Last weekend, Brian and I went to see The Monkees. It was pretty awesome. And during intermission, I headed for the bathroom.

Then as she walked past the line, she said repeatedly, to warn everyone "no … Continue reading Sisters And Toilet Paper

Self-Care And Teenagers
Life is never simple. The stress and the obligations never end. Adulting is completely over-rated. And this is why it's super important to find the fun when you can and find opportunities to relax.

My Son Doesn’t Listen But I Don’t Care
Of all my kids, my youngest son is definitely the most mentally exhausting. He’s a genius in my humble opinion and depending on the day he’ll use his powers for good or evil. Well, not evil. He’ll use his powers for good or slack. No matter how many times I tell him not to bring … Continue reading My Son Doesn’t Listen But I Don’t Care
Will Work For Chickens
A couple of weeks ago, I started a new job. It was the perfect situation, just two days a week, nannying for two kids who were quite lovable. I was surprised that it happened because when the woman contacted me, she said that she needed a nanny for two full days and three partial days. … Continue reading Will Work For Chickens
