I am a firm believer, that if you put something out in the universe, good or bad, things happen.

For instance, a few months ago, a friend's son was in dire need of a heart transplant whose wait for a new heart ended after I asked friends on my/… Read full post »

A Death in the Family

It's been awhile since I've written.  End-of-the-year activities and events overtook my desire and motivation to write.  My wheels have been in a constant state of motion, always trying to get the next task done, always wishing there were enough hours in a day to complete them.

Then,/… Read full post »

Oops I did it again!

Every now and then, us moms mess up.  Bad.

Yesterday was the annual Country Fair at my children's school.  It's like any country fair you go to - rides, games, food, performances.  Minus the toothless, inbreeding redneck population.

My daughter is in the 5th grade and this was her las/… Read full post »

The Ice Cream Whisperer

About a year ago, while watching a show about ice cream on The Food Network, my daughter and I saw an interesting segment on Ben & Jerry's ice cream.  From the tours given to the tastings to the 'graveyard' of retired flavors, I found it interesting to see a behind-the-scenes view… Read full post »

By now you might have guessed that I never did get the opportunity to meet the love of my life one of my favorite celebrities, actor Jim Caviezel.  But I happened upon this interview with him and I thought you'd like to hear what he had to say about me Savannah.… Read full post »

All week long I was trying to figure out a real believable prank to pull on my kids.  The only prank I ever got away with was telling my college boyfriend I was pregnant.  It doesn't come that easy anymore.

I woke up my kids for school yesterday, like every other… Read full post »

Contractors Suck - The Final Chapter

It's been awhile since I've blogged but last week thankfully ended my horrific experience with the contractor.  I had to spend some time wrapping my head around what happened.  When the contractor told me that he had never had this kind of experience with any other customer I thought maybe… Read full post »

I have been trying to finish this post for several days now but I had so much brain damage from the contractor and my trying to wrap my head around what went down, that it's been a long thought and writing process.

Last I left you, I was waiting/… Read full post »

I was born and raised up north.  From time-to-time, I'd witness my mother organizing contractors to come into the home to work their magic.  Not once did I ever see a lazy soul.  They came in, did their jobs with gusto and left.  So what is it about the south, where… Read full post »

Embrace the suck

Yesterday, my kids and I went to see the newly released movie, "Beastly" - another variation on the Beauty and the Beast story.  It was a cute tale but what I got the most out of it was my new favorite saying...Embrace the suck.

I guess you could/… Read full post »

Shameless plug

Part of being a full-time mother is knowing that I will have to work again one day and always wondering what that one thing will be to help me earn a living. That time has come.  My kids are 10 and 13 and do not require me to… Read full post »
Allow me to clarify...I have not met Jim Caviezel.  Yet.
 
This singing performance, which takes place tomorrow, has grueling rehearsals.   My son and one of his friends from school buddied up so that his mom and I take turns getting them meals.  If it hadn't been for my frie… Read full post »

Stalking Jim Caviezel

There's nothing like an early spring in Savannah.

The Robin Redbreasts have reappeared, my plum and Bradford Pear trees are starting to flower and Jim Caviezel is starring in a movie being filmed here.

All of Georgia's young singers have congregated in Savannah for a huge performance this weekend.&/… Read full post »
Being a full-time mom, I don't have a workplace in which to go and meet people.  The people I'm friends with are usually parents of other children who go to school with my kids.

I have this one friend who, for the life of me, I just don't get. /… Read full post »

Oh the places we will go

It's hard for me to understand where the years have gone.  Thirteen plus years have passed since I heard the cries of my first child being born.  I remember the day as if it were yesterday down to the last detail.  Some of those details have me shifting in my seat… Read full post »

I'm not complaining, I'm just sayin'...

When someone hears that I'm a full-time mom, the stigma of being a ritzy lady who lunches with friends daily is placed onto my shoulders.  People, usually the men I've encountered on dating websites, have asked me all too many times where I get my money.  I… Read full post »
