Blurb

I can't tell you enough how much I'd love to be brilliant! To see myself as cool as the other kids with 50+ comments or even somewhere around 10. I'm not complaining...well not about my commentors. About my lack of brilliance is more like it. What do I know? Not much outside the life of raising a 3 (almost 4!) year old and being married to Mr. 1-up (pretty much anything I can do...and some things I can't...he can do, AND better!). My memory rotted away the instant Miss Fabulous was born. That's all I can remember. And I do try to comment on other blogs but I have a huge case of commentboxophobia which translates into I have every intention of commenting but everything that gets typed in turns to unrelated, not even funny bursts of whatever that I delete it and leave with my head shaking in shame. It doesn't help that I'm a stranger to most people. Those that know me would be like, "Well that's Kate" but strangers would be like, "I'm for sure going private now...weirdos." So all in all I'm not brilliant and not all that great to read, but the people that know me like me and that's cool enough for me. IYQ2. Peace out, yo!

Ha ha, I love getting comments on my blog too. My friend Kellie and I were just talking about how it's kind of rude to look at someone's blog and not leave a comment. It's like un-friendly.
About the preschool thing, I have been thinking about it all week. Brooklyn wants to go to school so bad! And she definitely needs something like that. But my only heartache is having to teach, what is it, twice a month? I'm in school full-time and I'm not like one of those super-Moms who can do full-time school, teach a portion of preschool and keep the house clean. I can barely get through my classes and my house is a bit of a mess most of the time. But I am thinking about it. I think the preschool thing is a great idea.

I often don't comment. Its a time thing for me. I want to have time to read all the blogs on my list, and still take decent care of my kids, so I read via an RSS feed (which doesn't always have a link for comments so if I want to comment I have to click over to the actual blog, scroll down and then click on comments.)
I also often feel stupid commenting, so if I have nothing relevant to comment with I often don't comment at all.
Don't feel too bad. I have been blogging for almost two years and its still a big deal if I get ten comments. Usually I am lucky to get five.

I look at my sister in laws blog and she has at least 30 friends listed and everyone leaves comments! It makes me feel like I should not even blog, but Then as I talk to people, they are like, I love your blog, some of them I had no idea even knew I blogged! So keep blogging because I love seeing the new photos!!

so..you think you are bad at commentig...well your aunt Sid has that up on you. I never can even get the stupid comment thing to leave the message and if you get this one then it is a miracle. I think you are funny and delightful to read so just keep doing what you are doing. Tell your mom to get one going. She should have some great pics.

OK... so I have to tell you a secret that only brilliant people know.

"Brilliant people hardly EVER knowt hat they are BRILLIANT."

It comes with the territory and since you are newly brilliant - I thought I would help you out. I miss chatting with you. Could be that I want to talk to you in the mornings but you don't want to get up at 1am.... LOL! Or that I fall asleep at 9pm and you are barely having dinner! LOL

DARN! We will have to figure out this time thing. I have been so tired lately. AND - Trying to get a LOT of stuff done makes it even worse.

Chat at you later - and leave a simple comment - that will help you get started.

Reverting Back

In 2006, we moved to Hawaii.  I started this blog that year.  I blogged as an outlet and a way to keep in touch with my family across an ocean.  It was far simpler than sending out individual or group emails loaded with as many pictures as emails would allow back then.  I might even still have copies of those emails, tucked away in some folder somewhere.  Blogging became a way for me to make friends, or feel like I had made friends.  I followed other blogs and, occasionally commented...but I’d say odd things.  Not on purpose. The comments make perfect sense to me, because they are coming out of my head and there is a thought pattern or connection.  People that know me would be able to make the connection.  Other bloggers...other people, they don’t know me.  They didn’t know me.  I was just the weirdo making odd comments on a random post.  I lived for comments on mine.  Usually it was my mom, she never missed a post and oft...

Summer Fade

 Summer is drawing to an end. We have traveled to AZ and UT. Played far too many video games and watched entirely too much TV. Workbooks were provided by myself with incentive to anyone who finished would get a large prize...no takers. No mom school this year...that may be a thing of the past with all these kids growing up.  John announced his retirement for next year and we are on the hunt for a place to finally settle into for next year. Nearer to family sounds great. New England has a lot to offer too. Our money will stretch a lot farther in a LCOL area like Iowa or Ohio. We do love being near the ocean or water and did love Alaska. This is going to be harder than I thought. The kids are going back to school and, since we live in SoCal now, we will continue to experience summer. I'm still not sure what MissFab is doing this year. Star started her Sophomore year of high school and she is nearly a week in. She has changed her schedule and is already ready to be done with scho...

Nearly 5 weeks...

I've been told I need to update the blog so here are several pictures of little Star. She is now just over 11 lbs. and just shy of 23" long. She is just a bit big. Miss Fabulous was nearly 4 months old before she got as big as our Star! She is fun and really cuddly. She really loves to eat (thus the big size!) and sleep but seems to be wanting to be on the move. John has dubbed her "Scooter" because she is never where we put her. She rolled over from her back to her tummy the other day! Still not great at night...sometime she just wants to be awake, but last night she slept 7 hours straight and I'm hoping its the beginning of a trend! Miss Fabulous just LOVES her little sister and is always trying to help. MF is doing a little better in school with a lot of help from her teacher and some from us at home. We are starting her in a program at school where they help children deal with transition, which seems to be the biggest part of her problem. The progr...
