Freak Parade

My Christmas present from The Husband arrived today. Yes, it was a couple of days late, but it was worth the wait. A beautiful, shiny Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 lens for my beloved camera. Did that sound like a foreign language to you? Me too. I have no idea what most of that means, but […]

“I want to spend time with family and friends, even if they sometimes drive me crazy. Really crazy…..”
Scratch that, Santa.
Make that…I would like to spend time with some members of my family. The rest are crazy. Crazy. As well as frustratingly passive-aggressive, but whatever. Merry Christmas, indeed. Hrmph.
So, I just don’t get the whole passive-aggressive, […]

All that has been happening lately has forced me to look a subject that I don’t particularly care for straight in the face. And when I say “don’t particularly care for” I, of course, mean it scares the heck out of me. Freaks me the hell out. Yes, death is one of those things that […]

EDITED: I think my post is unclear. I AM a stay at home mom. I think that is the best choice for my family. I own my own business, but go in one day a week. All other work I do from home. I am not judging a mom for staying home. I am commenting […]

Thirteen things that I have been doing when I should have been updating here.
1. Blowing my nose. Every. Five. Seconds. It is hard to type when you are walking around honking into a crumpled tissue like weird old Uncle Lou who wears his polyester, plaid pants pulled right up under his saggy man-boobs.

I have apparently contracted the Black Plague. I can’t remember being this sick in quite some time. The kids, of course, are on Spring Break. That means I have both of them. Home. With me. All day. With me.
