Where’s Keifer Sutherland when I need him?
I could really use his cutie pie self, when I’m stuck in my own version of his television show, the minutes ticking away, utter and complete chaos from one …

This morning, I was getting ready for work and I had let Harley out to do her thing.
I let her stay outside about 15 or 20 minutes, and completely forgot that it had rained all …

Tonight was out first middle school track meet of the season.
Jordan decided to sign up for track, against my better judgement.
As I mentioned way back when I first started writing this blog, Jordan was diagnosed …

Since I’m all into TV shows these days, and have found more blog material off of my in-love-teenager than I could ever have dreamed (this is even better than Jordan’s mouth…), today’s episode of teenage …

Ya’ll remember back when The Love Boat and Fantasy Island were popular on TV?
I loved both shows.
I still remember The Love Boat theme song, I can still hear the words in my head:
“The Love Boat, …

So, I learned today that there is only one thing worse than losing a dog.
Only one thing worse than saying goodbye to a dog you’ve had for fifteen years.

When I was growing up, my dad had a classic response, if my brother or I asked him a stupid question:
Let’s say, for example, I said, “Hey dad, can I make me and my friends martinis …

For Christmas, Chase asked for some X-Box headphones.
For those of you who aren’t fortunate enough to have teenage boys, they use these headphones to talk to other kids around the globe, while they play all …

I’ve been slightly blogless this week, in case no one has noticed.
It’s not because I have nothing to say.
Oh trust me, I have PLENTY to say.

It still blows my mind that I am old enough to have a kid discussing college choices.
I mean, you know how when you are pregnant with your first kid, and talking with grandparents about college …

The other night, Jordan came and plopped down on my bed, all serious like.
He wanted to talk.
As much as he can be like Eddie Haskell, every now and then I see a rare glimpse of …

I think most people know by now that on Friday nights, I can barely string two words together. It’s too dangerous for me to think of new topics-I might just accidentally reveal some long, lost …

Too bad you cannot all be flies on the wall at my house.
On second thought, that would be gross.

Okay moms, tell me what YOU would do!
A  few months ago, I posted this fabulous recipe for Thai Beef Lettuce Wraps.

As we sat at the restaurant waiting for them to arrive, I reminded the kids to please behave and mind their manners. …

Ohmygoodnesssomeonehelpmeplease…..As if I don’t have my hands full with Tyler and his new flame, the red headed girlfriend, now Jordan, my 12 year old with over-flowing hormones has apparently been hit by the love bug as well. I should have known, he’s been giving me hints.
