It's that time of year...
KDWB Christmas Wish Season!!!If you don't remember what happened last year, you can catch up here.Since I'm fairly certain the link won't be clicked, here's what happened (in a nutshell). KDWB, a local pop radio station, grants people going through tough times a Christmas wish. I took a chance, and submitted a friend of mine to have a KDWB Christmas Wish granted. She was a teacher at a local school, and had mentioned how the kids in her classroom came from tough homes, some without socks or beds to sleep in

I See The Light
Just over two years ago, I started at my present company. At the time, I found out the health insurance of my current company was DIFFERENT than what I was previously accustomed to. At that very moment, my heart shattered into a million pieces.See, I had been taking little man to the same clinic that I had gone to since I was a baby. I was familiar with their policies and procedures. The clinic felt like an extended family.I was under the impression my favorite clinic ONLY accepted my former health insurance. Boohoo, litereally.I have gone for two years (+) taking little man to various Minute-Clinic's for an ear infection or other miscellaneous illne

Karaoke S.O.S.
The beer is flowing. The lighting is dim.The music is blaring....Karaoke style.I always find myself paging through the song selections for what feels like HOURS...only to settle on songs I've sang a dozen times(+). My fail safes that aren't necessarily crowd pleasers (either because I suck at singing, because they're usually country tunes, or both of the previous...I digress).

Dear Friday,
You only come around once a week, and I'm not sure if I'm alright with that. Most times, you seem to sneak up on me...and I'll tell you one thing for certain, I'm ALWAYS glad when you're here. Why can't you come around more often? Would that be too much to ask? Most of the time you think you're high and mighty...which, I don't blame you for. I mean, your competition is pretty weak.

I hope you take my request into serious consideration.Looking forward to seeing you in

Clean Sweep.
I'm not afraid to admit that I loathe cleaning. It's a task I find extremely mundane, and boring...and I always have better things to do than to sit at home and clean, which is why my home is usually is shambles.For the past month, I've been particularly HORRIBLE at doing simple chores like picking up the house, laundry, doing the dishes, etc. I felt justified since every weekend for the past month I have dealt with a sickness of my own, or a sick little man.For as much as I HATE cleaning, I approached this weekend with a spark of cleaning motivation. I had made a list that is LITERALLY two pages long, and was determined to cross two things off of the list (note: each "thing" is
