The husband and I recently watched the movie Precious, and I was traumatized. I wanted to swoop into Harlem and adopt everybody and donate all my worldly possessions to AIDS research. I still do. Shudder. My infant gets a multitude of endearments bestowed upon her fuzzy little head, and the other day I looked and […]
What’s the worst thing a mom can hear from her middle schooler at ten o’clock at night? How about “Mom, I think I left my history study guide at school.

Last night, my son and my daughter had to pick their courses for high school for next year. My daughter had the toughest time because at 17 she still does not know what she wants to do for a career. No big deal – who knows what they want to become at 17? She will […]

My husband was so kind to do the shopping for me this week, you know the last-minute stuff you just think you won’t survive without for the Thanksgiving meal. I had a list…he didn’t use it, so I ended up with a few things I really didn’t want. One of those things was canned cranberry […]
