School starts for my kids in 1 day 10 hours 3 minutes and 2 seconds. And you better believe they going to school. I’m THAT mom. And you better believe they’ll be AMI (virtual school) by the end of September, not by my choice. Bet. I see and acknowledge every SINGLE point of view of […]

Taking pictures with friends and (some) family, printing off said pictures; is important part of life. Like, of course not the most important part of life, but I LOVE looking at pictures of the past. When I was a kid, in high school, college, with friends, marriage, our kids and all the randomness in-between. After […]

Well summer is coming to close….but it’s the south.  That really means nothing other than periodically a few cooler days, then blazing hot, humid air, then when it gets closer to Christmas the weather people mention a chance of 32 degrees and moisture….all of our milk sandwiches are off the shelves at the store. But […]

The inability that my people have at closing doors and leaving front door and garage door open is pretty impressive.  There is a considerable amount of distance between the two, so I can give them that but, for the love of all that is holy and our electricity bill, CLOSE THE DOORS. Oh I can […]

AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH it’s been too long. I was reminded by this, when I received a yearly withdrawal from a checking account on the side and a nice overdraft fee, because I apparently haven’t put enough dough in that account. So here I am, with a reason to type.  The overdraft fee and the reminder I have […]

Last week, came down with the sore throat, bull shit crud, everyone seems to be getting. Went to the doctor after a pity party and lots of whinnying. Steroid shot? No.  (I have a crazy reaction to shots…like you know, fainting. Or sheer panic) Steroid pills? Now we’re talkin. However, these steroid pills must have […]

Ahhhhhhh the holiday season is upon us.  (i.e. Thanksgiving (thank God that one is over), Hanukah, Kwanza, Christmas and the New Year.) For some, this time of year really sucks.  Because, you know that one F word, Family. Or that B word, Brother, or that S word, Sister, or that C word, Cousin, or that […]

Halloween is approaching.  The kids are super excited. I’m the parent that will give a 110% to going to as many doors and neighborhoods it takes, just to get my child’s pillow case to an acceptable level of candy. This is my time to show my kids the potential I have as their mother. Here […]

I’ve been craving for fall weather, AND my friends, it is finally here. Well, I say that loosely.  I do live in the South. It has literally been 70s degrees in the morning and by the day’s end there is a foot of snow before sun down.  This happened like in the 1980s, but still, […]

Since we have neighbors now and they are in fact friends and facebook friends…I must be mindful of such posts. Not that they aren’t awesome.  Because my neighbors are stellar. It’s just that they may or may not be mentioned in my blogs.  It’s kind of a given. This hood is a hoot! The countless […]
