I used to work with someone who cried a lot and was always in pain and was finally diagnosed with something the rest of us dubbed as complete and total bullshit, but our co-worker who had it, called it "Fibromyalgia". This was in the early 2000's. Fibromyalgia was a new thing. There were a few …

Don’t Ever Break Him
When I was pregnant with Mini Me, I was terrified that something would be terribly wrong with him--mostly because of all of the terrible things I had done during my very in-depth studies for my PhD in partying at the University of Georgia. Of course I was not pregnant with Mini Me during these studies, but I …
Talkin’ Bout the Car Wash…yeah yeah yeah yeah
My stepsisters came to stay with us every other weekend, and it was something I had grown to look forward to. I had lived for 15 years with only a brother, and found that I really liked these stepsisters a lot--in fact, I grew to love them a lot over the years. One of …

The Bell
Today I un-decorated. I hate un-decorating. Most years, I have been known to cry, while un-decorating. Not because I hate it that much, but because it means that Christmas is over, and now there is positively nothing to look forward to. Thank God, and my doctor, this year, my medications are working, and I am not dwelling in the despair of …
The Santa Photo
The Santa Photo is the single most important of my holiday traditions. It is the one that I started when Mini Me was a baby, and it has happened every single year, henceforth. Mini Me has asked for a stopping point, seeing as though he is 17 years old. My answer was a bit vague....The Baby is only 7. I am …
Two Jack’s and a Jen (Conclusion of The Contest)
Mini Me and I flew back to Atlanta from Boston on Saturday, August 8, to get ready to leave for Nashville the next day.....
The Contest (Part 1 of 2)
In August I entered a contest. I never win anything, but the minute I hit the "send" button, I knew I had won.
Musical
Yesterday, The Middle Child auditioned for musical. I think that sentence should have read: Yesterday, The Middle Child auditioned for the musical. The spring performance at The Middle Child's school (and also that of Mini Me) is always a musical, and is simply referred to as musical until they (whoever they are) decide which musical …
Mini Me is Surely Gonna Be the Death O’ Me ;)
I am writing today with a very heavy heart. My dear, dear Mini Me is very ill. He is suffering from a terrible case of what is known is Senioritis, and he has one of the worst cases I have ever seen. Senioritis causes its victims to not want to do things like their school …

If You Boys’ll Just Help Me Flip This Car Over….. (A Grandmothah Bennett Story)
This is going to be difficult to tell. Mostly because I am already laughing. It was unseasonably warm for mid-October. We were still riding with our windows down. This is something that people who live in small, country towns do--or used to do. I don't know about now, because I haven't lived there in over …
