One Friday afternoon, 2024 It was a sticky , sweltering afternoon in July. I lay motionless on the wicker two-seater that now served as my sofa, since my husband had sold all of our furniture, dishes and cutlery to fund some crack pipe project, like saving disadvantaged gnomes in the inner city. It was so […]
Well, it’s almost 10 pm EST and the world didn’t end. I wish I had made the time to print up some t-sirts. They would say: May 21, 2011 – No Rapture, No Judgment, No Sh*t Today’s post isn’t about the wack jobs who quit their jobs 6 months ago to spread “God’s” message that […]

Nadjah has had a difficult kindergarten experience, to say the least. She spent 2 months of the first semester in Ghana where she was behind her peers, finished up […]
