Time to dust off the albums. Turn Me On from Come Away With Me Like a flower Waiting to bloom Like a light bulb In a dark room I’m just sitting here waiting for you To come on home and turn me on Like the desert waiting for the rain Like a school kid waiting […]

misc/NOTPregOh great. What if I am? How am I going to handle this? Well, at least I’ll have nine months to think about it. Hopefully, Tom will have at least a slight pay raise by then… Maybe it’ll be a girl this time.. too many boys… Leah Grace … Wait… Wait… no line in the […]

Advice to Professionals from a SAHM
Professionals came to my house this morning and salted their food before tasting – and I didn’t even serve breakfast. Good manners also make good business sense. We all prefer to work with those who are polite, tactful and even compassionate. Conversely, if you use poor judgement about the clothing you wear, if you speak […]

How do you answer a fool?

One of the most difficult things that I have ever done in my life was to shoot an opossum. It was staggering around in our yard during the daytime, drooling. I only had a .22, and it took several shots to before the animal died. I remember shooting it once or twice, and it hissing […]

Romance up in Smoke
Sarah-and-Tom/sarahtom2 Last night, I learned that many lit candles and incense sticks in an enclosed area lead to nothing more than fits of coughing, stuffy noses and sore throats. I would add lots of laughs, but that doesn’t happen until the day after.
