Ann Romney, conservative princess
Ann Romney’s second tweet ever ends with the words “All moms are entitled to choose their path,” -the modern day equivalent of “Let them eat cake”. Continue reading
Bizarro Spring
I hope this summer to find time to really learn Premier Pro and maybe put together something consistent enough to become a webcast. Seems like citizen journalism and audience content are really taking off right now so the time is right to get my act together. I’m really excited about it, but today I’d give anything to be able to ride my bike. Continue reading
The Blindergeist
…some terrible monster reaches up over the heads of my angelic children who I’m sure sit huddled in wordless anxiety over the creature that would do such a thing in blatant disregard for my feelings on the matter. Continue reading
Didn’t think I’d come through, did you?
I’m on task, two days in a row! (gasp, shock) Continue reading
Million Dollar Crooner
I spent a good portion of this afternoon working on my new blogging fan page, changing the name and layout and such -it felt like a waste of effort not to post a new one. Continue reading
Other People’s Children
Is it jumping to conclusions if this whole situation makes me acutely aware of all the other people in the world harming their children either directly or through neglect? Being a part of this situation today, on the heels of the Caylee Anthony case, really makes me worry for all of us. Continue reading
Accomplishment!
Yesterday was the perfect mix of messing around and getting things done. I took Charlie out to the playplace with his friend Evelyn (in his big-boy underwear, too!) and we played for a while. Then we went home and played out in the yard, enjoying the sun despite the chill. When his big brother got … Continue reading
Hump Day Can Be Pretty, Too!
Things are looking up today. Both of the kids battled a nasty stomach flu this past weekend, and between Saturday night’s isolated regurgitation and Tuesday mornings marathon puking… I’m done cleaning up other peoples stomach contents for quite a while, thank you. Fortunately, both boys recovered within 24 hours of the stomach cramping and otherwise … Continue reading
Back to the Present
During this morning’s writing exercise Charlie infiltrated the linen closet and found the baby powder and lotion. The powder was closed, fortunately, and too difficult for his little hands to open. The lotion on the other hand, was deposited in small gobs all over the house. Continue reading
2010: The Inner Odyssey
Lately I’ve been feeling changed somehow by life… or maybe it’s old age. I’ve been coloring sporadically growing white hairs for a few years now, and it doesn’t really bother me. Continue reading
Just For Today…
Today is the only time we can act upon destiny, and so we should focus our concern on the present rather than dwelling in the past or striving for the future exclusively. Continue reading
House of Diamond
Seriously, I know this will eventually amuse me… but I don’t know if my heart can stand it anymore. I need a vacation from this crap. Continue reading
House of Diamond
Status as of Wednesday night: most of the beads have been grabbed up by the hand ful -now I’m working about one square foot at a time picking the tiny glass beads out of the carpet fibers with my fingernails. Continue reading
Waxing Sun
A friend of mine was laughing over Charlie’s latest exploits and said she might start doing the 365 pictures thing (see my tag cloud) with just things that her toddler had destroyed during the day. I think any mom can easily say she’s got at least one toddler clean-up a day, so it occurred to … Continue reading
Feast or Famine
I just cannot seem to have any sort of stability in my life… and that’s probably the thing I’d love the most right now. Money’s tight again, and we’re playing the fun “should I answer it or not” game with bill collectors and our “new” mortgage company. Ever since our bank was bought out and … Continue reading
Who is Mary Diamond?
Although my situation is sometimes unremarkable, I'm remarkably affected by it. Feel free to comment.
