Years ago, it was a popular myth that the average person swallows eight spiders in their lifetime, all while sleeping. 

Eight. Spiders. 

After poking around on the internet for a while, where every single thing you read is true, I ran across the snopes website where it debunks that theory.  In fact, most of the information that I read said that it is very unlikely, nay, HIGHLY unlikely, that you would…

Today Is My First Day Without A JOB

Yesterday was my last day in my Hair Salon. Today is my first day of freedom without a JOB and it feels wonderful. This is my Hair Salon sign they took down yesterday and everyone thought I would have been sad but it was one of the best days of my life.…

I love Fall. Love, Love, Love, Love Fall.

For me it brings pretty colors, cool weather, and the feeling of a fresh start (I know most people associate Spring with that feeling...but I tend to do things backwards). It means, Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas (My fav) is right around the corner. And lets not forget the end of the 3-5 month long hot flash that is Summer. I love it!

I know, I am seeming a little too excited for a season. But I don't care. There is nothing…

Some of my best advice comes from movies. Some of my most life altering thought processes have been triggered by books. I believe that you can find what you need if you look hard enough, and that often it is right in front of you if only you are willing to see it.



       "Go find your happy ending"



This is the sentence I am currently working with. For those interested, it is quoted near the end of the movie "Little Black Book"



He's right. I should find my happy…

I wasn't sure what to expect when I first signed up for the Bloggy Mom Blog Hop. But I can say that I got more than I ever bargained for!

The list of sites was long; I made a plan to visit at least 10-15 sites a day and leave a comment on each. That plan worked out well. Obviously not all of the sites were about things that I normally would be interested in; however, they were all fascinating. 

Of all the sites that I visited…

The title is intriguing isn’t it??  I thought it would get your attention. 

Here’s the scoop…I’ve been seeing a trend lately where the only thing I hear from my married friends is everything that is wrong with their husbands. I am the first one to admit that there are probably a LOT of valid things we wives can find “wrong” with our husbands ~ not helping out around the house enough, not finishing our “honey-do” lists, not spending…

Sensational Saturday - it is sensational to learn life lessons from the movies, here is what I learned from "The Five Heartbeats."



Each Sensational Saturday throughout the month of September I will be sharing lessons I learned from my favorite movies. By sharing my favorite movies, I will be sharing with you a little about me and the way I think. Perhaps you can spend this time exploring yourself and how you think.



My favorite movies of all…

It's nearly 11 PM and I have course can't sleep. At 2:05 AM it will officially be a year since my sweet little Mason man was born. Wow. A whole year has gone by. Some days it seems like he was born last week, most days though it seems like we  have had him forever. It's amazing how you forget what life was like before this miniature human entered your world. I honestly was so excited about him turning one.…

So today I am going to discuss Mommy's Law... its kind off like Murphy's Law, but only for Mommy's (Just in case you needed me to explain that). Either Way, you know what I'm talking about. Those moments that you just sit back and think "Like,Really?"

I have had several of those moments today, yesterday, and all the days of being a…

Moderator: Well, it’s not every day we get to announce that a world heavyweight championship fight is being broadcast live from California - right in some one's bedroom, but we’re sure happy to be doing it today. Mommy Dearest and Golden Girl are taking their feuds to a new level, as the ladies will go head-to-head, both at bedtime.

HBO Commentator Lennox Lewis: So we’re thrilled to be part of this event, and we look forward to a…

There's something incredibly empowering about deciding to take control of your life.  I'm not talking about packing your things and disappearing in the middle of the night for some wild mid-life crisis escapade.  I'm talking about making a conscious decision to change your life for the better. 

Everyone has their own personal albatross.  Whether it's weight, a bad job, a crummy relationship or toxic people  - everyone has something they are battling.  Even the people who seem…

The yearly trip to the gynecologist is a necessary evil.  Going to the gynecologist with two children in tow brings the entire experience to a whole new level of hideous.

Here was my sleep deprived insanity logic into deciding to bring them along:

It's a 5 minute appointment.  How bad could it be, really?  I'll just set them up with something to watch on my phone.  They won't even notice what's going on.  Oooh!  Look!  There's a bird in my yard!  Did I flip the laundry…

I sent my baby off to kindergarten yesterday.  For weeks I was warned how emotionally draining this was going to be for me.  And how I would probably cry because it was going to be so hard.  I wasn't sure what to expect; Lena has been in some form of daycare/school since she was 8 weeks old and I returned to work.   She went to transitional kindergarten last year because she was too young for "real" kindergarten but too smart (aka bored = chatterbox) for only a few days a week preschool.  It…
