Load to Nowhere
I feel the need to apologize. I think once upon a time, my blog was kind of funny. I mean, I’m no stand-up comedian, but I’ve been told I can be a bit witty. Lately, I have not been. Like, … Continue reading

End the Knee
Spring break has come and gone, and the Bomb Factory traveled to Virginia Beach and back. We saw antique planes, a very old lighthouse, Jamestown and Powhatan villages, and best of all, Busch Gardens. Stella was proud as punch that … Continue reading
Spew Hot, Spew Furious
I gotta unload, y’all. Felix did not “pass” his test to get back into the magnet school. Just like last year, I’m devastated for him and for all of us. I really thought we had it this time. He’s done … Continue reading
The Guilted Lily

Count Rushmore
The beginning of the school year is approaching fast. Too fast. I’m not ready. I’m already disappointed in Felix’s new school. When you have a kid who needs some extra care/support, everyone loves to tell you to “be proactive.” How … Continue reading
Fairwell
I must admit I’ve had my head in the sand. I’ve been avoiding stuff. Stuff around the house. Stuff at work. This stuff. School stuff. That’s the root of it all, the school stuff. I’ve reached that point where it’s … Continue reading
