My girls love the Archer Farms Monster Trail Mix. It’s everything you don’t want your trail mix to be – loaded with chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, M&Ms, and precious little of the healthy stuff that distracts your taste buds from the real reason you bought it in the first place – the junky part.…

Because you were wondering, I’m sure, just what my child was exposed to. Over the course of this school year, my daughter has developed five of these symptoms on a fairly regular basis during her stay at Pegasus Landing Apartments, affiliated University of Central Florida housing. (This is not Brighid’s apartment – just a photo…

It’s like a soap opera, isn’t it? I know you are tuning in today to catch the latest in the lingering saga. The bad part about this soap opera is no one gets to see Ryan (Cameron Mathison) shirt-less. When we last saw our heroine, Mom, (although we can’t really call her a heroine, since…

This is my first without all of my girls home, and it’s a bit lonely. Brighid is off in NYC with her girlfriend, hopefully having the time of her life! But I miss her 😦 Jim and the kids have been incredible. Eilis made me the most adorable gift, and Granuaile did a craft…

About three weeks ago, they removed mold from the area around Brighid’s bedroom window, promising to come back when the area was dry to pain it with a special paint that would inhibit the growth of additional mold. They have never come back to paint. I phoned the front office yesterday to ask for copies…

Here’s some background, because people asked. They knew I couldn’t possibly have become a horrible mother overnight – it had to be a gradual “You Suck at This Mother Thing” process. To begin with, when Brighid moved into her apartment at Pegasus Landing back in August, I had a long list of items I wanted…

Don’t spell check this one, folks. As fast as my fingers can type, anger is flowing out of them and onto my blog. And it might be long. Go get a snack. And a drink. Make it coffee. Skip the decaf. So, many years ago, we had a tiny baby and named her Brighid. She…

I was concerned about lunch today, because I ordered the mushroom souffle and Gruyere Cheese panini on whole wheat ciabatta bread. After the bread difficulties I had with breakfast, I was not excited. To make matters worse, I don’t know if other bypassed people have this problem, but bread microwaved can be disastrous. I didn’t…

Breakfast today was a miss, and it was entirely my fault. When I saw the description – Hawaiian Pineapple Stuffed Whole Wheat French Toast with Strawberries and Blueberry Cottage Cheese, my mind immediately went to Tonga Toast – only with Pineapples. I forgot all about the cinnamon and sugar and fried goodness that makes Tonga…

Mango Vanilla Pudding is my treat tonight, and I really had to wait until after 9 o’clock to enjoy this smooth, light, delicious dessert. I was so full from dinner, there was no way I was going to enjoy this if I had eaten it any earlier. There are no photos of the pudding –…
