I ‘got my frump on’ real good last night, had a good cry and woke up feeling much better this morning. Nancy, I saw your comment this morning, and you are so right - the one thing we can count on in this life is change - and that’s about the only constant we’ve got! [...]

Doesn’t it just bite how easily and quickly your day can go from full of possibility to full of crap? For me, today, it took one piece of news, which I’m not really ready to write or talk about…
No, I know I can’t run away. Sure want to though. Right now, I just don’t want [...]

Friday was Oldest Son’s girlfriend’s birthday, so this Grandma had two little ones spending the night. At this point, the best thing about Grandma’s house is all the computers, and beg and beg did they to ‘play game’.
They are both potty-training, and were brought to me with underwear and no pull-ups. So, my first [...]

I don’t know about the rest of you, but it seems to me that those Economic Stimulus checks Georgie is passing out need to be saved for use at the gas pumps here directly if we want to go anywhere by any other means than on foot. Granted, here in Tulsa, we have the lower [...]

In the continuing saga of Adopted Son, Thursday evening came and he called wanting me to come pick him up. I asked if his mom had shown up yet, and he said she hadn’t, but that she should be there in an hour or so. I told him I wasn’t coming to get him until [...]

Ironically, we are celebrating Oklahoma’s Centennial this year. To wind up a year of celebration with a bang, Mother Nature delivers the worst ice storm on record for our state. A cool 45% of the state lost power in this storm, and over 6,000 linemen and other utility people came running to our rescue, some [...]

Ok, maybe I won’t ever “get it”. I just don’t get how a certain someone could consider it any kind of evil-doing on my part to send his daughter to stay the weekend with him. I just don’t get how I end up in the bitch category for that. Particularly when we have no [...]

Well, I declared that back on June 21, 1981 when I was shanghaied and dumped moved here. But I was 17 at the time and had a bad attitude.
And as I’ve stated before, I’ve had plenty of time to leave, so I try to keep my disparaging remarks to a minimum. But this declaration does [...]

Strange title, I know, but ’twas my response to OldestSon when he asked why SecondSon was having a friend spend the night tonight.
OldestSon moved back ‘home’ three weeks ago (which goes about 60% of the way toward explaining my absence of late), so now, on top of all the drama he brings with him, I [...]

Oldest Son turned 20 Saturday, the 1st. I called him as soon as I woke - it was 7:15am. He, of course, didn’t answer (no one but mom gets up that early on a Saturday!) so I sang him “Happy Birthday” and told him I loved him and to call me later when he woke.
He [...]
