Christmas with Teenagers
Christmas with Teenagers This poem was written as a mom and how my own two teenagers were making us feel this particular year during the holidays. 'Twas several weeks before Christmas and all through the house, Teenagers were wishing and starting to pout. For their gift list was long and expensive as hell, Mom and Dad worked real hard to keep cool and not yell. "Don't you remember at all, a single thing you've been taught?" "Tis the season of giving, not to add up what's been bought!" We help feed the homeless and donate to … [Read more...] about Christmas with Teenagers

Premonition – Or Horrible Daydream?
I had a horrid premonition on Monday. I was taking T. to the pediatrician. The rain was pouring down out of the sky as though every angel in heaven was crying. So fast, so furious, that you could not see an inch in front of you, and even the wiper blades on the speed-of-light setting were of little use.
