Loren has returned home. I feel much better now that he is again bugging me every ten minutes about when exactly I will get the hell off of the computer. Although he had a great time, saw wonderful things and experienced amazing activities, I prefer it when I have a visual on him at all [...]

Some days are merely a test of wills wherein the last man standing is the strongest. Today I am still upright, but it is only because the toddler goes to bed at 7 p.m.
Why is that toddlers are so content in creating and existing in chaos? Why does he have to open every closed door [...]

Today I spoke with a friend I have not chatted with in a very long time. She was always the Single Friend who had ample amounts of income, accessories and vacations in her line up. While I truly love my life and would never want to BE anybody else. There are times when I have [...]

So many people can likely blog tipsy, but not me. No. That is N. O. as in the biggest way ever. And that is me typing with one eye shut and aiming at the keys, pirate style. Argh.

Whenever one of my children moans and groans about one child or teacher in particular, I tell them that no matter where they go to work, live or play, there will always be that one pain in the ass who makes their lives difficult. The best way to deal with this, I tell them, is [...]

Two weeks ago I woke up on a Saturday morning and just could not bring myself to step on to the Effexor rollercoaster. I hade been taking 37.5 mg for two weeks at that point. Sure it perked me up and kept me moving all day, but it was just too much. My eyes would [...]

I don’t think I can take it. I am not made for this sort of abuse. I don’t know how it happened or exactly when, but Devon is Satan’s Spawn. It’s true. He can now open all the doors in our wee home. This means he can freely enter the bathrooms at any time and [...]
