Fam-Damily Update

 

I was going to write a brief brag about the fact that I’ve just potty-trained my fifth kid.  Don’t you think there should be a medal or something for this landmark achievement?  Though, admittedly, I’ve become a big slacker compared to my early days.  I mean, my first child (at 16 mos) got a potty chair for Christmas!  Shoot, I [...]

Personal Update, Blah Blah Blah

I am taking college classes on-line, still, and my only real problem is wishing I would have started this a long time ago.  I’m working on a degree in Psychology with the intent to do graduate work in _________.  (A number of different options may end up in that blank spot, depending on my mood [...]
