YCMTSU:  The “S” Word Was Uttered In Class One evening during dinner . . . One: "Someone in my class said the ‘s’ word." Two: "Really?!?!?!" One: "Yes, and they also said the ‘d’ word." Two: "REALLY!?!?!  What happened?" One: "Nothing.  I didn't say anything to anyone because I don't say those words . .... Continue Reading →

A New Series (and Disclaimer):  You Can’t Make This Stuff Up – YCMTSU I have decided to start a new series called YCMTSU (You Can’t Make This Stuff Up).  I have so many stories of things my family has said and/or done that are funny and I want to share them.

YCMTSU:  Question from Santa DISCLAIMER:  You need to know that I have 3 children.  I will call them One, Two, and Three and the first one that I refer to in the story will be One, the second will be Two, etc.  This will have nothing to do with their age, height, or who is... Continue Reading →

Asking For Help Nope.  I don’t ask for help.  I like to take care of things myself.  But . . . I can feel myself changing.  I am always telling others to ask for help when they need it.  I think that it may FINALLY be seeping into my brain.  So, I tried asking for... Continue Reading →

Be The . . . Life’s learning experiences are not for the weak. Sometimes they are like that gnat that won’t stop buzzing in your face.  You swat at it.  Eventually it goes away. Sometimes they are that fly that you can’t quite catch, no matter how hard you try.  Eventually you find that fly... Continue Reading →
