Going out to buy my son a dress today…

What?!  You’re going to do what?! Flickr pic from Dizzy Girl I’m going to buy my 13 year old son a dress this afternoon.  Pretty typical, right?  Haha!  Ok, he’s going to be in a Womanless Beauty Pageant at school! Isn’t that hysterical? A good friend of my other son was in it last year, and although we didn’t go (said son doesn’t like to inform me of much..hrmph…), the pictures were a SCREAM! His mother actually took him to some [...]

11 boys trying out for 10 spots on the tennis team

Our high school is in the middle of tennis tryouts.  My son is one of the ones trying out.  They get together and do drills and stuff for several days before the coaches make their final decision.  Shawn has been getting home and riding his bike up to the college every day, where they are [...]

The reason that I ask these questions is because a fellow blogger, who just so happens to be deaf, was so poorly treated yesterday at a Steak and Shake in Chicago, that I was wondering if we were in some kind of weird a$$ time warp. She was picking up her kids from school and in between schools, she decided to go through the drive-thru of Steak and Shake for a shake for herself and her child. She [...]

Tom Cruise cannot go on a vacation

God bless his poor little heart! I feel for him so much – he cannot go on a vacation! It’s true, I swear! Just watch this: I know you must feel as badly for him as I do! He’s too busy saving the freaking world – he just cannot go on vacation. He, and they, [...]
