reading time: 3 minutes Living and Learning I am a big believer in trying to find a silver lining or lesson in everything that happens in life. That’s my way of trying to make something good of situations and experiences that are often anything but good. Sometimes those lessons are positive; sometimes they aren’t. But […]
reading time: 2 minutes This is what I do during the REALLY long studying sessions I have every day. I crudy. The rest of the time I cread and cratch (prounounced "crotch"!). I am the Multifaceted Mama, and a multitasking one, too!! My husband, however, refers to my hobby as "crotcheting" (promounced "crochet-et-ing"). He's hilarious. […]
reading time: 3 minutes The pain and anger of it all… I haven't written in months… I just haven't been able to. I lost my baby in May and I haven't been really all that into life in general since. Some days it is better than others, but most days, I am just angry. […]
reading time: 2 minutes Yesterday my eldest went from ink virgin to tatted up. While I don’t see him becoming as inked and steeled as I am and will be, I foresee more in his future! He went first, but I got one, too, an admittedly unusual mother/son bonding experience! We started our day […]

reading time: < 1 minute But only for the weekend! We haven’t seen him since the day we moved him into the dorms near the end of August, so it has been TOO long! So, gotta cram in the love in the short time we have before he goes back tomorrow! So, a few pics,… […]
reading time: 2 minutes It’s only Wednesday and I am ready for the weekend, which is probably NOT a good sign, huh?! I blame it mostly upon the juvenile delinquents that live in our neighborhood and a sexist pig in the form of our Slum Lord. It all began Thursday afternoon after school. I […]
reading time: 2 minutes Botox is not for me! I have determined that, no matter how wrinkly I may get, botox will never be a part of my life. How did I discover this? Last night, while sitting on the couch watching Glee with Donovan and Ashley, something apparently bit me on the left […]
reading time: < 1 minute What the blog?! Sometimes I truly think my blog is possessed by gremlins. A few months ago, overnight all my plugin files disappeared from my server, making my blog function about as well as I do at 0515 before coffee. That is to say,… it didn’t work. This morning, I […]
