October

I have a love/hate relationship with October. If you can have such a thing for a month. I absolutely love the change of the season, the leaves revealing their hidden colors, the cool, crisp air, the harvest. I absolutely love the fact that the Wise Guy came into this world in October, his light and [...]

The Reset Button

Life threw me for a loop this last week when, from a small crack in the skin of my dry knees (maybe I should spend some more time on myself), formed an abscess that turned into cellulitis of the entire leg.  The leg was twice its normal size and a fiery angry red. I drove [...]

My [...]

Struggling

I am really struggling with tonight’s post.  It was a long day.  A long, long day.  Teacher conference… some concerns with Sweetie’s shyness.  Flu shots for both kids.

Can I chase monkeys around your establishment? I’ll pay you!

First of all, let me apologize for the long space between posts.  It has been a HELLISH week here.  I have been too drained, too tired, too stressed, too angry, too sad to write anything that didn’t sound like a blabbering, blubbering angry diatribe that would have made no sense to anyone.  I have come [...]
