How to Embarrass your 15 year old son…

January 16, 2013 by Kat 2 Comments

Apparently it’s not “cool” to ask the waitress at Red Robin if you can have “extras” of the little doilies they put under your bowl and on top of the plates so you can use them for scrapbooking!  It’s “EMBARRASSING MOM!”. lolhe Tyler hurt himself again yesterday skateboarding so he stayed home from school and […]

A Driggers Family Update

October 14, 2012 by Kat 4 Comments

Ginger and her bear :)

It’s been awhile since I posted again…I just can’t find the time between running Kat Scrappiness and regular life stuff going on.  Last night I had a dream and I believe it was a visitation type dream from Ginger 🙂  It was SO REAL!  I’ve been missing her a lot lately and while Abby is […]

Updates in our lives…and great news about Kat Scrappiness!

August 29, 2012 by Kat 1 Comment

First let me apologize for not updating my blog more often but I have been so busy with Kat Scrappiness that I haven’t had a chance to breathe much less scrapbook or craft!  Things are going great, much better than I could have ever hoped for and I am so grateful to all of my […]

I’m still here!

July 21, 2012 by Kat Leave a Comment

I know I haven’t posted since losing Ginger but I wanted to let everyone know that I’m still here but have been keeping really busy.  Abby went through a tough time after Ginger passed, she started chewing at herself and we had to “cone” her which didn’t work out very well but we brought my […]

A few new cards to share and an update on life at Kat’s House

May 4, 2012 by Kat 4 Comments

Hi all, I have a few cards to share with you today as well as a very quick update on the family.  Things here are going slow, taking it one day at a time.  Justin is doing fairly well and is still on the suboxone treatment program but is getting ready to start an intensive […]

If Not Now Then When?

January 25, 2012 by Kat 1 Comment

That’s what Justin’s new tattoo says.  The meaning behind it has to do with getting sober.  So, last night we went to get Justin a new tattoo and even though Tyler had an ear infection/the flu, he went with us anyway.  The boys got along so well and it was such a pleasure to be […]

A Miracle for Justin and THANK YOU to everyone from Kat!

January 10, 2012 by Kat 32 Comments

On January 7th I was awakened by the police at my door telling me that my 19 year old son, Justin was in the hospital in Idaho and was in serious condition.  I called the hospital and the doctor told me that his heart stopped and that he was dead for five minutes before they […]

My Baby is Leaving Today :(

October 6, 2011 by Kat 2 Comments

Lord, help me through this day…my oldest son, Justin is moving to Idaho today to live with my brother and sister-in-law (and nieces) and while I believe this is the best and safest place for him (besides rehab, which he is refusing), I’m terrified to let him out of my sight.  I trust my brother […]

What I’ve been up to lately…

September 14, 2011 by Kat 4 Comments

I am so sorry I haven’t been blogging much but things have been busy around here!  On a personal front, Justin hasn’t been doing well at all, he had a bad relapse and your thoughts and prayers would be greatly appreciated right now.  (Thanks in advance).  Tyler is adjusting pretty well to public school.  As […]
