My middle angel, Tiara, is turning 14 today. Well, in reality her actual birthday is Saturday, October 27, but we are celebrating tonight because Tiara can only handle one day of celebration. When Tiara was a little girl we used to do what most families do for their children’s birthdays. If the special day…
Oh yeah, I did it!
You are probably going to think I am insane, but I actually like putting together furniture from IKEA. Super crazy, right? I find it a huge challenge and if I can get the whole piece together without having to backtrack, unscrew and rescrew and manage not to lose or break any of the pieces,…
Feeling bummed…
I think if you have a child who has a hard time socially you can probably understand how I am feeling right now, Left out! I could care less that my life is not conducive to meeting other families for dinner at a restaurant, or getting together on the weekends after sporting events, or meeting…
My Friday Catchall….
So I have a few new things to share that have happened this past week. Tiara has been in a shopping mood I don’t think I have told you this, but Tiara insists we go to Target everyday for popcorn and a diet coke. This has been going on for well over a month…
My hair color journey continues, I now have …..

Are you good at “sizing” people up?
I am not sure about you, but I kinda have this sixth sense about people’s personality from the moment I meet them. This isn’t me “judging a book by its cover, but something a little deeper. I will go out on a limb and say 98% of the time my initial assessment of someone…
Dave’s story: ADD, depression, heroin addiction, alcoholism and SOBRIETY!
Last week when I posted about my daughter going to a doctor for medication for her ADD a friend from elementary school posted a comment to me on Facebook. He said he supported my decision to give her meds because he was a recovering heroin addict who had suffered from ADD his whole life and…
My dog has gone insane, can I give him away?
A few weeks ago I took our dog, Bailey, to the vet because I knew he had an ear infection. Apparently looking into his filthy ears was like looking into a bowl of pudding so the doctor recommended putting him under and cleaning them out along with all the hair. This way he could…
I was having a pity party and then something great happened…
I seriously hate the feeling of jealousy. Once in a while, it will find it’s way into my life and suddenly I feel like crap about everything and I just want to give up. In the past 10 years I have noticed that all my fits of jealously revolve around design. Silly but true. …
