Somebody needs to get his ears checked.

Remember this post?  A more recent conversation:  Anna:  Mom, I want a Bratz doll on my birthday list. Me:  No, Anna.  I don’t like Bratz dolls. Anna:  Why? Me:  They just don’t look like they have Jesus in them.  (Judgmental.   Pharasaical.  … Continue reading

And, I’m spent.

I’m not doing a very good job pacing myself lately.  And believe me, I like a good pace that includes enough time for Facebooking, General Hospital, and working out sitting on my sofa with a box of Cheez-its.  I won’t … Continue reading
