Going Back to School
I stood outside the door gasping for breath, hoping no one inside the room could hear me. “If they don’t hear me nor see me, if I never walk in, then I will not exist to them and I can walk away right now and forget this foolish idea,” my mind raced with anxiety and contemplation. But I couldn’t do...

The Traffic Ticket
Today wasn't a good day. As I drove frantically to counseling, my estranged husband called to ask my opinion on something. “Where have I always wanted to go?” He asked as if a child on (geez I hate to use this comparison, but… I must) Christmas morning. “The sand dunes in California,” I answered....

Fix-a-Flat
I was recently reminded of my womanizing Uncle Alfred (deceased now). He was married to my Aunt Ruby and ran around on her from the get go. Aunt Ruby had had it with his running around, but couldn't get him to stop. Al had a blow up doll named Cherry, so one day Ruby decided that she may not be able...

The Dollar General
My kids and I were getting ready for our garage sale. I told the boys to gather up what toys they wanted to sale, and we would put the money towards a trampoline. I told them to price their items between 50 cents and a dollar. At one point, I heard my 9-year old tell my five-year old to put $25 on...

Talking Chipmunks
While watching the movie "Alvin and the Chipmunks" with my five-year old, I was pleased to hear him say, "You know, Mom, this movie isn't real." At the very moment he said this, Alvin and his brothers where singing and shaking their "thang." I said proudly, "That is right, this is just a movie and...

Remember Who You Are!
My dad is a teacher, has been for 34 years. He is a damn good teacher who is loved and respected by most anyone who knows him. But because of a personality conflict with his administration, he, along with many other long-term teachers have been targeted and harassed to the point that they all have...

Busting Asses and Boobie Pinches
I was nervous about my first mammogram, and expressed this to my boss before leaving for work that day. 'Oh, don't stress over it," she said, "If I know you, you'll came back with a good story to tell." And so I did. I was late and the facilities were located at a major hospital, so finding the...

Bum Wheel
You know that cart, the one with the wheel that won't turn right? I get that cart every time I go shopping. That cart and I are like one. And why should last-minute Christmas shopping at Bass Pro Shop be any different? I struggled with that damn cart through camo wear for the newborn in your life,...
