It was first thing in the morning and I was still in my robe when my son Alex came into the kitchen. “How’d you sleep?” I asked as I put water in the kettle for my tea. “Not great.” Alex said as he went and got a tissue. “I think I’m coming down with something.”Continue reading “BOWL OF LOVE”

PUMPKIN SPICE
My husband Steven came into our bedroom with his hands up to his nose. “Why do my hands smell like pumpkins?” He asked with a confused look on his face.

HURRICANE HAIR
I was grabbing my car keys out of the basket on the kitchen counter when my husband Steven came into the kitchen. “Are you going somewhere?” He asked. “I’m going to get my hair done.” I answered as I went to the sink to fill my water bottle. “But we’re in the middle of aContinue reading “HURRICANE HAIR”
NOT FEELING THE BENEFITS
“Oh, man.” I moaned as I walked into the kitchen holding my stomach. “My belly isn’t feeling so good.” My son Alex took a step back. “Are you sick?” He asked with a concerned look on his face. “No. I just took a fistful of vitamins a while ago and they’re not sitting well.” IContinue reading “NOT FEELING THE BENEFITS”

DOOMSCROLLING
I was sitting on my couch, scrolling through my phone, when I heard my son Alex in the kitchen making his lunch. “Did you hear Tim Curry passed away?” I called to him. “Who?” “Tim Curry.” Alex came around the corner from the kitchen. “Never heard of him.” “What?” I shook my head. “He starredContinue reading “DOOMSCROLLING”
GHOST TOWN
I was sitting on my back deck, leaning forward in my chair and scanning our back yard, when my husband Steven came outside. “What are you looking for?” He asked.

SPOON PLEASE
My husband Steven and our son Alex and I were at one of our favorite summer dinner spots, the boardwalk. We were walking along the boardwalk, watching the seagulls swoop down looking for any food left unattended, when we stopped for a slice of pizza.
