How many times have you thought aloud… oh! this is a great idea, I need to blog about it!…and it never happens? Yea, I am TOTALLY guilty of it myself. I will mentally create a post for days at a time and never take the time to actually log into this space and do a…
And then there were three…again
Back in 2012, Junior, who was then called Senior, left us to head to college. We drove him and his stuff to St. John’s University in Queens, NY. It was a loooooooooooong road trip but we all survived, though I am not sure how. Two years we went with only 4 people in the…
But I Feel Fine
So many people out there are medicated, in an actual medical way. They take their meds to ward off voices, feelings and chemical imbalances. And they, we, feel better. Life moves easier for them, us, and we like it that way. Its ok to have some ups and downs, but the meds make the ride…
Hey Ma….
Very dangerous phrase…..especially when coming from your almost 20 year old college child. Hey Ma….can I have some money? Hey Ma….can you do my laundry? Hey Ma….can I borrow your car?

So I’m feeling a little random and I figured you all should join me 🙂 WD40 stands for Water Displacement, 40th try Odontophobia is the fear of teeth An inch (2.5 centimeters) of rain is equivalent to 15 inches (38.1 centimeters) of dry, powdery snow It took Leo Tolstoy six years to write “War &…
My Mental Getaway
Ok, so Chicago JUST got out of the grips of Mr. Freeze and something called a Polar Vortex. Personally, I think Mother Nature wanted to prove to us that we are in fact in hell and that it had in fact frozen over. It was roughly negative 98918951519 here, give or take a few degrees….
