In 2 days, I will face that dreaded time of year again.  No, not Tax Day…the other one.  No, not Labor Day either.
The one day every year that I want to skip.  The one day every year that reminds me how time is passing me by.  Yup, it’s the dreaded B day (man, I can’t even say [...]

Okay, so finally a year after we’ve moved into our new house, we finally bought a new microwave.  Yes, you heard right…A MICROWAVE.  Why did it take us so long?  Procrastination?  Laziness?  Just can’t find the “right” one?  Yea, all of the above.  You would think that would be one of the easier purchases when moving [...]

I had the ultimate scare the other day…my son didn’t take his afternoon nap.  I almost had a heart attack!
Yes, my 3 year old still naps in the afternoon.  Sometimes for an hour.  Sometimes for 2 plus hours (muahahaah).  But don’t be hating on me.  I’m sure one of these days he will eventually give [...]

Okay, it really irks me when you go to the “Customer Service” department in a store, and you get more aggravation than “service”.  Where do they find these people???  I’ve worked in the hotel industry for about 10 years, so I know what customer service is.  And yes, there are times you get obnoxious customers and [...]

Yes.  I am alive.  Sorry to have been MIA for so long.  It’s been a hectic couple of weeks.  Lots of things going on personally that, unfortunately, I cannot comment on at this time.  But maybe one day.  When I have the strength and courage to re-live it in my mind, I might divulge.  Now [...]

Guiness Book of World Records should be contacting me soon because I have to be the person with the smallest, near non-existence veins in the world.  Seriously. 
I dread going for blood tests because it’s always a big production.  One look at my arms and I can see the disappointment, the worry, the anxiety in the [...]

When I say my son has an obsession with all things spherical (namely balls), I am not exaggerating.  Anyone who knows me or my son well, will know he is totally OBSESSED with balls.  I think the obsession started around the age of one.  It was on his first birthday that we realized he loved balloons.  [...]

It’s strange how the weather can sometimes correlate to your mood.  Or is it the other way around?
Sunny days bring happiness and boundless opportunities.  Cloudy, dreary days seem to be filled with hopelessness and emptiness.
Well, today is a cloudy day.  A very cloudy day.  Hopelessness and emptiness…that’s how I’m feeling today.  As I sit here and stare [...]

Okay.  So I admit it.  I’m an easy target when it comes to shopping.  You know what I’m talking about.  I’m one of those naive shoppers that marketing people love.  Gimme a good pitch line and I’ll bite.  Jeans that claim to magically make your muffin top disappear.  Bras that amazingly can transform your 34A’s [...]

I am in pain.  It’s no fun to be in pain when you have to take care of an active pre-schooler.  There’s no such thing as rest.  There’s no such thing as down time.  But then again, even when I’m not in pain there’s no such thing as rest or down time.  So you catch my [...]
