invite you over to their house for Thanksgiving dinner? I enjoy the holidays so much because we have a "no in-law" policy at the Brundidge home. We've decided that no in-laws can come to visit and we will not go to visit them either. That is so stress free and it keeps our marriage in tact. I remember one year we had Shawn's momma for Christmas and my family for New Year's. Now, not that we don't love our families and enjoy seeing them, but by the time you get settled and back to life as normal,… Continue

I'm glad I made it through the night. I was on suicide watch and my doctors upped my dose of "happy" pills so that I wouldn't do something drastic in the wake of this tragic news! I ain't been this down and out since Michael Jackson died. And before that, it was when the Fat Boys broke up... but now this! My beloved sister Oprah Winfrey has declared that after 25 years on the air, she is saying good bye to day time television.

Today on her Friday Live show, Oprah is supposed to announce that sh… Continue

You just never know what will trigger a memory for someone. A scent, the way the sun rises, a hard rainfall... at times, living in Minnesota, I long for the hot and steamy summers of the south. And sometimes, just sometimes, when it hits 80 degrees and the sun is shining over the Mississippi River in St. Paul, I remember those days when we'd be down in New Orleans, on that part of the Mississippi River, skippin' rocks! If I'm in the grocery store and I can smell the scent of baked bread, I remem… Continue

Oh my goodness! This morning, I dropped Andrew off and he was so excited to see his friend Luke that he nearly jumped out of his skin. Luke was sitting there, half asleep, putting on his shoes (they don't get to wear regular shoes in the classroom so they gotta put on slippers) and Andrew started in on him, "Hey Luke! I'm going to the Nickelodeon Universe on Friday if I don't pee-pee on myself. I love it there, they have helicopters and all kinds of fun stuff! But if I pee pee on myself I don't… Continue

If you'll recall last month, Andrew took his first set of "school photos" at his new "big boy school". It almost cost me my marriage because on the day of the school photo shoot, Andrew had a real photo shoot for Target (mo money, mo money, mo money) and my husband decided that Andrew would take his school pictures instead! Well, this is the result...

I was chatting it up with my girlfriend Beretha in Minneapolis on this the last day of my vacation in Atlanta. I called to get a full report about what's been going on at my house. No woman should ever leave town and not have someone assigned to watch over her husband and her house without them knowing about it. Before leaving Minneapolis on Wednesday morning, I gave Beretha specific instructions to post up in the bushes across the street from my house while I was gone. I gave her my stalking ki… Continue
