Bunny Ears and Rock Stars.

by Shannon on 10. Jul, 2010 in 40 & Fab, Random Mom, Teen Trials

This weekend, I started to bug Tyler about studying for his upcoming SATs. My favorite 16 year old took a quick look at the phone book sized SAT guide I purchased, and headed out to meet a girl. Okay, so I see his priorities are exactly where they should be for a high school Junior.  Last [...]

Fear of Flying.

by Shannon on 06. Jul, 2010 in A Working Mom, Random Mom

I intended to write today’s blog on a totally different subject. But, in my comic book strip of a life, things never happen quite how I intend so I’ve changed gears and the other post will have to wait. Sorry, Mr. D. You got a reprieve. I flew from Houston to Los Angeles today for [...]

I was trying to decide what to write about today. I almost wrote about my first-ever trip to Las Vegas (that will have to wait.) I thought about writing about Tyler’s first day at work, which was when I was IN Las Vegas, and how he ventured around this town he’s lived in almost his [...]

What’s A Farrah Fawcett?

by Shannon on 25. Jun, 2010 in Random Mom

(Originally posted a year ago today.) A month or so ago, I watched the documentary about Farrah Fawcett’s battle with cancer. Toward the end of the show, Tyler walked in at one point, saw that I was watching something medical (he hates medical shows) and asked what I was watching.

Welcome Home Jordan.

Welcome Home Jordan.

by Shannon on 24. Jun, 2010 in Random Mom

Jordan finally arrived home last night.  Tyler and I had just finished pondering whether Jordan had reached the deviled egg smell yet and if his new found family would ever return him. Not even 20 minutes later, my youngest child suddenly appeared, deposited safely on the front porch at 10 pm, Whataburger Meal in hand. [...]
