My daughter was diagnosed with Lyme Disease almost 2 years ago. I have briefly written about this (sometimes with humor) but I thought it would be better to hear directly from Morgan herself. Because May is Lyme Disease Awareness month, I wanted to honor her and everyone battling this disease by posting her experience in…
My daughter has Lyme disease. It’s something I haven’t written about because generally I try to keep things light and funny and this is not light or funny. But that is for a different post. Throughout my life humor has carried me through any crisis I may encounter and to this day it is my…
When my kids were little, visiting day was the stressful part of the summer. Not because we worried if the kids would be ok leaving us at the end of the day but because we needed to make sure we were fully equipped. Gift Baskets, take-out food, personalized gifts, bunk gift presents, you name it…
Like many people I have been feeling morose lately. All my New Years goals and ambitions went the way of past New Years goals and ambitions. The thing that makes it worse this year is that this was the year I decided to stop procrastinating and get moving. Write more blog posts, clean out my…
Like every other parent there are a few things during the course of my day that give me stress. The texts from school (all day long) begging me to bring whatever forgotten item my kids may have left on the counter, navigating the parking lot at the supermarket and of course what is for dinner….
I turned 50 in July. That was 6 months ago . From the day that I turned 49 I have been talking about turning 50. Truth be told from the day I turned 45 I have been saying I am almost 50. There are so many shitty things about turning 50 I could go on…

This is a particularly long post so I apologize in advance I have much to say. I dropped my daughter at college 3 weeks ago. My first born, my baby. I thought I was prepared for anything that would come my way. I went to college, I had been in her shoes. Having read every…
(Adam circa 1980,his future already mapped out while in woodshop) Today is another birthday in my house. It is Adam’s birthday and it is a big one. In true Adam fashion we are headed to the beach. For…
Getting ready for college has probably always been a stressful time. I must say though it seems to have taken on a life of its own in this digital age. If I see one more article on Facebook clog my newsfeed about packing for college or what emotional mindset my mind needs or things I…
If you see something, say something. Do we not hear this every day? Is this not the mantra the Federal Government has been cramming down our throats since September 11? So when it’s time to say something, what would you do? Do you say something and risk being labeled a racist, a bigot or even…
I am the type of person that looks to the universe for signs. I believe in ghosts and believe there is a reason for everything, almost everything.
