Later this week, I am running away from home. Okay, that's sounds incredibly dramatic. The reality is, I am simply packing a bag and allowing myself a well-deserved break from my life. It is the adult version of running away. I will be enjoying the company of my tribe...

Last night, we celebrated my spouse's birthday with his mother. My belly was full and I was anticipating the reunion with my pajamas as we drove home. Inching closer to our driveway, we noticed something hideous at our door....solicitors. Anything that delays me from...

The great thing about living in today's world is how quickly you can gain information. The bad thing about living in today's world is how quickly we can become stupid. If you are like me, you might join random groups on social media that seem interesting. Maybe it is...

I am convinced that Satan has taken Mother Nature hostage or maybe they are in cahoots. Messing with us, as it is October 1 and I am still experiencing boob sweat. You know I'm right. The thought of cooler weather makes me want to bundle up. I dream of chili,...

The only way to describe this week would be to say it was cloudy with a 100 percent chance of a shit storm. However, the last two days have been quiet. (Knock on wood). The dogs are stable and my mother seems to be acclimating to her new caregiver - you know - the one...

Let me be perfectly honest when I say that I dreaded yesterday. I woke up convinced that the situation with my mother was hopeless. That I was preparing for the battle of the century with my 88-year old madre. The agency was sending a woman over who would be with her...

You know, I have gotten calls about my kids. The ones where you are asked to pick them up because they are sick or there is an issue to be addressed. Never thought that I would get one regarding my mother. However, in regards to her, I should always prepare for the...

Friends, I have two words for you....chicken strips. Those two words were among other items on a list given to my spouse for his trip to the promised land aka Costco. Those chicken strips are an excellent source of protein and I love to have them, on occasion, for...
