With that header picture I thought you would at least mention Meghans collaboration with Smartworks to provide wardrobe staples to unemployed women. Why give all that space to this opportunist? 

Five more days till Autumn, kids!

Thank you so much!

I hate people who treat dogs and cats like they're disposable! So glad you saved her, such a pretty girl. 

What a gorgeous kitty.  I have a soft spot for tortoiseshells (my own is one) but legitimately gorgeous nonetheless. And there is a special, extra-roasty spot in hell reserved for that person at the gym.

Oh don’t worry, I have been. But there’s a lot! I just put it in the oven and there’s 2 pumpkins left plus a container full of scraps.

Jury’s still out at the high school, though they do show an impressive amount of patience so far.

All dogs are precious.

I am not doing well.  My sped class that I was so excited about this school year has been marred by drama and lack of support.  My aide and I are extremely frustrated and are wondering what it will take for admin to help--short of quitting.  It is affecting the relationships of my own family.  And it's not the kids.…

It’s finally happened! After 12 years of waiting, I got my voucher for subsidized housing! I’m super thrilled and slightly panicking. I can’t afford to move until I sell my RV, but I can’t sell my RV until I have someplace to move. I feel a little stressed about it, but I just keep reminding myself that I’ve done…
