This blog was created to amuse, inspire and chronicle the year in the life of a computer-nerd/stay-at-home-mom turned Parapro. All events are REAL, but might be sprinkled with hyperbole. All names have been removed or altered to protect the not-so-innocent. While not meant to offend, there will inevitably be someone who is… my advice?
