Fifteen Hours

September 9, 2020 by not your average mom 7 Comments

In fifteen hours I’m leaving to take Number 4 to school. She starts her freshman year at the boarding school she worked her ass off to get into. When she discovered the school two and a half years ago, she decided she was going there for high school. We told her she could go, but […]

A Lot Of Shit Can Go Down In Thirty Years

July 25, 2017 by not your average mom 4 Comments

This past Saturday, I attended my 30th high school reunion. Thirty years!!! How is it possible that I am old enough to say I did anything thirty years ago? I definitely do not feel that old. Well, I guess that’s not totally true. Physically, there are times when I do feel older. When I get […]

August 31, 2016 by not your average mom 1 Comment

This year we have a kindergartener, first grader, second grader, fifth grader, sixth grader, and high school senior. We’ve got at least one kid in each school in the district.

This is a good story.

August 23, 2016 by not your average mom 6 Comments

I have a story to tell you. It’s kind of two parts that eventually come together. Here is the first part… I have recently reconnected with an old friend from high school. We weren’t particularly close friends back then. He’s two years younger than me, and actually better friends with my brother who was in his […]
