It's that time of year again, right? The temperatures are steadily cooling down, sidewalks and lawns are awash in crunchy fallen leaves, and each glance out the window confirms the not-so-long ago disappearance of summer. Okay, perhaps I'm a bit late on the realization that summer is now ...

I grew up in a military family. My
father was a career Air Force officer, as was
his father. My brother joined the Army a few years after high school and served two tours in Bosnia before he got out. Of course then he gave my mother a heart ...

Welcome November! My second least favorite month (next to February) of all the months in the year. Perhaps you're thinking, really, does this lady rank her months? Well, it's not quite like that. Historically November and February are boring, unexciting, cold and usually wet months, sometimes ...

When a huge new gym with a low monthly fee opened a mile from my house, I was excited to try it out. During the tour, I asked about the TV in the childcare room. In my previous gym, the childcare worker yakked on the phone with her back to the room while the TV babysat her charges. "Well, ...

This weekend I am headed to my home state of Utah, where I haven't been in
more than a decade, to see some old high school friends, most of whom I
haven't seen for more than fifteen years. We're going to hang out, hot
tub, watch silly movies, and talk, talk, talk. I'm not sure what
to expect. ...

For as long as we have had children, my husband and I have had the same routine on Halloween. I stay in and hand out candy. He takes the kids trick-or-treating. We have had minor variations in the years the baby or toddler stayed home with me, but for the most part our Halloween does ...

My daughter's 4th birthday party is Tuesday. As in next week. I just gave out the last invitation today. The other two I gave out the day before that. One didn't even get handed out, I just called her friend's mom. To my credit I did send out a save the date email two week ago. I know most of ...

My phone has been ringing off of the hook. Do I know some really sweet gossip? Did I do something astounding? Did my team win the Super Bowl? No. I've been insanely out of touch, only if you count quitting my old job as something astounding and none of the teams I root for are about .500. My ...

My four year old has been having a lot of trouble in his pre-kindergarten class this year . There have been evaluations and meetings with the school and observations and we all end the same place, we just don't know what is wrong.
An Occupational Therapy evaluation showed that he had low ...

Would you wait 3 ½ hour hours for the swine flu
vaccine? I never thought I would
but I did. Call me crazy but we recently crossed the border into DC and stood in line with tons of other
families for the opportunity to get the highly coveted H1N1 vaccine. As a teacher, ...

I married into one of those names that people misspell frequently. In fact, I still pause at times to make sure I am spelling it correctly, even after seven years of marriage. The last two letters (le) are easy to reverse (el). But that is still no excuse for people and organizations who ...

"We do not currently have the H1N1 influenza vaccine. If you are calling about another matter please remain on the line for a scheduler."
"Has anyone found the H1N1 vaccine anywhere ?"
That's the message on our pediatrician's phone line and the question that has been asked dozens of times ...

It came as a surprise to me when I found myself standing in my kitchen several nights this week slowly and methodically carving pumpkins. It was calming, zen-like work and I was getting excited to put them outside and entertain and amuse my neighbors. This, from someone who just one year ago ...

When it comes to birth control do you
feel like you have a lot of options? Now
think about being 35 years old and over. Still feel you have as many options? What if your body doesn't agree with the hormones it has and adding more just compounds ...

I love my iPhone. I've been an iOwner
for only 2 months now, but already I'm addicted.
I've been using a PDA since 2000, so none of this is new to me, but the iPhone is just so much better! My boys, ages 3 and 5, also adore my phone. I have ...

My October has been cursed, I tell you. In addition to dealing with my mother's first death anniversary, an unexpected hit-and-run accident (gotta love immoral gits who crash into stationary cars in parking lots), paying for a ridiculous amount of unrelated car repairs, acting a single parent ...

I am not going to pretend to be an expert on the subject of the Post 9/11 GI bill ; I am not a veteran myself, nor am I married to one. If I make mistakes here; forgive me. I'm learning as I go and am trying my best to understand what appears to be a muddied, confusing mess involving ...

My son knows every car make and model. We regularly stop in parking lots for
him to admire unusual, tricked-out, shiny, as well as mundane , wait for it… hubcaps.
He loves steering wheels too.

I’ve always been a bit of a neat freak, trying to keep the house organized, things properly filed in the filing cabinet, the kitchen scrubbed down with spotless floors, bathrooms without a stray hair or spots on the mirror. I’m far from a perfect housekeeper as evidenced by the lack of ...

I'm not cut out for commuting to D.C. everyday. There I said it. As a WAHM, I like living in the middle of nowhere. The lack of street lights...the cows mooing near my backyard...the dead deer on the side of the road. Well, I love everything except the deer as my son started screaming at ...
