Yesterday, while at school, my daughter experienced a LOCKDOWN situation When I first got the email notification, I thought it was just a routine drill. I texted the kiddo, “Hey, what’s going on at school, LOCKDOWN?” She responded immediately with a, “YES… we have no idea what’s going on.” She […]
It’s a BOY! Puppy Fever
There’s been a missing piece in the Sherman family home… and if you know me you know I’ve been battling puppy fever for almost an entire year! I will 100% admit, It’s was nice to not have stray pug hair on all my black clothing. The house was free of […]
Gigantic decision: When to say goodbye to your dog
This is my personal experience of making the decision to say goodbye to my dog, and the decision to call a compassionate pet vet.
Dear Covid, a short message from 2020. Love, thatgirljen
It’s been more than a while since I’ve posted on thatgirljen. When Covid-19 spread across the globe, much of the world stopped in its tracks. Priorities shifted as things changed and life was re-evaluated. With all the influx of conflicting information, it’s been the blind leading the deaf. No one […]
COVID-19 Greetings from our sofa!
Just a quick update, the Sherman clan are all still kicking. We’ve remained healthy and alive so far, knock wood. We’ve managed to remain home for days upon days that have melted into weeks upon weeks. It’s nearly unbelievable that it’s been over a month! Sometime in the beginning of […]

Ringing in the 2020’s
So let’s be honest with myself… around the time the kiddo got “back to school” in August 2019, I shifted my energies to that and COMPLETELY dropped the ball here. I’ve been busy and lazy and everything in-between. Life, happens. This post will simply be a short recap of the […]
I actually met Robert Smith of the Cure at LAX!
At first I wasn’t going to post about it, but then I thought, “Jen, this was KINDA a really big little moment in your life.” If you know me, you know these 2 things: First: I believe that all the wrong turns led me to the right place, and second, […]
WWE Summer Slam the Fiend – Fire Fly Fun House – this is my confession.
Fiend or friend, maybe both. I grew up NOT watching WWE Wrestling… and I HAVE BEEN MISSING OUT! Now, let me tell you, I grew up in St. Petersburg, Fl and lived in the Tampa Bay Area for nearly 40 years. I had numerous “sightings” of wrestlers, heck, I even […]
Summer is nearing an end…
This summer, we took it easy, REALLY EASY, and the kiddo thanked me. Since we homeschool, I usually attempt to schedule some schoolwork during the summer. Nothing too crazy, just a bit of reading, and math. My usual goal is to have 20-30 lessons complete by the end go July, […]
