School is in full swing. Much like childbirth, during the long summer months of rest, relaxation and hoarse throat from yelling at the kids to leave you alone for 5 minutes, you forget about all the pains of the trials and tribulations…and DRAMA…of the school year. But, I remember now. I’m reminded on a daily [...]

13 Comments »If He Puts His Mind To It
October 8th, 2010 admin My oldest son. As a baby, he had sandy blonde ringlets and huge blue eyes. He was the most beautiful child. Cherubic. Chubby. Thick, dimpled legs and buddha-like belly.

February 9th, 2010 admin In my youth, I skipped a ton of school. Back in my day, it was fairly simple because there weren’t a whole lot of ways for checks and balances. Basically, I’d get someone to call the attendance office, pretty much from the payphone in the front of the school. Yeah, this was PRE cellphones. In [...]
Some Really Good Excuses As To Why I Haven’t Been Blogging Much Lately
February 7th, 2010 admin Have you noticed my inconsistent and sporadic online presence lately? Well, it’s for really good reason. Wait…what? You didn’t notice? SIGH. For some reason, things have gotten very overwhelmingly chaotic in my life. I think all my kids are going through some sort of hormonal crisis, which will be a blog post or two sometime [...]
