About Me
"Mom, you're on crack," my kids' favorite response to my valuable comments." I like to think of myself as the grandma humorist of the 21st Century. At best, I'm Erma Bombeck on crack.
I've been telling people what to do for years. And for the same number of years, they've been ignoring me. What better way to continue the tradition than to start blogging!
I hope you enjoy my funny... working its way up to hilarious... blog.
Please leave COMMENTS. I love to know you enjoy the posts. Some days your comments make my whole day. I'm of the age when that might be as good as it gets!

A little bit girl, a little bit woman
The Worm turns seven today. The little butterfly is blossooming. She still comes to me and wraps her arms around me, but they come at my waist now. She still laughs when she measures her height against mine, and she … Continue reading

Who said you couldn’t put Humpty Dumpty together again?
I made a deal with the GAP. You put together all the stuff I bought in the last year that’s still in boxes and I’ll watch your kids. Win-win. We dragged the large crate containing the upstairs TV stand downstairs. … Continue reading
