Date night Weds!

Well, it looks as though we are planning on a TOTALLY definite date night. None of this ride around town for 2 hours looking for something to see. Yes, we will be driving the little 2 seater sports car...with windows down. No sir, no carseats present. I'm trying to make some plans so that we'll be able to do something fun. Movies are fun but ... not a lot of interaction you know? AND, we have a movie room so if we wanna watch a movie, we don't need a datenight. Any suggestions my 2 loyal readers? There's going to be mudcats game that starts at 7:15. That's ultra cheap, and fun. Only SOOO hot. But, definite summer fun! Plus, fireworks are possible since we're coming up on a holiday weekend. :)
I'm really excited. AND, I'm hoping to be able to have laundry caught up by then :) It's funny b/c when I get home Monday morning, I have all this energy but then I CRASH and it's hard to haul my butt out of bed!
Sethie has said "uh-oh" this week but doesn't really know the entire concept. He just says it and I love it. Today he was eating some puffs (aka baby crack) and I'd give him one and he'd say "mmma mmmmmmmma" and I jumped up and down and said "yes Sethie, YESSS." Then, in that very exact moment, he realized I really was CRAZY. About him. He is my joy of joys. I'll tell ya. Always smiling. And, after a tough weekend at work, hearing him laugh, babble and just smile..makes things sooo happy for me.
Parker Jay has gotten into this whole thing where he says, " I want to swim swim swim and play play play." It's adorable.We are working on sharing. How's it going? Well, quite frankly, depends on the day. Friday, he had to spend some time in his room alone,crying and throwing a ridiculous fit over his favorite car "boost." So, it's a work in progress. But, isn't everything?

Totally unrelated story...
So, tonight my buddy Chris walks up to me and asks if I'm scared of snakes. I said, "not particularly. Just the poisonous ones." He said, "okay, can you hold onto this for awhile for me?" And, ready? Are you ready??? Suspense??!! A SPECIMEN CUP with a baby snake in it.!!!!!!! Well, my other buddy, Barry in the CHILDREN'S Emergency Dept had it because a kid came in that was bit by it. And, they saved it because they didn't know if it was poisonous or not. So, we want to let it go.
Gotta run, lunch time!!!

Love, Kimmie

Words From One Squishy Broken Heart

Image
2/12/2025 When I was 14, my mom made me volunteer all summer at the hospital. Most kids volunteered 1 day/week. We couldn't afford summer camp or family vacations and she worked all week. I was too young for a job. She signed me up to volunteer at the hospital 5 days/week all day. All summer long.  I delivered flowers and cards to patients. I sat with patients in the cancer center and kept them company while they were getting chemo. I helped people sit up to eat, and I took family members from the lobby to patient rooms and back again.  It was the summer between middle school and high school for me. I was overweight, lacked self-confidence, didn't play sports, read a lot of books, and spent a lot of time in my room by myself drawing, reading, listening to music, and dreaming.  I came home crying every day about the patients I saw. Every single day broke my heart. I will always remember what my mom said to me one day after being a little annoyed with me for crying again. S...

Love Lessons

 2/14/2025 Today the world seems to be on fire with love. Commercialized, dipped in chocolate, flowery, and fragrant love. Loud and noisy love. On fire love. Shiny. Polished. Expensive. Calculated.   I'm thankful for the love that is none of those things. Because I stopped settling for that top and most outer layer of it, the love from a distance kind of love.  Instead, I look to the love of the friends I'm so fortunate to have. The ones who show up for me when things are messy, emotional, tired, sweaty, stinky, sticky, unprepared, scared, and brave.  The friends who can get sassy and dressy and go out to a nice ticketed event but know the real me is happy in jeans and a t-shirt, with fake pearls and mismatched ribbon shoelaces. The ones who love me and show up for me despite what an inconvenience it is for them to do so. For friends who have shown me what it means to show up. To be present. The ones who make me feel like my broken heart is perfect in a world he...

What does it take to write?

As you can tell, it's been so long since I've posted. For some reason, it always takes something pretty big or eye-opening to get me still enough to write. The stars all lined up tonight and I decided to login and post again. Have any of you started email accounts for your children? I have about 3 journals upstairs, tattered and torn, exhausted from moving around from box to box. In them, I have letters to the kids. I was really good about writing to the twins when I was pregnant with them. I wrote about the things that scared me and the things I hoped for them. I wrote about how I felt, what I ate, and even ordinary things that being pregnant with them changed. I told them about how it felt to tie my shoes sideways and how I required pretzel nests of pillows in order to sleep. I even kept up with writing to each of them for awhile after they were born. But, as luck and life would have it, sleep became harder and harder to come by and my priorities shifted. The other night, I...
