To My Son I Owe You One

Or maybe its more, I’ve lost count. A little while ago my son did a post on me and my site and I wanted to thank him. I talk a lot about my boy, he is an amazing man, and I am not just saying that because I am his mother. He has helped me [...]


All Hail Roomba

I never thought I would be the kind of person to own a robotic vacuum, I mean I’ve seen them and said “ooh I gotta get me one of those” but they seemed the things of rich folk. Before Christmas my son received a gift from his lady friend Courtney, she is a huge blogger [...]


Recovery

The Seventh Blog Of Christmas Is About Holiday Shows

My DVR is working overtime, how about yours? I have to watch the Christmas shows, I love the old How The Grinch Stole Christmas and Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer. My kids are as into them as I am, and then they have new ones each year, some just suck, but others are actually pretty [...]
