It has been a dull, dreary weekend. It started for me at 6:20 am on Saturday when Mark woke me up with the words no one likes to hear, “Mom, I feel like I’m going to barf.” Fortunately no barfing ensued, but unfortunately he spent the weekend feverish, lethargic, and without an appetite.

Waiter, I’ll have the house salad, but I don’t want the regular dressing. I want the balsamic oil and vinegar. But I want it on the […]
