I Abhor The Silence
Silence is not golden in my home. Silence means someone is doing something they shouldn’t. Silence means one of my favorite articles of clothing is getting colored on or Donnie’s toolbox is being dumped on the floor and examined for the most dangerous item to be used as a hairbrush. Silence means clothes are being dragged out of every drawer and strewn across a bedroom. Silence means books are being taken of shelves and uncovered and possibly, if I’m really... Read More
Phones Are Tools Of The Devil
Non-topical photo that I took at the fountains last night. SOOC! When I was working in an office, any family business that needed to be handled by phone (Doctor’s appointments, consultation schedules, maintenance calls etc.) for the family were done by me.

Your thoughts? …people who turn every news story into a way to pit Republicans against Democrats. I didn’t like it with Katrina... Read More
It’s All Futile. But Awesome! Sometimes.
I get frustrated by the minutia of parenting declarations sometimes. Participation trophies make our children grown up with a false and heightened sense of self-worth! Putting our daughters in pink and our boys on tball teams before they’re old enough to ask for either is enforcing gender stereotypes! HFCS and Processed Cheese will increase the chances that our children are obese and depressed! Breast is Best! Crying it out is the only way a child learns to comfort himself! I... Read More
