A Change Of Course
Posted by: LSM on: March 20, 2008
The tides turned both literally and figuratively for our last day in Belize. After all the stress of Gym Girl’s encounter with the barbed wire fence last night, we slept in this morning, relaxing and hanging around the condo for brunch. Her leg looked pretty good, considering, and we cleaned it again with hydrogen peroxide [...]

Gym Girl’s screams took Adventure Guy immediately away from my side as he ran toward her down the beach. I couldn’t imagine what could have happened in the few moments when she’d run ahead of us on our walk home from dinner. Had she stepped on glass? Twisted her ankle?

Head ‘Em Up; Move ‘Em Out
Posted by: LSM on: March 13, 2008
I’ve consoled myself over the past two days with the fact that preparing to go on vacation now is far easier than it was even a few years ago. At least I can count on both girls to pack for themselves. I also assigned Dancer Girl to help Soccer Boy pack yesterday afternoon when they [...]
Vampires and Werewolves and Swimsuits, Oh My!

Last Spring Break I’d been hunted by a vampire, too. I hoped this wasn’t some kind of tradition forming. ~Bella in New Moon
Last week when I went out of town for work, I decided to take along the young-adult vampire novel that seems to be all the rage with teens lately so that I could [...]
