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 …
No, I haven’t fallen off the face of the Earth!
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 …

I Can Still Make the Grade
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 …
New Old Student
I know this will come as a shock, but I am going back to school! Again! THIS TIME, I am GOING to finish WHAT I started (an English degree, now with an emphasis on Creative Writing), WHERE I started it (The University of Georgia). I am very excited! I get more excited when I get …
Nike 9.5
Today, I took The Baby to Lenox Square. I cannot stand to go to Lenox Square, but The Baby wanted to go to the Nike store, so we went. It took us over 20 minutes find a parking place. I'm serious. It is April whatever, 2021, and at 4:30pm, a normal person cannot find a …
Thirteen
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 …
Pandemonium
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 Ride
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 …
Of Snips and Snails and Puppy Dog Tails….
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 …
MIA: One Elf and One Reindeer
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. …
