Coming out of the Virtual Closet
One of the coolest things about blogging is the awesome network of friends that you get to make. My teenagers think its hilarious that I talk about my blogging/blog reader buddies all the time.

What happens when a mother has a Meltdown?
Sometimes a mother has to have a nuclear meltdown. A complete manic freak attack. Just once in awhile. To remind her family that she has feelings. To remind her children that she's not an automated fridgin Energizer Bunny that can go and go and go. And never get tired. Never get run down.

Marriage Can be such a Gamble
Sometimes I'm not sure how me and the Hot Man have stayed together for so long. We are such different people that I'm amazed we actually grew up on the same island and speak the same language. For example, winning the lottery. We were watching the lottery draw on TV and he said, "Imagine winning… Continue reading Marriage Can be such a Gamble
