  • 2019-04-16 Tuesday Two For One – Random Rant

    (Spoiler Alert – Angry Parent Rant accompanied by a sad Parent Moment ahead)… It’s Tuesday and We are back to our normal routine. The morning drive to school, the balancing act between work and everything else, and of course daily contemplation about the universe and my purpose in it. My mind did not rest easy…

  • 2018-12-04 The Terrible Twos Days

    It’s been a really long tine since I’m had a child that was two and suffered from terrible twos tantrums. For one thing, I sort of recall that three years old was worse and for another thing, my darling daughter is 16 and still suffers from emotional outbursts. Now, however, they are hormonally driven and…

  • 2018-08-17 French-Toast Friday

    A few days ago my darling daughter initiated a game called “get to know you better”. In the game we take turns asking each other questions that reveal more about our character and through doing that we get to know each other better. There are two amazing things about this.. 1. She’s 16 and most…

  • 2018-08-14 Transition is Always Tough

    Yesterday I took my kids shopping for school supplies. It was an effort to get them to face reality – school starts this week (today for C and tomorrow for Z).

  • 2018-07-01 Holy Shit, It’s July

    It should come as no surprise since 1.) Yesterday was June 30th and 2.) It’s felt like July for weeks now. I haven’t done any biking or tennis this year at all cuz it’s either too hot and humid or it’s pouring down rain. Is this Nebraska or some jungle deep in the heart of…

  • 2018-05-19 Eleven Week Meetup

    It’s a rainy Saturday afternoon. I’m at the gym trying to work of a big lunch. JS an I were talking last night about the foods we used to eat when we were young and in HS and college and it reminded me of my very favorite thing ever (or was a hundred years ago).…

  • 2018-04-08 This is My Blog and I’ll Rant if I Want To

    I’m not gonna sugar coat this. My ex-husband is a supreme douchebag. My gawd.. it’s good that my BS threshold is so high, otherwise I’d probably have been pushed past a breaking point way before now. The funny thing is, he gets so butt-hurt when people talk shit about his behaviors. If you do douchy…

  • 2018-03-23 Friday Freakout

    Yesterday the sun came out finally and the temps went up enough the kids and I had our first trampoline session of the year. It was also admittedly a struggle to choose that over sitting down to read or write given my state of mind due to my self inflicted situation, which is another looming…
