Nuts!

So today was a usual, non-stop busy day. Work…kids to swimming..home for a quick bite and then off to the meeting of the week. This time it is an awards assembly for “Outstanding educators and volunteers.” I am not a recipient, I’m a presenter. And I am running late. You [...]

What’s Wrong with this picture

Remember those picture games in Highlights where you had to find all the things that were wrong with a picture? This is my demented version of the game:
What’s wrong with this picture?

The boy is actually running from a Great White Shark charging the beach while Dad sees this as a great photo op.

illin’

Today I didn’t feel good. Kind of foggy headed, little weak, but it was not crippling, so I went to work…lots to do today. Now, when some folks are ill, they might show symptoms of pale skin, fever, sore throat, and have the sense to stay home. Not me thank you very [...]

And the word is ….contagious!  Have you noticed that when you are with someone who is deliriously silly… you can help but giggle too?  Or, worse, someone around you is crabby and it infects everything around them?  That was today.  I swear that windy day blew in some nastiness from somewhere.  Some of my peeps [...]

My life in a nutshell: [...]
