Haha, don’t you worry Lindsey, I do a lot of that too…and calling the electric company to report it…then calling back to the automated system every 15 min to get a status update! lol.

I bought my graphic from vectorstock.com and then added the recycling tattoo on her wrist (to match mine!) and the peace symbol in her bubble. The rest of the header was designed by me. I am by no means a graphic designer, but I know my way around illustrator and photoshop

Hi Kat! Yes, the little monkeys do tend to take their toll. I remember the good old days of lasting till the wee hours…most nights now I’m lucky to see 11:30!

I hopped over to your blog. I’m glad you found me too. I think you are right. Just from a quick read of a couple posts, I got very teary. You are an incredibly strong and loving women for sharing so much of your loss with your readers. I think it is important (as you’ve likely seen from some of my posts) to help others who may suffer from hard times and tragedies.

Just connected on twitter too

Thank you! Yes, I don’t know what I would do without mine!

Ya..our power goes out all the time. It is super annoying. I don’t think I would be blogging though.. I would mostly just be sitting in the dark griping about how the electric company annoys me! haha! Btw, I love your graphic, who made it? I am always interested in finding other creators of vector graphics.

I like the dark as well… and these days, I have to agree with Sarita, I’d probably sleep! Three little ones have sucked the life out of me!!! Glad I found your blog – from a quick glance I feel like we have a lot of common interests, so I’m looking forward to reading more!

Thanks for the visit! I have learned to relax a little more with it. Last time it happened, my hubby and I found a deck of cards and poured a drink.

Wow, ya I don’t think I would have the patience for that either. I am a tech junkie, but I actually held onto my flip phone until just maybe 4 years ago. It worked and was very reliable! Though, I don’t think I could ever go back now…

Ya, it’s such a change in how we do things! And it’s not just when the power is out. It’s standing in line, waiting at a doctor’s office, etc. It’s like I can’t really stand down time anymore – I NEED to be connected

I love to sit in the dark! Blogging, I don’t do! Sleep sleep sleep! Hopping over from SITS
