On the 4th day of 2016 my kid went back to schoooool...and a partridge in a pear tree! Not! I couldn't help myself...am still in holiday mode and the 12 days of Christmas is one of my favorite holiday songs along with the Carol of the Bells. But this version of the latter is one...

Me Being Me…
I wouldn't be who I am if I didn't indulge in gripes about my pet peeves. So what if it's at the start of the year? This way am getting some rants and grumbles out of my system so there's less to spew and gnash my teeth about! I have made a couple of decisions.... Continue Reading →
Bloglet: From Highs to Lows
It's my personal view point that very few things have the kind of power to reduce us to feeling tiny and insignificant like technology does. Take this particular case...I got my brand new laptop. Tis pretty. It's not black but I let it slide. Lovely big screen, faster RAM and more memory for me to... Continue Reading →
A Bloglet: A Mother Realizes…Yet Again
When you're sitting in front of a mini monster with curious and wandering hands, make sure you forgo the quilled earrings. It doesn't take long for little buds to become danglers. Wear in haste and rue in leisure.

Drippy nose, swollen face and mopping up the red blood (poster color) that MLM generously painted on his T-Rex's teeth and pretty much all over on an off-white tiled floor. I fall back on the worst threat in my arsenal aka am going away... Continue Reading →
Much Ado About Ahmed
At this time, if you Google Ahmed the results that will come flying are only about the teenager who was mistaken for a terrorist by a supposedly over-cautious, over-anxious, overzealous school. But it seems to that there are again, two sides to every story. Ahmed Mohamed. Who is he? Just a person of color? A teenager?... Continue Reading →
Yet Another Epiphany
I had another Ah-HA! experience this morning while "attempting" to explain to MLM why something is desirable and why something isn't. People (parenting experts, those whose kids are no longer a pain-in-the-ass and those who are blissfully childless) usually say that it sets a bad example to communicate with a growing child using largely negatives...
