The night that Jellybean’s leg was broken was chaotic to say the least. I ushered the kids up to bed frantically as Momma took Tito to the Emergency vet in downtown Hamilton. We were definitely worried about poor Tito and about the costs that were now inevitable to fix…

Tonight, Medea and Tanit were watching some music videos before going to bed: Carly Rae Jepsen, Cher Lloyd and Lady Gaga. After dancing, and too much adrenaline (obviously) Medea jumped off the couch and landed on Tito, who sounded the alarm. Momma quickly packaged up…

Oh, the stories! [dropcap style=”font-size: 60px; color: #ffffff;”]T[/dropcap]oday, I came in from gardening to have Tanit tell me that a dog peed in the bathroom. Upon arriving in the bathroom and seeing the equivalent of two glasses of water on the floor it was clear…

Tanit says… Tanit ran into the house and was quite upset. She had been playing outside with her ‘peoples’ when the landscapers came by. She thought that they had hurt some plants (in this case a weed) when they covered the base of the tree…
