My day with my son...

Today I had a holiday with my son for a whole day. We slept until 9:30am, got up, had breakfast, watched the Wiggles, read a couple books, played with some toys, sat and watched TV for a while...it was absolutely a wonderful day.

Of course, he is now sitting here next to me, taking his clothes off for the third time today and I'm ready to rip my hair out...

But hey...it is an absolutely wonderful day.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

OK...rant over.

...of the rest of this blog. I unsuccessfully attempted to set this blog up in October, thinking I would find amazingly insightful things to write about every day...or at least once a week. Nope. Nothing. And with the holidays, I found myself simply feeling guilty for not contributing anything. But then I remembered...the only person I gave this address to was my mother (Hi Mom!). So since nobody has missed me as of yet, I'm officially starting over. I think I might even invite people to read my ramblings now! Hang on to your hats...things are about to get interesting. lol

Mom

My mom insisted on living independently. She wanted to live in the two-story house she and my dad built in the 70s, despite the fact that da...
