Since Almost Nobody Ever Reads My Other Blogs

I share one of my conversation type posts here. I figure it's time for some laughing around here! The story of Carl's vasectomy (ladies can you see all the men cringe just by mere mention of the word?) Ok actually it was the pre-referral exam. We had this wonderful lady doctor from England who had... Sign in to see full entry.

My Year In Review

I want to thank everyone who responded to my last post. I am honored to be surrounded by such fine people. NOW, it's time for something a bit more pleasant. I was going through some of my pictures tonight and I realized much has occured this year, so I decided to share the pictures with you as many... Sign in to see full entry.

Things You Might Now Know About Me

I am not using a certain name in this blog because I am sick of seeing her used as a headline to satisfy everyone's need for the "If It Bleeds It Leads" mentality. My goal is here to maybe, hopefully bring something to light that many don't understand. WE ALL HAVE PROBLEMS and they show themselves... Sign in to see full entry.

Been Thinking About This

I need some input here. Am I nuts or what? As Pam reaches those ever so insane and very critical teen years I am reminded of something I wanted to do years ago: Tell teens they have options in life. It began years ago when I first started visiting Carl's hometown. This is an area that has the... Sign in to see full entry.

Bah Humbug!!! Am I The Only Who Hates These?

Yes, it's true I can give old Scrooge a run for his money during the holiday season. I am not overly fond of the holiday insanity but then they add all of these really awful songs and movies to the mix and I was to go craw under a rock until sometime around Valentines Day. The two at the top of my... Sign in to see full entry.

Yoga Booty Ballet???

I really need to turn off the TV when I am not really watching it. Between blogging and cleaning I hear this strange phrase come from my TV "Yoga booty ballet". It seems this is a new workout...I can hear it now "How did you get such a great booty?" "Well, I have been doing Yoga Booty Ballet" Ummmm... Sign in to see full entry.

Don't go away mad; just go away

I have this neighbor, she is a nice enough woman but I am not the neighborly type of person...leave me alone in my own little world and I am happy. SO....tonight Pam is away and Carl and I have the house to ourselves...can you guess what we have planned? Well the neighbor shows up and we try to... Sign in to see full entry.

Carl is giving me what I want for Christmas!!!!!

I know this may sound crazy but what I really wanted for Christmas was to stay home and spend it together without a bunch of people. I have become less social since Carl came home, I like our alone time and while I adore his father, I detest the insanity that comes with being back in Carl's old... Sign in to see full entry.

Tis The Season To Meltdown???

Joe_Love left a comment for me asking if meltdowns are contagious. I have no idea what I missed but whatever it was I am glad I was left out of it. It does seem to be the season for meltdowns. Instead of dealing with meltdowns here I was dealing with the meltdown of a friend. She is dating a man... Sign in to see full entry.

Believe In What You Can't See

Pat_B once again inspired this: The other day Pam and I were riding along in the car when she asked a question that rather suprised me. "Mom, dad was never really in any danger in Iraq, was he?" It took me a minute to form my thoughts as I tend to try and protect Pam from some of the uglier... Sign in to see full entry.
