Happy Valentine's Day. Really.
Pin itI mentioned yesterday that I am not a huge fan of Valentine’s Day. I don’t even know if “Valentine’s” should have an apostrophe. Sheesh. If it wasn’t for the glitter I think I’d shoot Cupid with his/her (yeah, another reason I don’t “get” it) own arrow. But I am actually trying to spread some [...]
Valentine's Day and the Blackness of My Heart
Pin it3 kids. 3 times the sugar-rush. Preschool, 1st grade and 3rd grade… Being the self-proclaimed Valentine scrooge that I am, I started this Friday the 13th off right – fuming about the ridiculosity of this “holiday”. My poor kids. I may be robbing the sweetness right on out of their Valentine-lovin’ hearts. *raises [...]
I'm glad I didn't tell the kids their cat was dead.
Pin itBecause he is not. I found him this morning and coaxed him back up to the house. I even had most of a post written tellong the world that our cat was dead. Barring actually having a cat corpse to prove it – I had enough circumstantial evidence to make my case: I found [...]

Anybody home? ONE JENNY??? Whether it’s an [...]

The hard part is — which story should I choose? Is it bad I have too many options? Here goes: My daughter Lucy was 2, [...]
And in all reality…
Pin itI am just a regular gal with a regular life… As much as I claim I am “made out of Awesome”, I pick my nose pass gas eat grapes fed to me by my pool boy trip up the stairs while wearing socks with my flip flops just like the rest of you. As [...]
Make Me Laugh Monday – No. Really. Make me laugh…
Pin itGuess what folks. I got nuttin’. Nuthin’. No. Thing. I am not depressed or down or… I just got no funny to share. I looked on YouTube, Funny.com (which I found when I Googled “funny”, cuz I am feeling THAT creative)… I even did a “humor” search in Google… and nuthin’. OK, there was [...]
Planning for Make Me Laugh Monday
Pin itTomorrow is Make Me Laugh Monday here at Jennyonthespot. But today, I am doing a call-out for funny. ‘Ol Jennyonthespot here is in a funny spot… or actually NOT in a funny spot… which is actually the problem. I got nothing to make people laugh tomorrow! I figured… since it’s called Make ME Laugh [...]
Make Time to Take Time
Pin itI have a new post up at Type-A Mom… Tell me, moms, how do you make time in your schedule to take some time for you? If your life is anything like mine, you most likely have little to no extra time in the day to add anything else. I am learning that it [...]
