Bree and I are in the 11th row, front and center, for the Cheap Trick/Boston tour. A Fuckin' A!
Rockin' for you, babe.

It's been relatively quiet here in LJ land because it has been quite the opposite in real life. Here are just a few things that have been going on ( Read more... )

Today is Bree's 17th birthday. 17. Damn. Grandma Rosie, my mom, got her a sleep machine (for white noise since she has trouble sleeping) and a tuxedo vest Bree wanted. Grandma Monica got her two books and a dvd on writing screenplays taken from Bree's wish list. Howard and I got her a limited edition Linkin Park t-shirt, a custom made scarf with ( Read more... )

Howard and I just returned from a lovely weekend away in Connecticut because Bree was away on a school trip to Pennsylvania. She rode horses and went bowling while we gambled and lost a small bit of money at Mohegan Sun Casino and I bought some lovely beads from an amazing shop called The Art Garden in Mystic Connecticut.

We have survived Bree's 16th birtday party. It was a lot smaller than I had hoped with about 25 people showing up but she had a great time and that's all that matters. I am most ready to pass out.

It seems like just yesterday I was taking this tiny 6 lb 4 oz bundle of preciousness home from the hospital. Today that same bundle turns 16! Happy Birthday, my beautiful girl.

Overall it's been a blast delving into her musical tastes and rocking beside her. I've come to love ( Read more... )

I'm going to start this post by saying that Bree is just fine. Now. She was derping with her friends earlier today and fell and hit her head on the concrete and was seeing spots. She was taken to Nyack Hospital. I was called. She missed the bus home so off to Nyack I went. In a thunderstorm. Got to hospital only to find she'd been dishcarged (WHEW ( Read more... )

It has been a very busy but somehow restful weekend. Bree now has some sort of ick that makes me think she will be home tomorrow. I have a ton of paperwork to complete but I'm allowed two paperwork days to complete it. I've already taken one but I'm definitely taking the other tomorrow. That way I can do what I need to and still keep an eye on Bree
