Welcome to my cozy little Blog—a place where I unapologetically untangle my thoughts, parade my so-called wisdom, and occasionally drop nuggets of information you didn’t ask for. Insightful musings? Random ramblings? I’ll write, you decide.

Flowers are meant to be wild
Whoa! How did we survive our own kids?
Last night, we hosted our first boys night campout with four of our grandboys. (Finnian is still too little) Let me tell you, it was no walk in the park having those little rascals in our formerly empty nest. Dennis was needed to hit the pipe! One on one they are great, sweet and well behaved kids... but they feed off each other and form a gang that we aren't in control of! lol
We set up a tent, roasted marshmallows, and went swimming in the pool. We even had a blast playing in the yard after dark and watching a movie, complete with a massive stash of snacks. The boys seemed to have a blast, but let me tell you, this once-a-year shindig is a serious reminder of why we limit our hosting duties. Dennis swears that girls are a piece of cake compared to boys. Maybe he's onto something there.
Our New Crew
These two are 2 weeks apart. They are only 5 & 7 weeks old here and already I can see their personalities coming through!

Busy Signal ALL DAY LONG
Dealing with rule-breakers who believe they're above policies? Pfft, can't handle it! And when they try to intimidate me, I just laugh. News flash, I actually know labor laws - I don't make 'em up! Bullying won't get you any points with me, honey. Try a different approach if you want to be heard.
Poor Work Ethic and Going Nowhere Fast!
Attention, parents! If you want your kids to escape the basement and actually make something of themselves, here's a tip: hands off their job! Stop calling their boss, stop coddling them, and definitely stop quitting on their behalf. Otherwise, they'll end up stuck in a dead-end job, forever doomed to live under your roof. Let's face it, they'll burn bridges and lack the resources they need to succeed. It's time for parents to step up and teach their children the value of hard work. Trust us, they'll thank you later!
