Shut up, Phil!

Challenger

I was a sophomore in high school 36 years ago. Space shuttle launches were nothing new to me, as they had done 24 launches since 1981. On January 28, 1986, the entire country watched as the first teacher (Christa McAuliffe) was on board. It was a Tuesday and it seemed like every classroom was watching … Continue reading Challenger →

Sleepless Snuggles

Remember that children's song where they sing, "There we're 10 in the bed and the little one said, 'Roll over! Roll over!"? I wanted to sing that so bad last night. Except that there were 4 in the bed (5 if you count the cat.)! Sleepy Ella quite a while ago... Andrew is teething, so … Continue reading Sleepless Snuggles →

Throughout my life, I have seen therapists off and on for various reasons: my weight, depression, grief counseling, anger issues, my divorce, etc ...

Looking Ahead …

A radio friend discovered my blog on accident. He was doing a search on Honey Radio and my blog came up. He messaged me and asked "Is this yours?" After messaging back and forth, I told him to let me know if there was any specific topics he'd like to see on the blog. It's … Continue reading Looking Ahead … →
