I love YOU and YOU and especially YOU…You with the donuts!
There have been a lot of conversations recently about that stupid video (Remember? I said I’d look back and say it was just a stupid video!) that I wrote about last week. At first it was a lot of simple conversation, people adding their voices to the conversation. But, I’ve since found other entries from people picking sides and other people defending themselves and their position from those people who chose sides.

Tips Of The Trade: Parenting Teenagers Edition
I’m less than 6 weeks from sending my oldest child off to his first day of high school. (I just threw up a little in my mouth.)

Paperwork filed…Lessons learned…Faces punched.
You know what word I have started hating? Closure. I think about closure every day.

As an indicator as to how much more my brother and I would need to deal with as the administrators of Dad’s “estate” (that’s a legal term that makes it sound way fancier... Read More
Testing 1,2,3, (Yellow!)
Love. Love. Love LilZ’s new shoes. I’m using this rainy weekend to update the design at my blog. Don’t leave the feed reader, however. It’s not that exciting. When it’s all working I’ll post a screen capture so that if you read from a feed reader you can still see what the design looks like. I don’t like to force anyone away from the comfort of their RSS feeds. Unless I can offer them donuts. Read More
