I wish I had learned Spanish…
A new post out on Yahoo Shine from me! Take a look, make a comment. Feel free to give Manic Motherhood some love.
I’m having a little trouble with my teenager. You see, I was apparently elected Spanish teacher for the summer. Sadly, I do not speak Spanish, which makes teaching it difficult. Well, I know [...]
Thanks, teachers and coaches
It’s been busy here in the Manic house. Mainly I am busy, while Junior sleeps in, hangs with friends and tries to avoid chores. Ah, the joys of summer.

But [...]

OK, I admit it. That scream you heard last week? The one heard by every person on the planet? Yeah, that one. That was me.

With Father’s Day Sunday, I thought I’d take an opportunity to shout out to my Dad and say something I should have said long ago.
Thank you, Dad. Thank you for all the things you did for me while I was growing up. Thank you for all the things you continue to do for me, even [...]
I do not camp.
I posted this before with a link (an experiment that failed to be honest)…but now I’m putting it out there for all to see because it’s Wednesday, it’s hotter than Hades outside and the dog is barfing for reasons unknown to me, but which I believe may have something to do with stink bugs.
