Conflicts
January 31st, 2008
Yes, I know it’s been a while. I’ve been busy, most recently with the decision to get a job. I had an interview for a position that is interesting, thought-provoking and inspiring. The only downsides are that the pay is minimal (base pay is anyhow) and that it would require kicking Pudding out of the [...]
It’s 10 PM, Do You Know Where Your Cookies Are?
January 15th, 2008
Okay, if anyone has been reading this with any regularity, you know that I am stuck in a rut when it comes to removing the final 6-8 pregger pounds from my frame. You know this. More importantly, I know this. So can anyone tell me why I am scarfing down Chips Ahoy at 9:55 at [...]
Thanks for…
January 15th, 2008
I haven’t done my Thankful post recently, although it’s been on my mind. I don’t have the longest list today, but here it is: I’m thankful for our cousin Sadia and her mom, Juana. These are cousins on my husband’s side, Juana being his dad’s sister. Sadia lives on the West Coast and was out [...]

I was complaining to Chloe’s mother about how I am having trouble getting the last ten stubborn pounds of baby weight to get the hell off of me. Then I came home and ate two big chocolate chip cookies. Right.
Underwear Comes Out of the Closet and Why Being a Mom is Like Dating
January 4th, 2008
A few days ago, when I went to pick up Punksin from school, I ran into one of my favorite kids. We all know it happens. There are kids who are okay. Kids you don’t even notice. Kids that you think are okay but their parents are smarmy assholes. Kids you don’t like so much [...]
Momy, Wut Duz THIS Spel?
January 2nd, 2008
As a writer and avid reader, it is so wonderful to see my daughter slowly enter the world of words. She has, of course, learned the alphabet. Then she learned to write her own name, quickly followed by my name. Then she learned to write all of the letters in the alphabet herself. This was [...]
