Thanks, Aimee, my newest NaBloPoMo friend, for breaking the rules and tagging all her friends with this meme. Name six guilty pleasures no one would suspect you of having:1. I like to sleep naked. This is a rarity for me now, having been caught at 4:30am, naked, with my house on fire – it kinda gives me pause to go to bed in my birthday suit now. And for...

Today I woke in a grateful mood. Ironic since that is so NOT the mood I went to sleep in last night. I got up to find Prima Donna Daughter at her computer playing/singing Christmas songs. When she saw me coming into the living room, she jumped up, ran to me and hugged me and said, “I’ve been waiting for you to wake up, Mommy.” We scrounged the...

Oldest Son is having some difficulty in making the adjustment to being back under Mama’s roof. In fact, more than some…try a whole truckload. It’s quite entertaining to me that he assumes because he’s now ‘of age’ that somehow gives him the right to make rules and, even more cheeky – ignore rules in my house. NOT. I know...

Strange title, I know, but ’twas my response to OldestSon when he asked why SecondSon was having a friend spend the night tonight.

Share 7 random and or weird things...

As I may have mentioned, I am a substitute teacher for our local public school system. This is my third year, and I really do love it. Why? 1. Back when I still believed life turns out the way you plan if you take the time to plan, I wanted to be a teacher. 2. No daycare issues. 3. I am not one of those glorified babysitter subs…I prefer to actually teach! 4....

I don’t get names like this NaBloPoMo…I guess it’s shorter and sounds cooler than saying National Blog Posting Month. I won’t even tell you how long it took me to figure out that Payless’ BOGO meant Buy One, Get One…sheesh. Regardless of how I feel about the name, I like the idea: Post once a day for the month of November....
