Cynical Words: Pay It Forward
http://cynicalwordsofwisdom.blogspot.com/2010/05/pay-it-forward.html
This blog has been named Cynical Words. I have chosen this title because, as much as I hate to say it, I have become far too cynical for my young age. Now the word cynical is an adjective meaning bitterly or sneeringly distrustful, comteptuous, or pessimistic. This is not to be confused with the word hypocritical which means to have actions contrary to their stated beliefs. Friday, May 21, 2010. MY ADVICE: PAY IT FORWARD! June 6, 2010 at 12:49 PM.

For the third time in a four month period, I have Laryngitis. I rarely get sick and seldom go to the doctor. I thought that I was either fighting an infection or simply catching every darn cold that came along. Time for a doctor visit.

School started, I turned 47 (EGAD! And here is Halloween looming before us. It never ends, does it? Fortunately, I'm not a big enough nutcase to think I can.

Many. hurts. Once, the silence lasted for two days. If Thing Two is sad.she is quiet. So, terribly, terribly quiet. The first year is hard. The second is harder. Thing Two ...

The Middle of Where? The really frightening thing about middle age is you know you'll grow out of it! Tuesday, October 28, 2014. And Now for Something Completely Different. I've spent a lot of blog time writing about the girls, their drama and trauma and my own insanity and insecurity. Today's blog, however, is on a different subject: Our Boy. We are all over it!
