I am crafty and resourceful, but not “FUN”. I forget this fact however. Let me show you what I mean. Surviving Motherhood had this great simple post about making juice cubes. So I thought, ohh, I’ll make those. Here’s where I go wrong. I think. Instead of saying – I don’t have … [Read more...]

It dawned on me this weekend how much my Christmas traditions have been changed due to my kid’s special needs, or the lack of time and finances due to their special needs. I’m not sending out Christmas cards again this year. I’m not even doing that great getting the bills paid in time! Back … [Read more...]

Dad My father had a passion for the beauty of automobiles. He worked so hard to maintain them in showroom condition. It was like a family member had died when one car had to be sold or turned in on a lease. My father kept his cars for up to 10+ years. They were washed in winter in a heated … [Read more...]

I don’t have road rage. I might be giving it, but I don’t think so. I can only think of one time when I went ballistic on someone’s driving. I was walking (at Christmas time) through the Target parking lot at 8:30 am. There were a whopping 20 cars there. A woman came barreling in from … [Read more...]
