I haven't been feeling very bloggy lately.
For those of you, my loyal followers (all three or so of you) who may still be checking in, I apologize.
Thanksgiving went well. My mom refrained from saying anything really obnoxious. I'll write a more detailed post about it soon.
Lots of things going on that are sapping my mental energy since I last posted. Nothing horrible, just....Life.
Gawd, I can't believe it's 2009.
About Me
- Frenchie
- Las Vegas, Nevada, United States
- Hi, I'm Frenchie. I have two kids that keep me on my toes. I have made a transition from working mom to stay at home mom, and being on both sides of the equation, I've decided that being at home is pretty great. My son has Special Needs and it keeps life interesting. I tend to blog with a brain-dump style so it's not always pretty. Did I mention I also have ADD? Oh look, something shiny.
I'm On the List (Finally)

Glad your mom refrained, except that robs us of a juicy story.
