Please excuse my lack of focus. As my family and friends know too well, I have quite an hard time keeping my attention on one thing very long. I’m in sales, and because I have close to a 1000 miles of windshield time most weeks, I have plenty of alone time with my thoughts. So, here’s a snippet of what went through my head on my Monday drive. Good luck embracing my absurd stream of con... Read More »
Well, hidy-ho!!! Fuck – I cannot get that Mr. Hanky song out of my head….. “It’s Mr. Hanky, the Christmas Poo – small and brown, he comes from you…..” Yep – I’m that mom. I’m the mom who, every morning at the breakfast table, says or does something so ridiculously inappropriate, and then giggles uncontrollably with our two boys as my hubby looks on, head hung low, defeated. They have three minutes... Read More »
So, I have a confession to make, and it’s kind of a silly/nerdy confession. For anyone who read my first post, knows that I am an animal lover and I’m also a vet tech, so this is where my confession stems from. (And I just came from work so it’s weighing on my mind).

I went in early to explain all of the issues that I have with my hair to her.. the semi-bald spots where I finally have regrowth and I am growing my hair out; that I do not want the highlights to...

As an American Government teacher, I spend a significant amount of time with my students at the beginning of each semester teaching the six principles of the United States Constitution. The thorough overview of each principle is intended to build a strong foundation for their understanding of our government and its complexities. Two of the six principles are Checks and Balances and Separation of... Read More »
I have been in the medical profession for over 20 years. I worked as a nurse’s aide then decided to become a nurse. It really is a love hate profession. I love it some days, but hate it others. I have learned over the years that you can not change people. You can suggest and tell them what you would do in a situation, but they will do what they want. People have to remember that doctors and ... Read More »
I met Hugo and Gert Ehlers in late 1994. I quickly discovered they were hard working people. Hugo worked at a steel factory and Gert taught physical education at a public school. Their two kids were already grown and living in different parts of the country. The Ehlers were always very careful with their money, dedicated savers, and good investors. They went to church each Sunday and were always i... Read More »
