My youngest daughter Disney has a cold, so lately, she’s been waking up every hour (at least). So my sleep has been totally interrupted, which, for a person like me, is not good. I’m barely functioning. My body aches, my head pounds, I have no attention span, no patience with anybody, and I’ve been very […]
When I stopped at the gas station the other day to get the kids a snack, there was a “little person” working the counter – is that the preferred term these days for someone with dwarfism? I certainly don’t want to insult anyone, so pardon my ignorance… So anyway, I decided to give my kids

I read a news item a few weeks ago about Shawn Brim, a bus driver in Washington who stopped his bus, got off and adjusted his side-view mirrors, and then proceeded to punch a nearby McGruff the Crime Dog in the face! What was he thinking? He thought it would be funny, he said. Understandably,

About a year ago, I had a blog post called “The Mayor And The Macarena”. It was about my family’s first roller skating outing (it was a birthday party for the Girl Scouts organization), and my post was so titled because our county’s only roller skating rink is owned and operated by the town mayor.

I am very glad we were able to arrange our obscenely busy schedule in such a way to be able to see the play The Lion In Winter on Saturday night. A great friend and fellow blogger, Jamiahsh was a sucker kind enough to babysit all four kids for us, as this was not a

About 2 years ago now, we found out a “family secret” about my husband’s aunt’s husband, Uncle Marc. Marc is in his 40’s, and 2 years ago, he was arrested for having an inappropriate relationship with his teenage neighbor, which is alleged to have taken place between 2002 and 2006. The story made front page
I found the following story amusing. Lots of people have tried to impersonate the police, but this one is noteworthy because of the impersonator’s age, his lack of bad intentions, and the fact that he was so successful at it – seems this 14-year-old worked an entire shift as a cop, including a role in

What sets him off? Everything under the sun and even the sun itself. I’m talking about our lovely scarlet macaw parrot. I would not recommend these things as pets for ANYONE – it’s true when they say that wild animals cannot be tamed! Why we have our bird is a long story, and it’s not

For date night on Tuesday, we really enjoy going to the movie theater, and this time we were between the movies Frost/Nixon and Push. We actually decided to see Frost/Nixon, but we messed up on the movie times and ended up arriving after the movie had already started – so Push it was. Push is
Today my son is 8 months old – how time flies! Gone are the days when I could cradle him like a newborn baby and sing him to sleep. There is no better way to relax than that, and I really miss it. Yesterday when I was in Walmart, I literally almost cried when I
