I know there are just going to be way many posts about me complaining, but I find complaining on my computer to be more cathartic than complaining to my friends, especially since that way I can get my thoughts in order BEFORE complaining to my friends.
My son is 4. Like many children about that age, [...]

When I was little, only men on TV had midlife crises and these were generally easily taken care of by a new sportscar (to be returned at the end of the program) or a mistress (who went flitting away as the man gradually came to his senses and went back to his grateful wife). Men with [...]

After a lovely yet tiring day on the Valley Railroad’s Steam Train and riverboad ride, my son conked out in the back of the car. It had been perfect weather…cool air, sun, a little too much pollen (the engineer announced we were coming up to a “meadow”, but it was really a teeming field of [...]

Or I would, if I could get some sleep.
My mother would supply here that I have never been much of a sleeper…as a child, I walked and talked in my sleep and rarely, if ever, napped. But let me tell you…I have hot, steamy fantasies of sleeping in my own bed…alone…no one to fight for the covers, [...]
