Things The Diva Said…
“Mommy, I’m having a bad hair day.” (I never say that. Not sure where she learned it.) Mama: Diva, why do you keep ripping the arms & legs off your little dollies & sprinkling them on my bed? The Diva: Because I don’t like them. So I said “No, no, no.” Mama: What are you […]
Ramblings, Ruminations & Sarcasm From The Half Way Sane

Is It Wrong To Want To Tranquilize Your Child?
First, let me say that I love my daughter more than my own life. I am awed by her every day. She is truly a miracle. I was supposed to be infertile (obviously not!) and had almost given up on ever being a mother to anyone or anything except my Demon Possessed Cat (more on […]
