Last night, my nephews spent the night. Mackenzie was so excited to have them over, and they all had such a good time. They spent their time swimming, playing Wii, playing in the basement, running around outside exploring Camp Kenzie and Laneybug Trail.
The evening was capped off by a bonfire (attended by Tony [...]

Today, I had to go into work. Yep, I had to meet with some lower elementary teachers and help them develop a common writing assessment tool for K-2. While I am happy to help out, I found it exceptionally hard to focus on the task on hand (initially) and to step out of [...]

Just when I thought Chrysler couldn’t screw me anymore (by taking away the E.C. numbers that FRIENDS and not just FAMILY could use), Chrysler announced yesterday that they would no longer be leasing vehicles.

Okay, heads up, this is a Mommy post.
For those of you who know Delaney, you know that she is a “fairly large” baby girl. At 10 months, she weighs more than her sister did at 2 years old, tipping the scales at 26 pounds and 1 ounce. Now, my doctor reassures me that [...]

My brother-in-law is a fire fighter. He hasn’t set foot in a fire since January. What a safe city, you might be thinking. Well, think again…he works in Detroit. Hundreds, if not thousands of fires have taken place since he fought his last one. Where has he been, you ask?

Okay, so I did get verbal confirmation (from the patient) about the removal of Hot Lips from his ass to his leg. Now I know you would love a picture, and I had my camera on hand, but the graft was slightly disappointing. Despite it being medically necessary and potentially life-saving, the end [...]

Do you know what the most dreaded words are to a parent of young children?…
“I have to go potty!”
When you are potty training your children, it is the greatest phrase ever…the proclamation that they know what is about to happen. So, they run to the bathroom, make it on time, and you (and the [...]
