My kid's teenage years are kicking my heiney!* I was smarter as a teen than I am as a middle-aged mother of one. Primarily because I kept the eye rolling to a minimum and the simian grunts to a fairly non-existent level. I had to since my mother was handy with her spatulas and my... Continue Reading →
Befuddled Mom Bloglet
My home aka the place where t.v remotes go to die. They seem to plummet from a high place with unfailing regularity and sadly there's no safety net in sight...sigh. Is there also a subsription model for buying t.v remotes? I guess am averaging a few one every quarter!

TO is still very light on his feet and can creep up almost noiselessly (unless he's... Continue Reading →
Hug It Out
Am not the nicest mother- it has to be said. More like the willling bad-cop who thinks that telling it like it is never hurt anyone. I wonder where I get it from (looks askance at my parents' room) but it is what is is. My parents continue to be the extremely loving and demonstrative... Continue Reading →
