My mornings are all the same. I get up. I get the kids up. I feed the dog. I give the kids breakfast. I brew my coffee. I yell at the kids to finish up, brush their teeth, and get their shoes on before I start turning gray. We say bye to Murphy (the dog), close the front door, and pile into the car.

Tonight. Midnight. Breaking Dawn. Yes, I’m a Twi-Mom and proud. I read the Twilight books one after another in quick succession. I read them at the supermarket. I read them waiting at the dry cleaner. I read them while getting my nails done. I even read a line or two at stop-lights. I couldn’t get enough. I was ravenous. (See what I did there?)

Forget about reporting it, not one of the eyewitnesses even attempted to stop Sandusky’s criminal acts. Mike McQueary should be fired. I am horrified. And, I don’t care how beloved “JoePa” is or was or whatever. He knew what was going on and never went to […]
