Back to Reality
What’s Jack up to? Jack’s being Jack. Chilling after a weekend of well… chilling. Yeah, his life is good.
Me, I’m recuperating after the busy weekend with the DH and the Dear Twins. Thanks so much for all the well wishes on the DH’s birthday and all the support on the Borders True Romance post this Saturday. It was great and so nice of you all.
Today it’s back to writing, editing and the mom, work, drive grind although a little time to luxuriate would be nice.
Best,

2 Kids A Dog and a giveaway
What’s Jack up to? Why Jack is helping me make new friends on this here internet. Way to earn your keep Jack.
I’d love to introduce you to Alexia and her family from 2 Kids and A Dog. Alexia got in touch with me after checking out my blog and seeing that we have so much in common being that I have 2 kids and a dog too (although mine are considerably larger. College soon ouch). Alexia is an American mom now married and living in Rome. Cool huh?
Well, I went to Alexia’s site and fell in love with her wit and humor. Seriously she had me practically falling off my chair laughing at her family webisodes.
Meet mom here:
And watch some of the funny here:
And go here to check out the rest of the cool family and laugh some more.Alexia is giving away one of her fun calendars to a lucky commenter and as a bonus I’m throwing in 2 romances from my overflowing shelves (yeah the DH will like this giveaway a lot).
So comment away. The drawing well be held on Wednesday evening (um sometime before I conk out for the night. 11-ish?) Sounds official huh?
Best,

Skool Dayz
What’s Jack up to? I suspect that Jack is just as tired as I am after this non-break Spring Break. I mean his life is pretty much one long Spring Break and Spring Break for him is just like mine. Busy time with the dear teen twins.
On this break though we were all quite busy indeed. As I write this post on Sunday night, I’m exhausted and happily full off of Nana’s delicious Easter dinner. But part of the exhaustion came from the week with the Dear Twins. We did the first of our, I’m sure many to come, college tours going up to Ithaca New York.
Now that they are juniors in high school it’s time to seriously think of these things.
Yes, the days I’ve dreaded coming for years are finally here. Preparing twins for college. All I can say is, Lord, it’s all on you… in so many ways.
But now it’s Monday and back to the grind of school and writing (I hope plenty of writing. Twins, college. Hello.) and day to day life run around. I’ve got plenty to do and even more on my mind as I’m sure many of you do too.
Here’s wishing you a wonderful and productive week.
All the best,
Kwana
Now Who’s The Fool?
Happy April Fool’s Day!
No real jokes here except perhaps on Darcy who was sure he’s get a yes. Ouch.
Who will you be fooling around today?
Me it’s back to the busy Spring Break with the teen twins. Why is there is no spring break for moms? I’d like that.

What’s Jack up to? Jack has been in a world and I do mean a world of trouble this weekend. It’s like he knows we’re super busy so he’s reverted back to puppy pre-toddler stage and has been going, yes ,that kind of going all over my house. Just yesterday he whimpered at the DH and when he took a minute too long to jump up to take him out, Jack turn around in a huff and promptly peed of his foot. Bad dog, Jack.
Thanks so much for all your kind words on the DD’s dance recital. She did a wonderful job. I was really so proud of her. Here are a few not quite clear (sorry) shots but they portray the itense mood of the night.
Speaking of intense moods… It’s spring break here so I’ve got busy week with the teen twins at home. Hmmm…
Best,

Driving Miss Daisy
What’s Jack up to? Jack is feeling a little neglected in his new blog home. Sorry but it’s been unavoidable this week. Why?
Because I’ve been Driving Miss Daisy aka the DD.
And yes, there’s way more drama in my car with the 16 year old this week than there was on the big screen. If only I could put on the, ” yes’m Miss Daisy I’ll be gettin right on it” persona that Morgan Freeman did I’d be fine but , no, that ain’t happening. Just not my personality.
It’s dance benefit week for the DD and tensions are HIGH but at least the show goes on. The DD is working hard and dances so beautifully. I worked the door last night helping out with some other moms for the community performance seating some of the special needs attendees and I was happy to get a sneak show peek. Breathtaking. Yeah, I teared up. More on that later.
I’m so sorry to be kinda MIA in the comments world. Thanks so much to Jax for pitching in with the Avatar /Gravatar question for me while I was hanging in the ‘Car O Drama’.
Wish us luck through 2 more nights of performances.
Best,
Kwana
