Career Killer?

September 30, 2009

When The Poo was born, our plan was for my mom to watch her when I went back to work.
My first day back in the office was snowy and cold. I sucked in my tummy and zipped up my trousers, pulled on knee socks. I bundled The Poo up in fleece pajamas and a blanket.
We [...]

I’m Just Going To Put Down Some Hay And Be Done With It

September 28, 2009

I am convinced that when my children go to bed, they unzip their human suits and reveal their real selves—tiny, adorable, DISGUSTING PIGS.
I had an unexpectedly light work load today, and The Babyman was remarkably cooperative. He slept late and took a textbook-perfect nap. I had plenty of writing I could have done during those [...]

Which Comes First, The Parents or The Kids?

September 9, 2009

I’m still resting up, or at least as much as I can considering that The Babyman is handing me the car keys and begging me to “Go! Go!” So I asked my newest blog friend, Hollee Schwartz Temple, to guest post for me.

Holding Pattern

September 7, 2009

I just don’t know what to say anymore.
Last night on Twitter, I told Scary Mommy that I am blogstipated. And I am. I want to write but the words won’t come right now. I don’t know, maybe I’m using all of them up during the day, when I write for money. Maybe I’m just pushing [...]
