24 hours and we’ll be on the road to Hendersonville, North Carolina for an overnight stay, before we finally get to the beach. We usually get to the hotel in Hendersonville incredibly early – and proceed to swim, walk around the old town (with the kids justing wanting tomorrow to come, and tired from being…
Read MoreI wasn’t betting: why don’t you just shut up for about a week?
Summer is here – with a vengeance. 90 degrees. No school. Sweating. Irritability. Discovering a summer schedule. Vacation on the horizon. Needless to say, I\’m distracted. Saturday Sonya and I got to go out – the first time in about 2 months. We went down to Newport on the Levee and dinned at Claddagh Irish…
Read MoreIf It’s Not One Thing, It’s Your Mother
Some things are easier to be candid about than others, yet it’s the things that I am more apt to hide that I want my friends to know about. Some things seem to be connected to so much pain that it seems almost trite to just let them roll off my tongue, if you know…
Read MoreI’m not drunk, all right! I just have a speech impediment; and a stomach virus; and an inner ear infection
I’m going to write at length because I can, about everything under the sun. So, rest your eyes. Get a drink. Be comfortable (not that comfortable). Birthdays are strange for me. There are swirling emotions of apathy, excitement and disappointment every year. June is a very busy time for most people (and friends). Endings. Beginnings….
Read MoreHoly crip, he’s a crapple!
I’m 33 today. I have no idea how this happened. But it might be contagious, so everyone take a step back.
Read MoreIt’s just easier to call you stupid
From now on, the titles are all Family Guy quotes because my brain is far to exhausted to be original. My body intuitively knows that “school is out”. 17 years (or so) of having 3 months leisure is ingrained into my system. Everything in me is shutting down – putting on shorts, watching the blue…
Read MoreMy skin is mutating
Oh dear God; what on earth has caused this rash on my neck?! As if allergies weren’t bad enough in Cincinnati, I’ve got this amazing red rash on my neck that has sprinkled and planted itself on parts of my face as well. I am getting this sense of deja vu; this happened sometime last…

Come on everyone; try it, it’s fun! At least Elliott is all for getting on his brand new Hoppity Hop, in his birthday suit. Today is Elliott’s 4th birthday. He’s very excited about his new hoppity hop (do you all remember those glorious toys from much younger years?! They were the best!, elevating your physical…
Read MoreWelcome to the wait
Not much to report in the circus. It feels as if we’ve pulled into a sidetrack waiting for others to pass by as we wait. The weekend? Meh. Normal. We had the “inspection” Saturday morning – we all went to the Wilcoxon’s for about an hour and half (Sonya and Kim exercised, the kids and…

Thank you to Sha for passing me the musical baton. I shall try my best to hold tight (and yes, this is somewhat redundant as it nearly exactly mirros what I have on Wiseacre). For those of you who don’t know what it is; I believe it was started by Keegan Jones at The Big…
