In school, its difficult to “make” friends. Maybe not in elementary, but definitely once you start becoming self-aware. You’d think that once you become an adult, more mature, that making friends would be easier. Well, I don’t think so. Okay, maybe that’s an exaggeration.
We have a circle of friends that’s pretty tight. We see each [...]

I Should be Fired
Not fired from my mothering job. That’s one job I think I’m doing a decent job at. No, the job I’m talking about is my domestic job. The house. The cleaning, the laundry, the dusting, the mopping, sweeping, room-cleaning, dishes job.
Okay, say it. There’s no excuse that my house is a mess. I’m home all [...]

Two Parts Sunshine, One Part Curiosity, One Part Morbidity
I have to wonder…do we all have a bit of hidden morbid curiosity, or is it just me? This question has been plaguing me ever since David called me on it when I was hooked on the situation in Iran last Saturday. I had to really question the true meaning of my interest of Iran. [...]

Same Parents, Different Parenting Styles
My sister posted about how we parent differently. She couldn’t be more right. But it got me thinking…how and why are we different? I think I’ve come up with some answers…
A bit of background:
We grew up under the same roof but under different circumstances. When I was a young, my parents rarely fought in front [...]

Just Perfect
A wise woman once told me that “they never get too big for your arms.” This was in response to me holding Zack while he was asleep at a recent visit to my work. I told her that it’ll be a sad day when he gets to big for me.
If you read often, you know [...]

Happy Father’s Day
Dear David,
I’m writing this in a blog, so I can share with the world (or at least my readers) how great of a father you have become. Just sit back and enjoy.
You’ve always been a tremendous husband, but my heart has sored to even greater heights watching you become the father you are. It all [...]

Please Hold the Justice
Meet Al. An average guy with a decent job, drives an expensive car, late twenties-early thirties, college educated, his only vice (as far as I know) is that he likes to speed.
Meet Bob. Your typical drain on society, can’t hold a job (going on a year of unemployment benefits), drives a clunker so that he [...]

Who Am I?
This should be an easy question to answer. For me, it’s not. In fact, I asked David if he knew who he was, he said he did, but he didn’t answer me. I wonder if he really does know.
Where is this coming from, you might wonder. I’m reading Bill O’Reilly’s A Fresh Bold Piece of [...]

The Bad Thing About BlackBerries
Don’t get me wrong…I don’t think all Blackberries are evil. I want one even (though, I’m not sure why…I wouldn’t pay for a data plan, I don’t have THAT much email and I’m home all day). But like most things, it can be used for evil.
I took Zack to the doctor’s today because I thought [...]

Another Timely Post
I think I’ve mentioned it before…but I love ZenHabits.net. While Leo is gone, there are guest bloggers filling in for him. Today’s post: 7 Secrets to Raising a Happy Child.
I am not going to replicate what Writer Dad said because you can read it yourself at your leisure, but I’d like to take a moment [...]
