Re-Birth

The clock is winding down. With any luck, I will have given birth by this time next month. I am just now getting used to my life being entirely different from Little Man’s arrival, and now things are about to change all over again. But more on that later… It’s funny how pregnancy is soContinue reading “Re-Birth”

Making up my Mind on Making a Murderer

Fun Fact: I am a libra. While I don’t really follow the signs of the Zodiac, there is one trait about me that I feel is in my Libra nature and that is an intolerance to injustice. The sign of a libra is actually the Justice scale. As a child, I hated seeing people unfairlyContinue reading “Making up my Mind on Making a Murderer”

Songs That Make You go “Hmmm”

On my drive to work, I am listening to one of three things: A random podcast, my son’s children sing-along CD, or the radio. I’m not fancy enough to have a satellite radio and I’m on a shared data plan so Spotify or Pandora are out of the question. Mostly, I listen to the radio.Continue reading “Songs That Make You go “Hmmm””

Sick and Tired

Is there anything more maddening than being sick and not knowing what you have? Yes, of course there is. Have you read the news? The world is falling apart. But in my selfish life where I only think about myself, trying to self-diagnose is INCREDIBLY annoying. If you know me at all, you have probablyContinue reading “Sick and Tired”

Up in the Air

Here it is. My “that time I flew alone with my son while pregnant” post. This is something I have dreaded for a long time, as you can imagine. It was hard enough the previous three times when I had the support and physical buffer of my husband. Having that 2nd person meant that oneContinue reading “Up in the Air”

I Got the Blues

There is a scene in the movie “Brokeback Mountain” when Jake Gyllenhaal says to Heath Ledger, “I wish I knew how to quit you.” Every fall, I think about that quote as I start to watch college football; more specifically- Michigan Football. For as long as I can remember, I have been a Michigan FootballContinue reading “I Got the Blues”

Dress to Impress

I have seen the future of our workforce, you guys, and I’m here to tell you that it doesn’t look good. I don’t mean skill wise. Despite all of the stereotypes of millennials being entitled, short-sighted, and way too distracted by shiny objects like cell phones and Apple watches, they do bring a lot ofContinue reading “Dress to Impress”

The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly Cry

I have a difficult son. When he was an infant, people would always ask me if he was a good baby and I never knew how to answer that. He cried a lot, was difficult to nurse, rarely slept at night, and never let me sit down and hold him at the same time. IContinue reading “The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly Cry”

RSVP!

Today, I turned to a coworker and asked: “Should I, or should I not, write a blog about the fact that I don’t think that too many people would go to my funeral?” She about died laughing (pun DEFINITELY intended), probably because I said it out of nowhere, but most likely because she had the sameContinue reading “RSVP!”

Forever Young

Recently, there have been a lot of revelations that remind me that I am no spring chick anymore. It spans from activities like leering through my blinds to shake my head at the latch-key kids across the street when they make a ruckus late at night all the way to checking TVGuide.com to see if there will be aContinue reading “Forever Young”
