Look ma, no hands!
My son TJ came home earlier and informed me his wrist hurt. He also had a couple of cuts and scrapes. When I asked him what happened, he told me he took a fall off of his bike. I had him do ice on and off for a bit. I told him if it still [...]
Can I get some noise here?
The house is too quiet for me. It’s just me and CJ tonight, and CJ is off playing in his room. RB and TJ went to see a show in Point Pleasant and I don’t expect them home until very late. They went to see Rev Theory, Saving Abel and Puddle Of Mud. Yesterday when [...]
On the first day of school
As a young child, I used to cry when a bus went by our house in the morning because I really wanted to go to school. I started going to school at the age of 4 and enjoyed it for years to come. It was a private school and we wore uniforms, so there was [...]
Girls have Cahooties
When he was younger my oldest son TJ would tell us that girls had cooties. We always thought it was pretty funny. He’s now almost thirteen and he no longer thinks of girls as something to be avoided like the plague. This week the prize I won on Mom Reviews arrived and TJ had a [...]
Multi generational hotness

Commercials are just advertisements
I’ve mentioned before that my twelve year old sometimes breaks out with acne. We’ve told him many times that this is normal and that he has to keep clean and maintain a regular routine. Does he listen? Not as much as we’d like. Last night we tried talking to him about the current breakout that’s [...]
I have a hero in my house
A couple of weeks ago my son TJ told me about a Guitar Hero tournament that was going to be run at the local Denny’s. Of course he signed up. He got a couple of friends to sign up too. Thursday night was the first night of the tournament. The tournament started at 10pm so [...]
Give a shout back and get your group noticed
Having two kids, I’ve seen my share of fundraising. My older son has had at least four fundraisers a year for the past four years. The special ed pta I am involved with for my younger son does fundraising all year. Shoutback is a new approach to fundraising. Shoutback is taking a community approach to [...]
