The Countdown Begins
As recently noted in this post, my daughter is now eight and the years are seriously flying by faster than I ever could have imagined. I swear to God as soon as the drudgery of diaper changing is behind you, time speeds up. I’m not kidd

The Dissed and Disowned
I just got my annual open invitation to my step-aunt’s house for Thanksgiving *big sigh* This is always a downer for me because I know I won’t be going. And then I think about how long it’s been since I’ve seen everyone.

Little Enigma
About once or twice a year, I find myself writing about my how quickly my babies are growing up. I know it’s a well-worn path in the mommy blogosphere but I find myself there once again and I simply cannot suppress the urge to put my melan

Less…Mom-ish
In the interest of getting a grip (see previous post) and doing something that would make me feel a bit shinier and less mom-ish, I decided to use some of my birthday money (Yes, I had a birthday last week, didn’t mention it because hello?

I Want
Lately, I’ve been lost in my head. Daydreaming. Longing. Wishing I had a time machine or some such device that would let me be young again. It’s not that I want to relive MY youth, MY glory days, per se. I don’t want to repeat

You’re All Special, Wonderful, Winners
I recently threw a birthday party for my daughter. The shindig was held at a local park, because I’m cheap becoming a firm believer in the old-fashioned birthday party that doesn’t involve commercial characters, venues or entertainme

Naked Statue Men
Yesterday we were watching Rick Steve’s Europe. As you probably already deduced, it’s a travel show about Europe. And in Europe there are lots and lots of museums Rick Steve likes to visit and of course, edumacate us on the works of

Have You Met My Son?
My son, my baby, turned three in June. And like every parent has said at least once, where has the time gone? When I started this blog he was not quite six months old. I don’t write about my kids a whole lot, at least not in depth, for va

Yeah, well YOUR mom is a lunch box sniffer…
I’ve seen enough Hannah Montana crap in the past four days to last me a lifetime. Can you guess what I’ve been up to? Yep, I’ve been school shopping and birthday party shopping, both for my brand spanking new eight year old dau

I Like the Second Amendment
You know, I used to be really, really anti-gun. Hated them. Thought nobody should have one and all that. And I still don’t like them. I mean, they KILL people. But one day, while listening to some lame conservative talk radio, totally agai

The @#$% Thing is Finally Off

Get Mah Kicks on Route 66
I have a dream… I want to drive across America on old Route 66. Okay, it’s not really a dream, per se. That sounds a tad melodramatic. It’s really just more of a desire; something I’d like to do before it’s all been sw

Still Crazy After All These Years
You know, I make jokes, semi-jokes, about being crazy but the fact is, I’ve suffered from bouts of depression since I was 20 years old. Back then they didn’t push antidepressants like they do now. In fact, I remember my therapist asking m

Better
The huz had to go out of town for work this week and his trip just happened to fall over our 14th wedding anniversary, which does suck a little, though we plan to make up for it when he returns this weekend. I’ve been completely exhausted by th

The One Where I Fret About My Head — Again
Feel free to skip this post. It’s just me slowly coming undone and writing about it again. But I really need to because otherwise, I might just implode from the trifecta of exhaustion, anxiety and depression. Oh, and the cramps. I’m so ti

Mummy’s Little Lolita? Gag Me With An Acrylic Nail
Jayne is talking breezily about how Sasha had her first set of false nails glued on at eight, and now enjoys the sort of rigorous beauty regime - hair extensions, fake tans, pedicures - that was once the preserve of porn stars and Dolly Parton, not

The Real Reason I Didn’t Go to BlogHer
The truth is I was on off doing important Hollywood stuff this weekend. I didn’t want to tell you because nobody like a braggart and everyone would be all “That betch — she thinks she’s soooo cool. Hmmmph!” (check out mah s

Distractions
If you’re at BlogHer, you’re probably not reading my blog. If you’re NOT at BlogHer (like me), you’re probably tired of reading about how much fun everyone is going to have without you and because I’m feelin’ ya, I
