  Was I lying when I wrote about not apologizing for my dreams? Because I haven’t been doing much to further those dreams lately. I have been composing only in my head. At night. Long after everyone else in the house is asleep. Or I have been jot...

  Download audio file (Breakable.mp3) There are certain things my husband just will not do. It amazes me that he has the resolve to walk away so easily. To leave something undone. Without guilt. Without a second thought. To leave it in my hands. My han...

• Drunk Love – Song and Celebration

  Posted on Monday December 7th, 2009 at 23:40 in marriage, three kids, sarah writes, half-drunk challenge

  Excuse the typos. And the grammatical errors. And the nonsensicalness. But I? Am drunk. Most definitely so. Just wanted to impart two things tonite. In a silly way. And in a somewhat daring way. To keep the vibe of the challenge going. 1. Tonight, wh...

  So I read In the Trenches of Mommyhood. I write a post. I write a comment. I IM with Jen. And now I’m feeling kind of gung-ho. So here’s the resulting texting between myself and my husband. I’m sure he’ll be thrilled to see (a...

• A secret weekend

  Ooh I am so excited I can hardly contain myself. And I’ve never been very good at keeping a secret. Not this kind of secret anyway. I was better at the naughty girl secrets I had to keep from parents, siblings, and friends. I keep saying that&#...

  I am so terrifically mad at my husband right now that I want to spit. I shouldn't even be writing about this here. It's not a place to give people the wrong impression that I live with a terrible person or something. That's not the case, so please ta...
