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 [...]

Unbalanced

August 28, 2009

Last night I had a major meltdown. The kind of meltdown that starts with a small thing, a tease or a joke that would normally roll off your back.
But it doesn’t roll off your back. Instead, you find yourself yelling at the top of your lungs while your husband dusts the floorboards and your kids [...]

Five

August 26, 2009

Today is the fifth anniversary of my father’s death.
Every year, this day comes—and every year I am surprised by its power. This morning was like any other weekday in our house: The Poo woke up and came for a cuddle, The Babyman threw his banana on the floor and laughed like a deranged monkey.
