Vodka Mixed with LOLZ
One of the perks of having children is that everything old is new again. Like when it’s 2012 and they tell you they want that new BonJovi song “Wanted Dead or Alive.” At some point this summer, the boy one … Continue reading
Yesterday was My Tuesday
One day, probably a Tuesday, I woke up in a foul mood. I have no idea why. I contemplated my mood briefly and found no reason for it. Of course, once you’re already in a bad mood, it super easy to … Continue reading

Are you a traveler or a homebody? I am both. I love to travel, but I do require downtime. I can get downtime while I travel, too. I love to explore and experience new places. My current lifestyle involves accommodating … Continue reading

SoCS — And Now This?!
Moo recently discovered that the local elementary school, the girls’ former elementary school, no longer allows walkers. Even the kids whose homes are literally across the street. No matter how close, no walking! I imagine this has to do with … Continue reading
Dutiful Wife
This is the story of how my day was ruined by the mysterious disappearance of my navy blue pants. Nothing quite so tragic had befallen me since The Pillow Incident of 2015. We were about to go away for our annual … Continue reading

The Presence of a Man
On Saturday, I dropped Sassy off at the American Legion Mall, “Are those your people?” “Yes.” “Get out, vite! vite!” I put the hazards on and double parked to let her out, and then I drove around to find a … Continue reading
