…and God Bless You All.
During the last few days of the year, Big Guy and I have been de-cluttering and cleaning our house. We’ve emptied cabinets, filed old papers, and scrubbed our home within an inch of its elderly life. We were inspired by a bible devotion we studied at breakfast a few days ago, where it suggested that […]

Do I make the “Mom of the Year” list?
Little One and I have received the last of our Christmas presents, ones we have coveted a long time. You may think that needles, blood, and metal are not fun gifts, but we beg to differ. LO is now sporting a ring in her lip and my nose is now adorned with a tiny crystal […]

Santa brought us something extra this year…
STOMACH FLU!!!
Do not breathe near me.
We were fine during our pre-holiday visit to Christkindlmarkt in Daley Plaza, and our eating orgy at Russian Tea Time on Michigan and Adams. I cannot think too long about the caviar on warm blintzes or the beef stroganoff in heavy cream, though.
We were healthy during our lovely visit to Big […]

Is it Wrong?
Should I worried that people found my blog yesterday by Googling these search terms?
“my many sexual experiences”
“Life pain in the ass”
“Is it my fault she left”
“I think my daughter is possessed”
Anyone?
By the way, if you’re interested in what Little One has been doing the last two days, you can read about Tuesday here (want to […]

What was that, again?
I’m one of those moms – the ones who search their teens’ rooms and eavesdrop on conversations. All for the greater good, of course; I’ve never searched a room without probable cause and I only eavesdrop when I have a reason to be concerned. Which is, well, most of the time.
Last night I overheard part of a […]

Appliance Graveyard
I find myself almost entirely unable to function today. Why, you may ask? No, it’s not further sickness or the antics of those goshdarn cute teenagers. It’s because my house has become the appliance graveyard.
The body count so far is a humidifier (that I truly need in order to breathe air on this planet), a […]

Wednesday’s Conversation
I’m sure God has something special planned for me, due to all the sarcasm I pour out on my family. As happened in Wednesday’s conversation:
LO: Hey, you know what sucks?
Me: Yep.
LO: Okay then…
…
…
LO: You know what else sucks?
Me: What?
LO: When I woke up this morning, I thought it was Thursday.
BG: I thought it was Tuesday. […]

Reaching for the light
When we were getting ready for bed yesterday at 7 a.m., Big Guy put his hand up over his head. “Could our pile of shit get any bigger?” he groaned.
Yeah, we’re having dark days. Teen problems and job problems and so on. Big Guy attended an unending church council meeting on Monday that turned into […]

The way it’s supposed to be.
I’m so thankful for the day I had yesterday. First Born came over to do laundry because the machines at her apartment were broken. She and I made a 7-layer taco dip for lunch and she hung out and watched the Tigers/Cowboys football game.
Back in the olden days when she lived here, she would have scurried to […]

This must be the new math they’ve been talking about
When my husband comes home from church council meetings, I know I’m going to either laugh or cry with him. Usually our Christian leaders are such amazing, faith-filled people that I’m proud to sit in the same sanctuary as them. Occasionally, though, the most absurd things happen.
Like the other night. There’s a member of council […]
