I could complain and believe me I do
I am the first to offer up my shoe
I lived a life worth of story telling
I am the first to admit it’s quite compelling
The story of a teenage runaway come college student
The tale of how I went from rags to riches is prudent
And in between how I bore [...]

In a matter of hours, everything changed. And I wasn’t even here for it. I came back to an altered existence, a new beginning and in many ways a whole new life.
And I was gone less than three hours.
Am I being dramatic? Of course I am…I’m a poet, I’m a philosopher and I’m a Mom, [...]

Bahaha, I hardly think so. But what I did do was resume work on my book.

Hehehehe, makes me feel like a kid at Christmas it does!
With the recent 20 degree (Celcius) temps pretty much all of the snow is gone. Still on top of the pool was a sheet of ice almost an inch and half thick in some parts. Hubby went out on Wednesday evening and [...]

My daughter will be thirteen on her next birthday and has never been issued a birth certificate. Until this year, our health insurance cards need to be renewed, we’ve never before needed one.
Last year I mentioned this to my sister and she told me how she ordered her son’s first birth certificate on-line and [...]

Okay, he’s not really my duck, but he shows up in the pool every year (for the last four) in the late Spring and usually brings along his latest girlfriend.
Here I am feeding him some bread last May/June.
Shortly after this picture was taken I did some research and found out that feeding ducks bread is [...]

This post is satirical in nature so if your kids have bad habits you’re trying to help them break, you probably won’t get much from it except maybe the feeling that at least someone understands. If you’re lucky, it’ll be funny too.
