Update on Mom – Parkinsons – (Not Crafting Related)

August 18, 2019 by Kat 18 Comments

Mom and Kat holding hands

For all of my blog readers who have been following my mom’s progression with Parkinson’s, I wanted to post a quick update.  Her kidneys are shutting down and she can no longer be fed through the feeding tube because any liquids she gets are accumulating in her lungs.  She has a horrible cough that sounds […]

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 […]

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 […]

Good Lord! What a week!

January 29, 2010 by Kat 1 Comment

This year is not turning out to be great for me and my little blog!  I’ve spent the entire last week in a self induced semi-coma (via xanax and phenerghan) in an attempt to get through a stomach virus that my sweet son got and shared with me.  I don’t mention it much because I […]

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!

December 25, 2009 by Kat Leave a Comment

I haven’t been blogging because I don’t have a computer right now, my laptop broke and I have to ship it to Toshiba to be fixed so I won’t be doing a lot of blogging because my only internet access is from my iphone or when I go to my parent’s house (like right now).  […]

Here at Kat’s House…

July 23, 2009 by Kat Leave a Comment

I’ve been SO busy lately! We had a garage sale this last weekend which was not nearly as successful as I had hoped so I decided to donate everything left to ARC. Life is crazy as usual. My nieces are here (Dakota with me, Montana with Gramma), while my brother and his ex-wife are in […]

Questions from Tyler

July 7, 2009 by Kat Leave a Comment

As you know my youngest son Tyler, has autism and can come up with some interesting comments and questions from time to time. It’s absolutely incredible to get a glimpse into how he sees the world so I thought I’d share a couple of things that he said yesterday. *Note* This is not in any […]
