About 8 or 9 years ago, I bought a pair of red patent leather ballet flats. I have always loved red. When they arrived, I opened them and tried them on, then I put them on the shelf in my closet. I was not going to wear them until my graduation from UGA. Every year, …

Okay, well, I missed my own deadline. Imagine that 😉 I am feeling a S.A.D. episode coming on, but only because: It is cold. I have packed up all the Christmas stuff, and everyone is basically back in school. The Middle Child starts on Monday, and I start on Tuesday. I can finally see the …
Just wanted to let you know that I have not fallen off the face of the Earth! I can't believe it has been over two years since I have written anything. A lot has happened in that time, and some of it is difficult to write about, though I am working on it. I have …

If you have been keeping up, then you already know that I have gone back to school at the University of Georgia to finish my undergraduate degree that I started back in 1989. You know how people would joke about being on "the 6 year plan" or "the 7 year plan"? I seem to be …
We celebrated The Baby's 13th birthday this past weekend. His actual birthday is February 29, 2008, so until 2024, he will celebrate fake birthdays. I prefer to celebrate on February 28, since he was born in February. This year, he wants a new computer desk. He has a perfectly good, L-shaped computer desk; however, Santa …
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 …
I have four days left. Not to live, though you might think that is the case-the way I am acting (from time to time)- four days left until my fiftieth birthday. I am very happy to be alive, but not so happy about turning a half-century old. This is not about complaining....more contemplative.... 😉 Time …
We are making some changes to the inside of our home. I believe it was just two or three years ago when I painted the "Space is the Place" mural on The Baby's wall and bought the matching comforter.....Yes, he loves space and wants to be an astronomer, but it was also my tribute to …
I'm dragging, people. Badly. I am really not feeling this Christmas thing. My asthma is not great, so I had to go buy a new respirator mask from Home Depot-just to go into the attic and retrieve the 20 some odd boxes of Christmas shit. First, I decided I would do the outdoor decorations. …
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 …
