. It’s a […]

18 years of Halloween for G!

Long story short, G and I were in the car on a Sunday morning hunting down an Urgent Care to go to. Nothing “urgent” but something that needed to be taken care of and it was impossible to do with regular normal doctor working hours and G’s recent schedule. It was kinda funny, the urgent […]

Ooh… this video took two months to create. Maybe longer? And then patiently waiting for the right moment to launch it so all your friends can see what a bad-ass you are. I did have to wait until Sweeney Todd was finished. And when I was in town. And when we actually had 10 minutes […]

A few months ago I started to dive into my obsessive scanning of old videos, photos, and notes from the last 17 years. I can believe my youngest is a senior but it just makes me cry to listen to all his sweet voice on some of these old videos. While I am wildly impressed […]

My son, bless his heart, is truly one of a kind. The 4th of July turned into quite the adventure for him and his friends. They decided to head to Newport, drawn by all the buzz on TikTok about a big party. Yes, I asked and that’s why they went. Because TikTok told them so. […]

The baby has his first job! I’m actually seriously impressed, they showered him with 5 different tshirts, a beanie, and a hoodie. And his name tag! He had orientation and then his first training for 4 hours. He will officially be helping bag groceries, stock the shelves, and do all sorts of helpful things there. […]

I’m putting together Griffin’s senior montages. I basically did his School Days in about an hour. I found the best song that I love for it. But I need to wait until August because I want his final school photo. But… I just went back and watched the sibling montage I did. I don’t even […]

At 5:30AM I wander into the garage to start my workout. I woke up at 4:30 and couldn’t go back to sleep so finally struggled out of bed at 5:15. It’s dark outside and I can see the cloudy sky through the garage window. I hate turning on the lights in the garage because the […]
