Hilarious!! Can’t wait to read more from a fellow fibro-fighter!
i lived with my folks during nursing school, and i was 25,26,27-ish … it was so the same kinda thing. very funny! i’m liking your blog so much!
this is awesome. love reading your blog mary. congrats on all your success. love, giselle
Was that a REAL Bill O’Reilly image? Or am I having a dumbass moment??
This. Is. Hilarious. Love your blog!
Lol, I loved it.
This was great! For me, it’s not just Bill O’Reilly. Fox plays continuously here so I know all the programming from the morning show with Bill Hemmer and Martha MacCallum to Hannity after Bill. I even know, or can at least recognize most of the Fox news contributors.
Two years ago I separated from the United States Air Force, and moved back in with my parents and little sister after 8+ years in the military. It was truly a difficult transition since I had practically lived on my own since my enlistment after graduating from High school. At the time I had some community college classes and wanted to go into Nursing. I recently graduated with my degree in Biology with a minor in chemistry and currently now in Medical school. Keep pursing your dreams and never give up, that it one day at a time and you’ll get there.
Thanks for being a positive spirit out here for so many, while in the midst of your illness. Continue to do what you do, and I wish you the best in all your endeavours.
I’ll continue to read your posts as it provides much needed distractions after several hours of anatomy, physiology, medical biochemistry and genetics…

Thanks. I needed a laugh.
I laugh out loud every time I read one of your posts. You are hysterical and a gifted writer!
Hate to put a damper on the commentary, but just got back to my mom’s house after a heartbreak and there is no place like home to make you feel better
Thanks for another chuckle! You’re my hero!
I think more kids are having to move back home with their parents due to financial difficulties mostly. As a parent I love my kids, but it would be difficult to have them move back home. Of course I’d never say no, but heaven help us if that happens!
Multi-generational families will be the new normal again, just like after the depression. The bad news is, Bill O’Reilly.
I didn’t move out of my mom’s place until I was 27. You’re doing alright for yourself. If you’re bored someday, check out http://thirtyyearsandcounting.wordpress.com/ and let me know what you think.
Haha. It might be worse if you lived with your grandparents… I did that once…
I just moved back in with my parents after living on my own for 8 years…. I definitely have mixed feelings. I’ll definitely do dishes for good meals I don’t have to cook though! Thank goodness my parents don’t watch Bill O’Reilly
Brilliant – funnt and sooooo true.
*funny
I have so much to look forward to next year. Lol! Loved it!
the tv show things are halarious…19 kids..um So hear ya there,lol…and the ‘say yes to the dress’ thing at the end had me cracking up. so cute.

You don’t have to explain. I’m back at school and back at my parents, too. Whatev. It’s temporary and wayyy better than a bridge.
