When Alex was 3, we got to my parents' house. My mom was not nice nor is now due to Alzhiemers. Alex had not been aware of where we were until we were walking up to the door. She stopped and said, "Oh, sh**. Not Meemaws." Sias and I froze and were not sure how to respond without laughing. ...

It is interesting to see new "F" words being created. I believe the new Battlestar Galactica uses "frack". I mean the military swears; so innovate new swear words!! LOL Um, you will find in the original Battlestar they used "frack"... also "felgerkarp". It is...

Happy Birthday and day late!

The only time I swear is when I am in traffic, when the puppy whines in the middle of the night because she wants to play in the backyard (we don't have the fence up yet so I have to stand in the freezing weather at 1am) instead of doing her business and going back to bed, or when Alex keeps talking...

Well, you just need to survive, I guess. It sounds like you go to church; if you do there are probably teenagers willing to make a few extra dollars watching your children while you go see a movie. I just hope your kids don't make a connection between divorced dinosaurs and the extinction of the di...

Thank you, everyone. Fortunately, Alex's behavior isn't as bad as that 13 year old. We talk a lot about being a role model for her little sister and brother. We have always talked about her dad leaving not being her fault. FIrst things I did 4 days after he left was buy books to read to them... &quo...

Won't be able to check my email until Monday. I am off to go home. Right now I only have access at work. Hopefully I can get that changed real soon.

I'd help you watch them, but I live in Florida, the last place you want to go;-) I take it you don't have any family where you live? Actually I loved Florida. We lived in Sanford. The ex is in Ft Lauderdale. I don't hate him or anything. He just doesn't get it. His dad was an absent father too and ...

Oh, and get some time for yourself. You can't help your kids if you can't help yourself. You are right. I don't parent her any different. Sometimes I wonder if I am being a tad bit heartless, but I guess not. I simply can not let her get away with this behavior. As for time for myself, I know I nee...

Perahps someone here might be able to offer some insight into a delima I am having with my oldest child. Alex is 9.5 years old. She is very dramtic, loves to read and design her "Cyber Dog" comics. She is very bright and has a fabulous vocabulary (I taught her to say "I have a magnani...

Heh heh. I mutter when I write...and i mutter A LOT when I correct my kids' compositions.... "Weren't you LISTENING AT ALL when I talked about TOPIC SENTENCES???? AAAARRRRGGG!" LOL Sounds a lot like me with my kids... wander off in another room mutteing "Sell her to the gypsies! Ah.....

I talk to myself all the time. I answer myself too. I figure I am ok as long as I don't talk to my lawn and have it answer me back. That would be scary. Hmm... I wonder what my lawn would say to me. Get me Rogain for lawns? Dude! Too much puppy poo! Darn squirrels dropping nuts on me! What is with a...

You have to catch me first!

Muahahahaha!

Personally I thought it was pretty gosh darn funny! Not going to buy it though. It was funny, but not that funny. One of my friends bought it and numerous friends enjoyed sitting around watching it. Maybe it is funnier if you are a single, welfare mom. lol

You know what? It has been way too long since I have seriously written. I keep making excuses because of the kids and being a single mom, etc, but I want to participate in this. I need to do it for me. Out of curiosity, would you consider ghosts in sci/fi or horror? I see a lot of ghostie stuff on s...

Now, now... Mama T says no bickering.


Or I'll open up a can 'o whup donkey!

I had a dream last night that I had to take my new puppy outside 4 times during the night and most of the time she only played instead of doing her business. No... wait... That was NOT a dream! lol Mommy was not a happy camper. Thank GOD for toddler play yards and cotton balls (for my ears). Oh and ...

Dude! I am 80% militant feminist!

And a Silver dragon too!

Count me in, oh fellow Silver!


Hi hi Silver, AWAY!


sorry... had to say it.

What I am reading right now is more horror. Along with sci/fi fantasy (which my particular horrors should belong to this genre), I love anything about ghosts. I am reading a British books right now called "The Wyrm." I am not far into it, but it is about this gallows in a town (Shillingham...
