How many of you have little boys? Wait a minute…. That sounds bad. How many of you have sons? When Jacob was 5 years old he wanted to play baseball. We were thrilled, so of course we signed him up. He never really got the hang of it. When they were in the field he [...]

I Almost Quit

I almost gave up. I almost let almost 4 years of blogging just disappear. I am not normally a quitter but I had just had enough. You may have noticed that my blog actually disappeared for a while. And by a while I mean several excruciating days. I let my domain expire. I thought that [...]

If you ask someone what they think about Toledo, Ohio the answers will vary greatly from “I love it” to “Never heard of it”. Living in Toledo my whole life this surprises me. I have never really thought that Toledo was the best place on Earth to live, but I never thought it was the [...]

I would like to apologize for my 2 week absence. I recently changed routes at work and have been spending a lot of time making the adjustment.

No, that doesn’t mean that I would marry someone else, it is just that with social media, wedding planning would be totally different. I can imagine that it [...]

I did something the other night that I never thought I would ever do. I gave a stranger a ride. And my kids were in the car. And now Dave is hella mad at me. I almost forgot to mention, it was 10:00 pm on a Friday night. Now before you start yelling at me [...]

Stress. Stress gets to us all at some point in our lives. With me, stress makes me a hot mess. I get the runs, migraines and am seriously nauseated. For a while now this has been me. I worry about everyone else and how they perceive me. Am I doing things to make them happy? [...]
