Perpetually lost between reality and fantasy, I am a day dreamer and single parent to a very energetic six year old son, and currently relocating back to Sunny St. Croix, USVI where I was born and raised. Raising a boy has been exciting, fun, challenging, frustrating, and requires constant strategic planning! But I love it. He laughs and mocks my obviously girlish ways ("Mom, you can't wear heels to my football games!") but he loves snuggling and drinking hot chocolate as we watch movies.
I'm on a mini-vacation with my son. Well, truly, we came to Florida so my son could have an operation, but he is doing so well that we are able to have a bit of fun. Anyhoo, I digress. As we were in a store yesterday, this kind lady offered to watch my son (he got t ... Read more...
Okay, this is more of a "please help me" post as it is my opinion on a topic. My son will be 9 this summer, and after two years of living with my parents, a move that while strategic, has also given me heartburn, we are moving into our own home! With this comes New ... Read more...

Happy New Year all! I am glad that 2012 is over, not because it was bad, but because 2013 promises to be better than 2012. I'm an eternal optimist. I was actually READY to get back to work today, after being off for two weeks. I was well rested and ready to attack t ... Read more...
So, as I checked my Twitter timeline this morning - imagine my SHOCK to see SantaClaus posting that we indeed have 10 MORE SHOPPING SATURDAYS until Christmas! (I used my good ole iphone Calendar to verify this - it's true). Honestly. I'm just getting BACK into the h ... Read more...
Yes, those same eyebrow raises you are giving when reading this headline is the same exact expression I had when I first encoutered Sh*tty Mom. The rest is history. I have to admit - I have a tendency to play myself up to other moms, especially those that have it to ... Read more...
So, unless you are in a profession where you get summers off too, or have round the clock caretakers/nannies/live in babysitters - you probably dread summer vacations as much as I do. The thing about school? You have a place to take your child to, every day of the w ... Read more...
So, today my son received the holy sacrament of Communion. Obviously, he is Catholic. So, sometime long ago I went through the same "rights of passage" baptism, reconciliation, communion, confirmation and marriage. I said sometime long ago, because somewhere in my e ... Read more...
