Timeline of our Children Marked by Monsters

April 15, 2013

Sincerely heartbroken that the timeline of our children’s childhoods is marked forever by the actions of monsters.

Tragedies that marked my childhood, it seems, were indeed tragedies and not horrific acts [...]

October 26, 2012

“Please Use Honor System.  Put in Yellow Mailbox.” That’s right, honor system.  Just leave what you owe. It’s that kind of town. We live in a little town where when you stop by a pumpkin patch you see lovely pumpkins and gourds.  It’s nice to see people having faith in humanity. Suckers!!!  Good Lord I [...]

I know it looks like I am a stripper but the wig is actually my husbands.

October 22, 2012

Running a story I told a while back.  Thought it was relevant since I cannot write today because Peter signed me up as room mother.  You would think the kid would know his mom a little better than that.  ;) Here goes… Have you ever felt like your kids school’s teachers and staff think you are disheveled, [...]
