We had a team meeting today, a Drew team meeting. His teachers, the social worker, Adam and I all met to discuss his progress. I’m happy to say there has been progress. I’ve definitely noticed an improvement with things at home. And at school, he has had an incentive chart which he is coming home with stickers of success and […]

Anyone who has ever read this blog has probably gathered that I’m infrequently a “blah” kinda person. It’s a good thing as much as it is a bad thing. When I have a feeling, its usually a strong feeling. When I like something, I really like it. When I dislike something…you get the picture. It allows for me to live […]

So I’ve definitely shown my true colors by explaining my feelings about the Kardashians. I think they are unbelievably beautiful, nice to look at, and oddly entertaining.

I’ve been raised with this impending doom feeling hanging over my head. My mom is not to blame for this mentality. It’s more like a cultural thing. Maybe its from being a part of a religion that was repeatedly persecuted for their beliefs. Maybe somehow being neurotic is an inheritable trait. Either way I come from long lineage of insane […]

It’s that lovely time of year where people are starting to get out of dodge. It is frigid one moment or snowy and slushy the next. Either way, it’s miserable. And frankly the weather is just the least of it. I think I may need a vacation from my children. Surprisingly Drew has been doing a little better. All it […]

There’s something about winter that makes me want foods that warm my innards. I started the season with chilies and now I have moved on to soups. Special thanks to Jackie for posting that she was making taco soup on Facebook and peaked my interest.  Then I found out that I could use my crock pot (which has become my […]

Hello, again mommies and singles (and everyone in between). This weekend I have been feeling a bit under the weather, but an evening curled up on the couch watching really bad/good Lifetime movies was nice. Now that the New Year is in full swing, how many of you have kept your New Year’s Resolutions? More importantly, how many of you […]
