Meredith Grey
Since my daughter has been home we’ve all been watching Grey’s Anatomy. Every. Single. Day. I stopped watching it years ago because Meredith got on my nerves and I swear I wanted to punch her in the face by the end of every episode – so I just stopped watching – cold turkey. But, whenContinue reading “Meredith Grey”
Is this our new “normal”?
I read an article on the lasting impact this virus is going to have on us and how we do business. For the most part, I agreed with everything the author said; expect for one thing… She stated that “the comfort of being in the presence of others will be replaced by a greater comfortContinue reading “Is this our new “normal”?”
Life As We Know It…
I had, honestly, been taking all of this in stride, one day at a time, paying attention but not OBSESSED, but this SERIOUSLY breaks my heart. These kids are being robbed of a crucial college experience; major EARNED milestones like graduation and ring ceremonies will not be celebrated, housing situations are being left in chaos,Continue reading “Life As We Know It…”

To Do List of 2020
I did one of these in 2018 and, to be honest, I sucked at it. I probably accomplished one thing off the list and, even then, it was about a year later. I think my son accomplished another one. OK, he did… but it was still HIS accomplishment, not mine. But, here we are; anotherContinue reading “To Do List of 2020”
What I want for Christmas this year:
1. To send my kids a text asking: what meals do you want me to make for you while you’re home?” ✔️ 2. Christmas music playing non stop – loud enough for everyone to hear no matter what room you’re in in this house. ✔️ 3. To put clean, fuzzy sheets on a bed that hasn’t beenContinue reading “What I want for Christmas this year:”
Words of Wisdom on my baby girls 21st Birthday!
TWENTY ONE YEARS OLD! How did that even happen? WHEN did it happen? Seems like just yesterday we were celebrating your high school graduation and I was coming to terms with the fact that you were LEAVING. Now THIS! If it wasn’t for the fact that you were so responsible and mature, I don’t thinkContinue reading “Words of Wisdom on my baby girls 21st Birthday!”
Words of Wisdom for Dylan’s 24th Birthday
On November 30th, 24 years ago, I became a mother for the second time. There’s no denying 24 is a strange time in ones life; I know it was for me. And although you don’t have two kids like I did (thank God) I’m guessing you’re finding yourself in this state as well. Trust me,Continue reading “Words of Wisdom for Dylan’s 24th Birthday”

I cant believe we are already into November! It was just the other day I was writing about Back to Basics – Holy crap, it took me THAT long to actually get started! The year is almost OVER! Anyway, in my long overdue journey of clearing out the crap I stumbled upon the cutest littleContinue reading “November ALREADY, Kindle Unlimited, & Marie Kondo”
