Fun. So important to have and often hard to find as adults, unless shots of Tequila are involved. My sides hurt by the time I dropped my son off at school this morning. He has mastered fun. Granted he’s only 15, so there’s not a whole lot to worry about, but he is a fun…
You know those scenes in some movies where they speed everything up and the sun rises and sets and the cars race by and the people look like little ants? The ones where they’re showing the passage of time? Sometimes I feel like I’m in one of those scenes. I try to slow it down…
Michael has a garden. Tomatoes, peppers and this season…strawberries. Four different kinds. He has vines planted on one wall of the side yard that has become his “space” and we just bought a great table for potted plants and tools. It’s starting to come together.

I must have four full bottles of Spray n Wash, the refill size. I’m on this crazy cleaning spree lately and part of my assault includes the cabinet in my laundry room. Everything came out, cabinet wiped clean and everything went back. Holy crap, I have a lot of Spray n Wash. How did that happen?…
“Have tos” by my definition are things that must be done no matter what else happens. Some are required, but still fun and others, not so much. When you work and are married with three children, you never need worry about feeling wanted because 95% of your life is occupied with “have to”. I don’t…
Andrew sends me a text today that he saw a piece on The Today Show talking about how cursive handwriting is moving out of schools. He asked me what I thought. It’s safe to say I sort of lost my mind all over him. He’s used to it. I was texting with a fervor that…
