of my childhood home. Where I spent years 0 to 18 1/2. Why? Because yesterday morning this was going on- It was on fire. Sadness enveloped me when I read the email from my cousin. At first I could only remember the things about my brothers throughout the day - mainly stuff that was not so funny then...

You know how people always say that if your palm is itchy it means you have money coming your way? Well I never understood this because my palms are itchy all the time and all that comes my way in the form of money is a ten cent Euro coin laying at the bottom of my bra drawer. But last night I was t...

The cancer my mom had about a year and a half ago has decided to grow back.  She has two growths and surgery on Thursday to hopefully remove them or as much as they can remove.  I'm just hoping she won't have to undergo chemotherapy again.  It was really hard on her the last time and ...

When I was a kid growing up I always wanted a dog. Every year for Christmas and for my birthday I'd beg my parents to let my sister and I get a dog. And every year my mother would reply, "HELL TO THE NO. THREE KIDS AND A HUSBAND ARE ENOUGH." My dad always wanted a dog but m...

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! I know I'm a little bit behind with the holiday well wishes but, well I've been busy and important. My Turkey Day was great. It was totally chill and delicious and just what I needed. Some of the highlights were the stuffing and teaching my...

So today was a little bit rough for me. I guess all of the traveling and all that goes along with that caught up with me. So I decided I deserved some me time. When we were in NY my MIL brought out some slides from her wedding. AHA! I spoke as I was thinking -"I have a photo scanner that will s...

Today I got up, took the man/boy for his last exam, came home and started looking towards my future. I am worth my time. I have narrowed it down to one school I just need to make contact tomorrow and get the ball rolling. CJ is challenging the whole parent in charge here lately. The answers I expect...

If only I had 8 tentacles. Oh and the elasticity of Mr. Fantastic from the fantastic four. I could finish up all my work in no time - I'd be organized in hours instead of days upon days. Grasping at things from all different angles. Someone said to me the other day, "you are so organized",...
