So….clearly, we are having problems with King Gardens in Toronto, Ontario. They are owned by a company called Revera, Inc.
But we are not alone….small consolation. On the front page of the Toronto Star (last Monday) was an article about another one of their facilites….. an elderly woman passed away, but the funeral home couldn’t take [...]

Without hitting every last detail….here’s the latest on my poor grammy’s terrible ordeal:
Grammy was seen in the emergency room on Friday (after a 5+ hour wait). The good news: they determined the distended tummy was not life threatening…she was blocked up by the pain killers. The bad news: they didn’t check her back any further…so, [...]
Just plain negligence

This beautiful lady you see in this picture is my grandmother. She is posing with me on my first birthday, 30-some years ago. At 95, she is the only grandparent I have left, and the only one I have ever really known.
For my entire childhood, Grams, or Grammy as I call her (she calls me [...]
If only she let me take a picture….

I’ll set the scene for you:
This little girl has to go to the bathroom. She invites me in (demands my presence) when she has to poop. I walk in.
“Mommy, will you close the door so I can have some privacy?” No problem. Door closed.
“Thanks, Mommy. Now, just let me get my magazine. I like to [...]

My husband is gone for the next month. Training for a new job. He will get to come home July 3-5th, but other than that….the kids have only me.
Which isn’t so bad during the day.
But nighttime….well, that’s a different story. For 3 1/2 hours last night, Coop called out for his daddy.
“Daddy….where are you?”, “Daddy? [...]

So….let me set the scene for you.
I’m in Linens N Things….scouting out a little home decor (we’ve only been in our house for 18 months…figure it is time for me to get on the ball).
I’m singing along to the music overhead as I approach the end of an aisle. What do I see at the [...]

Make me absolutely insane????
Have you seen this thing? Better yet, have you heard it?
Of course….you would have had to have decided that McDonald’s was acceptable dinner fare for your children sometime in the last week to have the pleasure of this Kung Fu Panda’s company.
Any time you so much as walk by the damn thing [...]
