My eyes are dry today. They tend to get dry anyway, but they are really dry today. You know your eyes are dry when you can hear yourself blink. I was laying in bed this morning, in the dark. The house was quiet except for a small sound…the sound of my blinking eyes. Is that [...]

Politics Really Is A Dirty Job
Now McCain supposedly had an affair with some woman. Both he and the woman deny it. He had to have a press conference to defend himself. Who really knows. Hillary is not doing well at the polls so she is going after Obama with a vengeance. She has enough problems of her own to worry [...]

Feeling Yucky Today
I’ve got a head cold and just feel yucky today. I think I will just spend today resting (as much as a home schooling mom can rest) and try to get better. I have my glass of water and tissues next to my bed. I have my laptop computer so I can still blog:)
Just on [...]

Turning Into a Prune
I’ve noticed the only time I can “get away” is by taking a shower. You heard me. It is just quiet and peaceful while I am in the shower. I don’t care if WWIII is going on out in my living room as long as it doesn’t bring itself to the threshold of the [...]

It’s The Middle That Counts
I’m going out to lunch today with one of my very dearest friends. We’ve been friends since we were college freshmen in 1986. Man, 1986 was a good year. I was 18 and thought I knew everything. Life was good. If I only knew then what I know now…… how life is unpredictable, things happen, [...]

School Shootings
For crying out loud! What is going on? I just don’t get it. This latest school shooting in Illinois is so unbelievably sad. It’s like Va. Tech all over again. Why? Why? I don’t understand how a person could just get up and decide that today is the day he is going to massacre people. [...]

Quoting A Little Erma
Wasn’t it Erma Bombeck who said, ” if life is a bowl of cherries why am I in the pits?” It’s one of those kind of days. I hate these kind of days. The alarm clock goes off—-right as I’m getting to a good part in my dream. Arrgghh! I roll out of bed and [...]

Superbowl Lessons On Life
I read a really cool quote today in Tom Barrett’s newsletter. He said that the N.Y. Giants were the underdogs to win the Super Bowl. They had a difficult season and the week before the big game there were some injuries and some practices that were lacking in finesse. The Giants did not give [...]

They Don’t Bite, I Promise!!
For those of you who are unaware, not only do we have 2 inside cats, 1 outside cat and a pony being stabled in Ohio….we also have 2 dogs. Ace and Junior. Now Ace and Junior are buds. They are fairly easy going dogs. The most that might happen is that they’d try and [...]

When You’ve Been Run Over By A Semi-Truck
Okay, maybe not really run over….I just feel like it. I couldn’t go to sleep last night. I tossed. I turned. I tossed again. At one point I felt like a catapillar in a cocoon. I was wrapped up in my blankets so tightly I was a like a bedtime burrito!! I couldn’t stand that [...]
