Welcome! My name is Kat and I'm the mother of 4. Rachel is living with a universally terminal illness called Juvenile Batten Disease. Rachel, Julie, London, Boston and I are doing everything we can to suck the marrow out of life and looking to raise money for Batten Disease Research. Watch us make the most of the time we have.

At 3pm today this family is going to build a bear. John and I were trying to decide upon how much it will cost us and we figured about $50 bucks a kid. I think our total will be $180 because I have a $10 gift card.
4 bears and an outfit for each bear = ??? What is your guess?
Answer: $200!!!!

I got another tattoo this weekend. This one is visible as I ALWAYS wear my hair up and is the Japanese symbol for Tsuma (wife). And my tattoo artist is still very hot.

My beautiful little girl is turning 5 in a matter of days and we are having her birthday at Par Tee in the next town over at an indoor miniature golf place.
On her actual birthday we are going to take all 4 children Build A Bear. This upcoming outing has bought me a lot of leverage with Rachel with her persistence with being late every morning. Today will be day 4 of being on-time and that is a total miracle!!

One of the Moms was pondering why there seems to be a slow down in blogging. I think it is mostly to do with the instant gratification that comes with facebook and twitter. At least that is the case for me.
I have decided to make more effort over here and return to the purpose of this blog: To journal about my life as a mother and write down important pieces of their childhoods that I seem to forget too quickly.
Today was a half day for the girls (Julie gets out at 1115 and Rachel at 1230) so I shared a fantastic lunch with Julie in the shop filled with strawberries, watermelon, banana bread and low fat cottage cheese. She is such a cool kid. Right now we are shop sitting and waiting for Rachel, John just left for a service call and listening to the Charlie Brown channel on Pandora.

The weather was great and the kids played outside for hours. We ate at home like Kings and took a long walk to get ice cream and walked home on the beach. ‘Twas the best Sunday in months!

Apparently the app works, I had to upgrade WP for it to work.
I have been having lots of dreams recently with people from my past and some from my present. I hate the weird feeling I get when I wake up.
I’m quite content having forgettable dreams, thank you verah much. LOL

I got to do a little bit of volunteering at the girl’s school, Monday was a day off (snow day) and the strawberries are delicious and on sale at our little grocery store in town. How does life get better than that?
