Back to School


This photo marked the beginning of their summer. I can't believe it's already over. I thought I would be relieved because I was running out of ideas to keep them occupied! All the school
supplies have been bought and I dropped them off this morning and instead of relief I am anxious for them. My little first grader just got right back in the groove. My new sixth grader is a bit nervous and rightly so. The school is bigger. He has classes in different buildings. I know he'll find his way but of course I'm a mommy and my heart aches! Soon enough this will be in the past and he will be a pro. For all you Mommies and Dads (of course,) just know you are not alone. We'll get through this one day at a time!

Something New: Barney's Version


I always stumble upon these little gems by chance. I saw a preview for the movie "Barney's Version" a few times and thought it was going to be a comedy of sorts. I went to visit my sister and talked her into watching it. What followed was a
story of a man's life that was hilarious, complicated, dramatic and sad at times. Things aren't always what they seem with this character played by Paul Giametti who was phenomenal and who I hope will get an Oscar award for this role. You can see the preview here:
