This morning as I was backing out of the garage taking our little one to daycare, my husband waves and then tells me to look out because Jane (made up name) is behind me. One of our daughters has a medical appointment this morning and her Mother has come to take her to it. […]
R E S P E C T As Aretha says…find out what it means to me! A few days ago one of our girls asked to borrow the sweater she got me for Christmas. She’s trying to branch out, wear things more dressy to school which for this daughter is […]
What to do…..what to do… I remember when I was in High School…trying to figure out what I wanted to be….what I wanted to do with my life. First let me say that in my birth family I never remember there being any discussion about whether or not I was going to […]
I’m sitting here tonight upset. I’m not even fully sure why. But I think it has to do with pettiness. I’m pretty sure it’s pettiness. It’s either that or being less than truthful…sort of two faced if you will. It’s either those things or it’s irresponsibility. I’m not sure. You be the […]

Used to be…Day happened, girls came home, sort of forgot about it and later they would bring home an order form, 2-3 poses, […]
I had a German Shepard dog named Sophie and yesterday we had to have her put to sleep. She made it almost 12 years. She had developed long term chronic kidney disease and ultimately they failed. She became unable to eat, wobbly and weak. It was help her or watch her literally […]
Man I hope not but maybe we can tell a lot about ourselves by our choice of television programming if we think about it. Why are we interested in the programming we like? Let’s take each of my family members…barring my oldest son because I really no longer know his viewing habits and I suspect they […]
