I was not present for the events that transpired today, they occurred while the children were out shopping with my ex-husband and his parents. In many ways I am glad I was absent because if I ever find that Vanessa bitch, I’ll kick her lousy ass. And I’ll enjoy it.

Every now and then one or more of my children will get a bit lethargic and stop moving in hyper speed, slow down their incessant chatter and get all snuggly. For a few hours this is heavenly. I can take a load off, relax and not switch gears every few seconds to answer a question [...]

Today I give up. I lost. I am done. I admit defeat. A double boy visit at the doctor resulted in a strep throat diagnosis for Devon and a sinus infection for Loren. Our local pharmacy is was knee deep in incompetence this afternoon which resulted in a nearly two hour wait for the many [...]

My oldest son, Loren, finds this wildly entertaining and can watch it again and again. I crack up watching Loren crack up over it. We are both very sophisticated.

For many people Monday is the most dreaded day of the week, but for me I have come to harbor some serious anxiety over Tuesday. Every Tuesday Devon and I kick off the day with his weekly occupational therapy appointment. His OT is a lovely woman who has an enormous, if not infinite, well of [...]

When it comes to being a mother of a teenager I like to think myself a bit more understanding than some of the Other Mothers. Loren was born when I was just 22, a mere child when you really stop and think about it. Most of the O.M’s with kids Loren’s age are at least [...]

There are not too many moments that roll my way where I fancy myself to be suave or cosmopolitan. Sure, from time to time I might string a few words together in such a way that I make somebody laugh during a conversation, or every few months I manage to put myself together in such [...]
