Musings of an adventurous empty nest mom on everything under the sun.
There were more than a few posts yesterday around the internet to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Live Aid concerts. And yet, I associate Live Aid with July 14th for a very good reason I will outline in a moment. It was really bugging me why I am 100% certain I was watching this... Continue Reading →
Because I am a mean single working mom I actually make my boys take care of themselves AND help out around the house. One would think that having one of those boys be an actual, well, MAN (gulp!) would mean that he is easy enough to get to do things, right? For the most part... Continue Reading →
Some days, the spam filter misses one or two and for some reason this morning's slip up made me giggle - I mean, REALLY - why would you even respond to this one? I guess I just don't understand the allure of most spam messages. Do they even work? They must in order to justify... Continue Reading →

And that my dear peeps, is pretty much a reflection of the next 30+ days. It starts with the fact that Music Man finally received a proper sentencing for his DUI issues. He could have been up to 120 days in jail, BUT, thanks to some attorney negotiation and the fact that he got hired... Continue Reading →
You remember it, right? What it was like as a parent to help your child ride a two wheeler? I actually only had to do it once because Sports Boy pretty much bypassed training wheels and went direct to two wheel riding at 4 years old. No help, just hit the pedals running. Music Man...

Despite the protests of the cats and their attempts to become one with the luggage, the boys and I piled into our Griswold Family Wagon and hit the road last week. It was Viva Viagra! LAS VEGAS! Argh, I hate that stupid commercial which makes it impossible for my brain to sing that song the... Continue Reading →
