Bah Humbug

Wow. I've been seeing Nice Guy for almost two months now. Feels like yesterday. We are actually talking about bringing all the kiddos together for a meet and greet. I suspect the girls will be great together and the boys won't care as long as there is something in it for them, like sugar and video... Sign in to see full entry.

Gentlemen, for the record, at least with some of us good-hearted women, it has nothing to do with being greedy or wanting to spend all your money as quick as we can. Delicate chains and gems that require a magnifying glass to identify just don't cut it. We are larger women. If we put that love... Sign in to see full entry.

I love my children and I want them safe. To that end, they buckle up in the back seat, in booster seats, even at age seven, but there is a bit of me who really misses having my child sitting beside me instead of relegated to the back seat. As much time as we spend in vehicles, you would think... Sign in to see full entry.

The nice guy is surprising me a bit. He has more softness than I'd anticipated, more understanding, and compassion. I may have to keep him for a while. See where this thing leads. Overall, this year is better than last. My babies love me. Other than a few bumps, things are going well. Of course I'm... Sign in to see full entry.

I must be one sick puppy because after all these years, I still don't get the wisdom behind making resolutions public. This holds especially true when year after year people make dozens and so seldom live up to them. It seems like it would be the wiser move to at least achieve the resolution BEFORE...

We've all heard the discussions in forums, chat rooms, classrooms, family gatherings about how those of us who work are so sorely taken advantage of by all those lazy people on welfare who just WON'T get a job. Tonight I was in a chat forum listening to this crap and how the government should be... Sign in to see full entry.
