This past Tuesday, my son took pictures at his school. He attends a parochial school so his uniform consists of navy blue slacks, a light blue polo shirt with the school logo, and a navy blue cardigan sweater that also has the school logo on it. I made sure that I sent his sweater with [...]

Since Halloween is just around the corner, I thought it fitting that I write a post about people’s pathological fears. Halloween is a time when our fears are put to the test and we are forced to face costumes or images that are scary to us. Most of our Halloween experiences turn out to not [...]

Tonight I was watching one of my favorite shows, The Ghost Whisperer, and I was literally brought to tears by the end of the episode. For those of you who are not familiar with the show, it is about a woman (played by Jennifer Love Hewitt) who is able to communicate with spirits that have [...]

Can someone please explain to me why nobody calls before visiting anymore? Everytime I turn around, I have a friend or family member knocking on my door that I wasn’t even expecting. Then comes the mad scramble to straighten up and pick up toys and to change out of the comfy pajamas that I like [...]
