80 Summers
So its been a few weeks since my day in court, and I must say things in my house have calmed down-well as calm as a house with 3 kids, 2 cats, and a dog can be. I am getting all my ducks in a row-my associates degree is within reach, and I am preparing … Continue reading
Here we SNOW again
Being a native NJsian, there are certain things I have learned to deal with. Living close to the ocean-or as us natives call it-The SHORE is amazing.

If only Spiderman could fly
Today was the first day of school. First day of Kindergarten, First day of Day Care, First day of Pre-K. The picture is so deceiving. The kids look fed, happy and excited. But alas, as is the “normal” in my life there is more to this story. Let us rewind 12 hours. As I finally … Continue reading
