I was thinking about what I wanted to write today and the memory of me at 11 years old on the 4th of July, kept coming to mind over and over again, so I decided why not share what a freak I was. I grew up in Newport Shores across the street from the…

Where is all my stuff?
If you have a teenager living with you, you understand the title of this post. Where is my stuff? Why is it that teenagers are smart enough to find everything they need of YOURS but can NEVER remember how to put anything back where it belongs? Hummmm. I guess they “just forgot”to return it…
Everyone just leave me alone…
I am having one of those days again and I just want everyone to get the hell out of my house and leave me alone. That would be heaven, so rude of me, but true. I dream of the day my house stays clean all day, no one complains they are bored, no one…
The best thing about Dad’s…
How cute is my Dad? So cute, love the tie and the aviators. Sometimes I think women today don’t realize the importance of men and Father’s in their children’s lives. So many women work, take care of the kids and even more, to the point where they forget that kids need Dads and…
We got the stomach flu…..
Wednesday night/ Thursday morning Tiara woke up at 1am again. She kept making her usual demands, ipod, movie, crayons, pictures but then she started coughing. Oh crap, I ran to the cabinet and grabbed a towel. When she coughs more than 2 times in a row it means she is going to vomit. …

And her new place to color is?
As you can see, Tiara has taken her art to a new canvas, my walls, my doors and my kitchen cabinets. Last night when Lou came home I said “Hey, did you see the walls? Look what she did!” His response, ” So what, didn’t you do that same thing at 3 years old?”…
You have to take your medicine!
If you are a parent, I am sure you have had to administer the dreaded oral antibiotics that taste disgusting once or twice to your child. As you know, it is not fun or pretty. Sometimes it takes bribery and serious coercion to get the medicine down. Well, Tiara has to take 17 pills…
Someone please explain this new trend….
I have been wondering for months why is it I see as many dogs in strollers as I see kids. I am not trying to be rude, but the whole phenomenon is totally baffling to me. When we bought our dog almost 6 years ago I was an avid watcher of the Dog Whisperer…
