    You Have Cancer {Repost}

    31 October 2013 / 9 Comments

    A close friend was diagnosed with breast cancer today. As I listened to her sob over the phone, I wished I could be there to hold her hand, embrace her, and let her know that I understand what she’s going through. My heart aches for her and her family – as a wife and mother, this is an unimaginably difficult time. But her story is not mine to tell, so here’s my story: Am I going to die?

    Don’t Wanna Get Banned? Control Your Kids

    17 July 2011 / 10 Comments

    When I read this article about Mike Vuick who has decided to ban children under six from his restaurant in Monroeville, PA, I thought Fist bump!  I’m glad someone is finally taking a stand against unruly kids.  In fact, I posted the article on my Facebook page and pretty much everyone who responded had the same reaction ~ they weren’t bothered or offended by Vuick’s actions at all.  Because it seemed to be such a non~issue, I hadn’t even  planned to write a post about the ban until I read a post on GalTime by KyAnn Lewis demanding that people stop discriminating against kids and parents. Ummm, this isn’t discrimination,…

    Day 25: My Day in Great Detail

    15 December 2010 / 3 Comments

    Be prepared to be incredibly bored…. 06:15  Wake up 06:30  Drive the kids to the bus stop 06:35~07:00  Watch a variety of news programs; I start with Fox News, flip to CNN then land on The Daily Buzz (Fox bothers me because of the political and familial nepotism, CNN rocks it out with their music snippets but I get bored with the small talk) 07:00~08:00  Watch The Early Show; during an Estee Lauder commercial I’m reminded again of the wonder and whimsy that is Regina Specktor’s voice. 08:00~08:30  Watch All in the Family ~ that show is classic, the humor dead on and the topics still applicable today. 08:30~10:30  Go…
