SUP?
I’m sitting at an intersection with my windows cracked and Jay Z and his friends busting out of my mom-mobile and a surly tow truck driver at about 2 o’clock from me looks back over his shoulder and eyes me. He is tatted from his fingertips to his eyeballs. I give him a traffic head…

Play date (aka when a saint offers to host your children at her house for a few hours while you are at work)
What’s new this week? Well, my children had a play date with a family they have never visited before. The mother picked them both up after school. Nerve wracking. What can my children do to embarrass themselves and me between 2:30 and 5:30 at a new family’s house? I was at work, holding my breath.…

Was v Were
Was v were. I never thought I’d be THAT mom. “Momma, I were at school yesterday and -” my daughter starts. “Was. You was at school yesterday.” I’m such a jerk. “You was not at school yesterday, I were.” Correct. I were not, you was. “No, I WAS at school yesterday, NOT I were.” My…

The February Blob
Life is not that hard. My life, by comparison to several million people, is not that hard. I still feel like I’m under a giant crushing rock lately. I’m the blob from the depression commercial. I think it might have been the Zoloft advertisement years ago. The bubble blob that drifted through life with the…

I Can’t Keep Go-Gurt in Stock
“Maybe we should go shopping tonight,” my daughter suggested as we walked in the door after returning from the after school program. “Why shopping? What do you think we need?” I asked. “We are out of yogurt again,” was the reply. “Well, it’s not my problem that you and your brother consumed 16 tubes of…

In case anyone was wondering about this, don’t ever go swimsuit shopping with young children. I mean, infants through toddlers, probably just fine. But if your kids are old enough to have a vocabulary and they know how to use it, you are in trouble. This is one of those times when I wish the…

The Light and Fluffy Pre-Holiday Recap
Hey blog. It has been awhile. So much has happened over the past 3 months and instead of happily chatting about it to the world, I’ve decided that large chunks of the time period should just be swept under the rug. Not too much damage done, thankfully, but maybe enough to close out 2017. Let’s…

The iPhone Police: Quinquagenarian v. Teenage Son
How many government workers does it take to figure out how to restrict a teenager’s access on their iPhone? I know, a new version of an old joke. I’m so scared to become a parent of a teenager. Only 6 more years. Six more years until I will live in even more of a hyper…

Non-stop!
LOL! After writing about how much I love side gigs, the only downside is that we are even more non-stop than we were in the past. Dog sitting requests are pouring in and each visitor we host captures our hearts. This week, our beloved German Shorthaired Pointer went home. She ended up staying a week…

Microblog Monday: 5 Life Changing Reasons!
One of the things that’s freaking me out right now is how much I LOVE having side businesses. I’m hoping one day that I can just become a master of side businesses and a full-time employee of none. Now if I can just get the American healthcare system to play nice with me. Five life-changing…
