    I want to say the bullying my daughter has suffered this school year has stopped.I don't like to lie.I want to say that it has lightened up.I can't even say that.I want to say that the bully got the message, and she's backing off.The truth is, just the opposite it true.  It has escalated.  It's bordering on stalking now.  Read more >

    Here we are just a few short weeks from the end of school.  I thought we were going to make it, but apparently I was wrong.  See we have a bully in our neighborhood.  Most of the moms have agreed (ok, me and the neighbor) that it is not all her fault.  After all, he home life is far from optimal, with a single mom who doesn’t always parent her.  We have tried to cut her some slack, we have put up with a lot from her, and so have our daughters.  Read more >

  3. Relevancy, Is it Really Relevant Any More?

    So I was desperately searching for something relevant to write about while at the same time avoiding the land minds in the media these days.  Do you remember the days before the 24 hour news feed? You know when Walter Cronkite or Dan Rather only had 30 minutes to give us the world news and therefore had to pick the most relevant stories to report? When we didn't have to know every single bit of news the minute it happened?  Read more >

    With all due respect to Jackie DeShannon, what the world needs now is not so much love, sweet love, but actually tolerance.  And a whole effing lot of it.  Read more >

    My daughters are in 6th and 9th grade.  I know that every year for the past four years they have had at least one report/project of some sort due during the school year.  Sometimes I find out a week in advance, sometimes I find out hours in advance.  Either way, I help when I’m needed, but I make them do their own work.  (and by help I mean I rush to the store and buy everything they need to complete said project and try to find stuff that will work so I don’t have to drive 45 minutes to the nearest Targe  Read more >

    picking fights

    I am a single mom of two tweenage daughters. My oldest daughter will turn 15 at the end of the week. It’s not really a big deal. You know, as long as I don’t think about it. In a year, she’ll be 16, and driving. A blink of an eye she’ll turn 18 and graduate. It’s getting harder and harder to ignore the fact that she won’t be mine forever. And it scares me, and pisses me off.  Read more >

    For a while it seemed that bipolar disorder was the “It Disorder” for Hollywood.  Catherine Zeta Jones came out about her stay in a hospital for it.  Carrie Fischer wrote about her struggle with bipolar disorder.  One of the most famous celebrities-with-bipolar-disorder would be  Read more >

About Me: 

I hate writing 'About Me" pages, profiles.  Which is ironic considering I blog and love social media.

I am a writer, over at Welcome to My Life, a sometimes photographer, a dork, a sister, a daughter, and an ex wife (twice). I am a mom to three kids, but I am not a mommy.  I am a mystery and a contradiction, I am sometimes an embarrassment.  I am blonde by choice, and an awesome best friend (can provide references upon request)  I love coffee, margaritas, stilettos, my kids, books, cheesecake, and attention. Not always in that order. 

I laugh too loud, love too hard, fall too fast, trust too easily, and cry too often.  I am loyal beyond reason much to my own detrement sometimes.  I am funny (at least in my own mind) and want to achieve world domination, or at least national fame.  I just don't want to work for it.
