It was an amazing opportunity that I could not pass up--enjoy a free night's stay at Great Wolf Lodge in Grapevine, Texas AND get to ride there in a new Chevy Equinox on a full tank of gas? My family couldn't believe our luck!
Now, pulling it off would be another ...

I looked at her, puzzled.
"Um, what mouse?" I asked.
"Well, I KNOW we don't have a ...

Random thoughts to hopefully lighten the mood here:
Did anyone catch American Idol's first two shows of the season? Pants on the floor! Pants on the floor! Lookin' like a fool with your pants on the floor! I can't get this out of my head. Someone help me!

It sounds so stereotypical that I sometimes hate to admit it, but then I remember all the fun I had at my first job. I grew up in a very small town. There were 3,149 people at that time, to be exact. I know this because my neighborhood was positioned ...

Funny this thing called age...
I turn 40 this year. I always tell people, "Birthdays are no big deal. Aging really doesn't matter to me." I have always THOUGHT that I meant that. I have said it with such conviction. But, now I'm recognizing that the old adage, "With age, comes ...

My mind is whirling around the subject of trust today. More specifically, when trust is broken, how do you get it back? Or can you ever repair that kind of damage?
My first few years of college, I had several really hard lessons in lost trust that came within about a ...

It was not our first standoff, and I don't think it will be our last. My little red-headed darling with the mind of her own and a fiercely huge stubborn streak given to her by both her father and me. We asked for it really.

This is SOOOO not another "mommy blog." Ok, well maybe it is. But, what else would you expect from a career writer, who has lived the life of a SAHM and now is juggling her way back into part-time work again while raising two wild kids with her wise-cracking husband and a large stinky labrador retriever?
