This month has been CRAZY!  The last few weeks have really got me spinning... kinda' like I was in the middle of a hurricane, oh wait!  I WAS! And possibly even a tornado.  What the DOODLE?  Long Island does NOT have these weather extremes usually.  Oh, and did I mention we had a pretty big tremor from the earthquake in Virginia?  Just what is going on here?  I was so happy to get away and go on that dream vacation to Hawaii that we waited so long for.  Not even paradise could keep me…

Hello everyone!  Boy did I miss you guys while on vacation for the past 10 days!  I don't think (even in my busiest times) that I have ever been off DK as much as I have during these past 10 days!  I have missed many posts and TWO YAPPY HOURS!!!   I have to admit, I did peak and got to comment a bit  during the early mornings while waiting for 'the boys' to wake up and late at night....it actually worked in my favor that there was a six hour time difference (well 3 hours for you…

OMD!  Why is it that when poor Tori lays down to rest or sleep, everyone needs to go over to her and disturb her!  No matter what, "someone" will pass the poor girl and poke or prod her.  They'll start petting her, lifting her ears, whispering sweet NOTHINGS in her ears!  Yes!  She IS cute while she's sleeping (of course she's cute when she's a wake too), but WHY do 'they' feel the need to have to tell her that while she is sleeping?!  'They' think it's hysterical how 'they'… Continue

So where else does one turn to vent than to those ever so caring doodle friends who are always there with open arms and hearts.... many of you know I am so anxiously awaiting a dream vacation to Hawaii. (one that we have been trying to go on for 18 years).   Just as I was feeling so bad that we are leaving Tori (in good hands) for 10 days, my older son decides to take my mind off those worries by coming down with a FEVER!  YUP... 2 days before we have to fly 13 hours.... my 18 year old… Continue
