Fed Up

I am fed up with men who inadvertently insult me for being a stay at home mom and/or woman. The sad thing is that they don’t realize they are being insulting or sexist. Ironically, I guarantee I have a higher IQ than these men, that in my life I have been paid a higher salary than [...]

Home is Where Your Friends Are

Sometimes I contemplate not writing a blog.   I am sure at some point this will happen.   The reason being is, among the numerous reasons I had for resigning, one was that I grew tired of feeling like I was being beaten up by complete strangers as it related to my work.  This was a very minor [...]

Giving UPS a Second Chance

UPS Sucks

Remind me to never ever use UPS.   They suck.   I vow now to use FedEx from this point forward.   UPS has done the magnificent job of completely screwing up a shipment of $500 worth of medication for my mother who is on vacation with us and no one there can help me, or rectify the situation.  [...]

Marketing to Mommy

Just got this in an email and found it interesting.     My own two cents are, when it comes to grocery shopping, why’s it so darned difficult to find healthy food for my kid???   I mean, a popsicle box will read “All Natural” and the first ingredients are water and fructose.   Sure, I guess fructose is [...]
