I think most of you know that Neil and I have been the primary care givers for our son, Jude, pretty much until a week and a half ago.  I work regular 9-5 hours and Neil works 4-12 so that we could work it out this way.  On my husband's way into work, he drops Jude off at my Mom's for that cross over period where we both need to be at work and I ( Read more... )

I had never heard of the "Fruitcake Lady" until I received this link as a forward.  Some of you may have heard of her from Jay Leno's Tonight Show.  This is his tribute to her.  It is absolutely hilarious!  Make sure you have about 7 1/2 minutes and your sound up to watch it.

In order to get that paycheck.. I am required to pass a random urine test, which

This past Saturday morning I went to Macy's - reluctantly, I might add as I had chosen to boycott them after they took my beloved Strawbridge's from me.  I went only to buy maternity clothes.  I have been looking around at a lot of places and they appeared to have a very good selection and reasonable prices.  I also had a 20% coupon that no where ( Read more... )
