I made it! After missing three days of school last week and finding myself in a position of having a massive amount of catch-up and an exhausted body… I made it through the week… in one piece. It’s a new Continue reading I made it!
A few years ago, soon after my separation, I met a wonderful woman who became a great support to me. She made me laugh… A LOT… and usually at her own expense. You see, Kary has a way of getting Continue reading My friend’s friend… Sheila Nabb…
Ever find yourself in a marital rut? Suddenly realizing you’re being taken for granted. The house isn’t clean enough, supper isn’t good enough… nothing is ever done right or on time! There’s nothing worse. Sometimes, you get so wrapped up Continue reading Mrs. Parliament’s Night Out…

The tree is coming down! Fact is, I put the thing up too early but I wanted it there for a party I had on the 10th and while I wanted it up early, sadly, I wasn’t ready for it Continue reading Oh Christmas Tree…
It started with the sugar angel. The Damn Elf, tipped over the sugar bowl and made a mess on the kitchen counter… but the kids got a kick out of it! I’d seen it online a few days before… this Continue reading Damn Elf…
I don’t think Facebook was necessarily singling me out to be mean…but the fact is, by the end of the evening I’d been so beaten down I could hardly breathe. It’s this new “Timeline” thing they’ve come up with. Every Continue reading Facebook Timeline…
