After months and months of endless agony, I have finally found the answer to one of life’s most pressing questions. The question is why is it that it gets more difficult every month to find alone time with my husband. And as luck would have it the answer has been there all along. It stems from my inability to recruit help cleaning house, and doing other chores like cooking and laundry.
One could gather that I am frustrated at the mere thought of this. Yet I don’t have a clue how to fix it. Nagging does not work. Yelling and screaming definitely does not work. And leaving the house a mess with the expectation that someone else will clean it, is a pipe dream at best. So what is the answer?
I have often dreamt of whisking my family away to spill my guts on one of those TV talk shows. You know the ones I am talking about. The shows like Dr. Phil, Oprah, Maury Povich, and The Montell show. In my dream the host berates my family for their lack of appreciation. And coaches them on the proper way to treat the woman of the house. And of course no show would be complete without the husband breaking down and sobbing, while he apologizes for neglecting his wife. We return home and the family is helpful and courteous and actually pulls their weight around the house.
But wait………I suddenly wake to the harsh reality of motherhood. It is 3 a.m. and everyone is in bed but me. I wait patiently for the washer to finish running so I can get one last load in before bed. And I am madly catching up on work on my blogs. I missed my opportunity to crawl under the covers with my husband, and snuggle while watching a movie. Sigh, I miss the quiet evenings we used to have when the kids were little. It seems as though life was simpler back then. As much as I hate to say it…..I wish I could just disappear with my husband. We would run away to a secluded beach where we could sip Pina Coladas all day and forget about the endless chores waiting at home. But it is just a pipe dream. And I am faced with the harsh realities everyday.
Maybe if I close my eyes I can drift back into dream land……..and spend my sleep dreaming of my beach.

From Jeffersonville, Indiana comes a story of a lawyer who really knows how to party. After a wild night of dinner and drinks he was found asleep in his neighbors garbage can.
On Wednesday morning Larry Wilder was found asleep in his neighbors garbage can. The neighbor called police who responded and found him headfirst in the garbage can, asleep. The police said that no crime was committed and that Mr. Wilder was not charged. But it does seem that he is suffering a bad case of embarrassment.
He claims that he had dinner and drinks with a client. And that he was driven home by his clients’ limousine. But after that he remembers very little. One can only imagine the amount of alcohol that was ingested to make him fall asleep in his neighbors garbage can.
I only hope that a great time was had by all. Maybe one day he will remember what happened. Let’s just hope that he lays off the booze for a while. Or that he falls asleep in his own bed after getting drunk.

This story comes to us from the great state of Nevada. Picture this…..your a high school student on your way to school for the day. When you get to the school you can’t help but notice a man, lying naked, and tied to a rock. You approach the man and ask if he needs help. The man replies “No”. So, you do the next best thing……..you call the police.
When the police show us they arrest they ask him why he is naked and tied to a rock. To which the man replies that he is watching buzzards flying overhead. Gee, it must be a new technique for watching birds. Does it make a person feel closer to nature? Or is it a new way to attract the birds closer to you? But I think the better question is how did he get tied to the rock if he was alone. Don’t you need another person to tie you to a rock?And where was the other person?
Things that make you say hmmmm. Amazingly enough the man was only charged with loitering. Shouldn’t their have been additional charges? Well hopefully the next time he decides to go bird watching he will pick a more secluded spot. Preferably one far away from a school as possible.

I want to write today about a story that has touched my heart deeply. It is a sad story that will break your heart.
This is about a little 5 yr old girl in a town not too far from mine. She was abducted and was missing for 11 days. And yesterday she was found buried in a shallow grave and covered in cement. A horrible killing to say the least and a senseless one at that. And one that just breaks your heart when you hear that the mother was romantically involved with a sex offender.
Now of course everyone is innocent until proven guilty. But if they find that this man is connected to her death……..I say they should return to the middle ages, and have him drawn and quartered. Or we should return to the days of hanging offenders in public executions. We should not be allowing these types of criminals to live in our communities. And they certainly should not be allowed to enjoy life in our prison systems. And the mother deserves the same treatment for allowing a sex offender to be with her child.
If nothing else comes of this……..I hope that each and everyone of my readers will hug their children a little tighter tonight. And tell them that you love them. And do everything in your power to protect them from harm.

Once again a criminal has been caught in the act. From Santiago, Chile comes a woman caught smuggling drugs onto a plane bound for Spain. I bet your saying nothing unusual about that, well think again. This time the drugs were not hidden in the suitcase. No, the suitcase was actually made using a combination of the drugs and a mixture of resin and glass. Just another example of good police work and the craftiness of the criminal mind.
