After my post last week, “why isn’t anyone helping me” I received many different comments and words of support from readers, but so did other members of my family. People in our community contacted my family members to check on me. Friends contacted friends all with worry about me. Through this process, I have been…

Why isn’t anyone helping me?
Wednesday morning Tiara and I drove Trinity to school and on our way home Tiara was holding my hand. She started sinking her nails into my skin and I pulled my hand away and said “stop, don’t hurt Mommy.” She then grabbed my hand again as I was turning onto our street and once again…
Hmmmm. what else could break?
As you all know Tiara is very rough on everything, especially furniture and screens. At this exact moment I have three windows without screens, compliments of Tiara attempting to escape out of them and I have 3 broken chairs. Not to mention the drinking glasses, plates, picture frames, vases, end tables, televisions, dvr players and…
Why do I always do this?
As you can see from the picture Tiara and I are wearing matching outfits. I do this almost everyday without even thinking about it. I get dressed and then I pick out her clothes. I guess I just put her in the same stuff I am in the mood to wear, so we end…
Is it bedtime yet?
I have been waiting for bedtime since 2:00 this afternoon and I still have 7 hours to go. UGH! I am writing this on Saturday afternoon and am so over my weekend I wish it was Monday. I know I have said it before but weekends are treacherous for me. No schedule, no routine, a…
The wife of a salesman…
Ohhh, I forgot what it was like being the wife of a commission only sales consultant. UGH! I now remember why I was so happy when he finally became a manager fourteen years ago. When you are a manager you make a percentage of everything sold, so even if the dealership has a slow month…
His last day and a new beginning…
Today is my hubby’s last day of selling Mercedes-Benz vehicles. For the past 18 years (with the exception of a 6 month stint at a BMW dealership) Lou has been selling Mercedes-Benz cars in some capacity. He has been a salesman, a trainer and a manager for fourteen of the 18 years . Most everyone…
Enough is Enough …
Today I am posting about something that affects everyone in our society. This topic touches everyone who has a child, grandchild, niece or nephew. What am I talking about and why: The rising epidemic of drug overdoses among our children. Last week I received this email from a friend who is a Emergency room physician…
Do you decorate spooky or sweet?
Do you decorate scary for Halloween or make a cute fall display with hay, smiling jack-o-lanterns and gourds? I use to do the latter but a few years ago I got tired of the “perfect” Martha Stewart fall look with the stacked Cinderella pumpkins, and so I switched to scary decorations. The switch didn’t cost…
We found it!
Yes, we finally found my phone once Lou got home from work last night. I showed him the spot in question and he said it wasn’t stuck in the ivy but over the fence. Thank goodness. He walked over to the neighbor’s but she wasn’t so he called her and left her a voicemail. I…
