I have not written in quite a while, and this is well overdue. There was just so much to say, and so much not to say. I would never want you to worry that I had become the Mayor of Crazy Town instead of the Psychomother that I really am. The Pandemic shell-shocked us, as …

The Fan
Mini Me has the hottest room in our house. We have a classic split-level home, built in the 1960's. The HVAC system is in the crawl space, situated right next to Mini Me's room. It's fine in the spring and summer months, but once we fire the heat up, it's like hell down there. I …
Grocery Store
Day before yesterday, I actually made a trip to the grocery store. I hate going to the grocery store, so I normally order groceries and have them delivered. Now, I know how that sounds. It sounds all fancy and ooh la la. It's really not. In fact, when I order groceries, I tend to spend less …

We had to be at Belmont the next morning at a specified time. I can no longer remember what that specified time was, but sure as hell, we were running late.
Fifth Grade Cynic
I have been a cynic since the fifth grade. In my opinion, I'm lucky I made it that far. I can pinpoint the exact moment that my life changed for the worse. It was going so well. We lived in a nice neighborhood. We had a pool at our house. We had a sauna in our …
Bad Ass Certification Complete
Yesterday, my husband had our car. We are about to buy another car. That, in and of itself, is a long story that I will not bore you with. Let's just leave it at: yesterday, I was at home without a car. Yes, I could have called a friend to take me, yet again, …
Out of the Mouths of Babes: My First Time Speaking As A Writer/Blogger
It was a momentous day in my career as a writer, as that is what I call what I do, as opposed to being just a blogger. Bloggers are writers! We are writers who blog our writings. Anyway, back to my momentous day.... I was asked to come speak to The Baby's second grade class about creative writing and about writing my blog! I was so excited. …
