I’m increasingly wondering what it is I should be doing with my life. I have this work-at-home part time “job” when the girls are in school doing drafting. I do “commercial Architectural Drafting, freelance in my home, part time, I have years and years of experience, I draw in AutoCAD.” That’s what I tell people [...]

At the beginning of the year, at Curriculum Night to be exact, I was told that the school expects all of the students to be reading by the end of First Grade. Good. Nice target. I can shoot for that. You parents work with them at home and read to them and we teachers will [...]

I don’t always know what’s going on in the world. If they’re not running a ticker at the bottom of Cartoon Network keeping me abreast of any developing stories then I’m usually out of the loop. Which I find very frustrating because I fancy myself a bit of a know-it-all. But I caught the blurb [...]

If it’s Friday night and the weather is nice Scott will want to sit on the patio and have a drink. If Scott’s having a drink, Carolyn will want a drink. When Carolyn makes the drinks she’ll realize that they’re out of ice. If they’re out of ice then Scott has to drive to the [...]

This is a mistake – posting this I mean. I really think you should not drink and email or be pissed and post… But I never take my own advice.

I have a kid, we’ll call her… oh, I don’t know, Tempel. And she’s a great kid! Smart and funny way beyond her years and beautiful [...]

Parker makes me nervous. She doodles on every page of her journal “I love Bob” (it’s not actually “Bob,” it’s someone else but she made me pinkie-swear that I wouldn’t tell anyone whom she loves so I can’t very well go around posting it on the internet now can I?) But I don’t worry about [...]

Snellville Police Chief Roy Whitehead said the two men, Charles Keith Teer and William Russell Redfren, scuffled Monday afternoon in the driveway of a suburban Atlanta home.Witnesses told authorities [...]

Ahhh it’s Tuesday morning and I’m finally starting to recover from the reunion on Saturday night. It was way too much fun. Some people may never know how much fun… We should have planted a headcam on Kels so that we would have been able to follow her adventure the next day. And Chris [...]

Ahh…. Graduation Day, 1987. Such big hair… Thank goodness the shot is from far away.

I’m off today to fly to Virginia for my 20th High School Reunion. Eeks. For some reason all of my girlfriends were going stag – no husbands/boyfriends were coming so I had to bail on Scott. I would rather he were [...]

This happens every Fall and yet I don’t quite know how to handle it. The ads for toys start ramping up for the holidays and my girls are inundated with American Consumerism. They must have IT. Whatever IT is at this moment. Anyway, that’s not my problem. I mean it is my problem but it’s [...]
