‘Tis the Season
Each year we ring in the holiday season by making the rounds to 750 stores. I’ve learned how to nab the last item on the sale table in three easy judo moves. ‘Tis the season for 16 weeks of ulcer-inducing shopping, then wrapping for about 72 straight hours. Christmas morning I find myself sitting around the [...] Read More >
A Bad Hair Day
My husband hates it when I complain about another bad hair day. He says it’s because he’s having another no hair day. Nevertheless, the other day I was trying to fluff here and spray there to manage the latest do. Nothing was going right. I ended up with helmet hair. I had to start all [...] Read More >
Anger Is All The Rage
Have you noticed that anger seems to be in fashion in some spheres? Some sports figures even brag that they “get up” for the game by fueling their anger. (For Pete’s sake, why don’t they just go out and rent a teenager?) Kids at every age often know exactly how to find our anger buttons [...] Read More >
Aren’t Teens a Scream!
I made a wonderful friend when I was in the eighth grade. Her name was Judy. Our friendship survived puberty, boys, getting our driver’s licenses and even very bad perms. But I think one of the biggest tests of our friendship was when I tried to gain weight while she was trying to lose. Just [...] Read More >
Christmas Training Program

Cover up
Something was wrong at school.Very wrong. It was only the bravery of my oldest son that finally brought resolution. Of course, it was that same son who actually caused the situation in the first place. Nevertheless, he snapped into action, mustered up no small amount of courage and, yes, he cleaned out his locker! People [...] Read More >
Deer-ly Departed Plans
I always feel pretty good about myself when I manage to get all five of my kids off to school without misplacing any of them and without anyone going off to school naked. Mornings are wild around my house. After I drop the kids off, though, there’s a drive home on a peaceful country road. [...] Read More >
Everything I Ever Needed In Life I Found in My Purse
I carry the basic essentials of life in my purse. Aspirin, lipstick, hand-lotion, credit cards…what more could anyone need? And whatever life hands me I can usually stuff in my purse. I think I have a purse reflex. I can stuff things in there and never even know it. I found a five dollar bill [...] Read More >
Friends and Facial Hair
Friendships are a must for women. If it weren’t for friends, women would have to go to the ladies’ room alone. And who would offer a truthful assessment about whether an outfit makes your hips look big? I have a Mustache Pact with my closest friends. If any one of us goes into a coma, [...] Read More >
