If you haven’t gathered this already, in general, I am a huge fan of stalking. Stalking my husband on his way home from work, stalking the mail truck, stalking my own blog for hits–all incredibly lame and very useful, I have found. When it’s flipped and I perceive that someone is stalking me, still not […]
The Forgetters and the Rememberers
No, not the name of some hot new mom band on the scene, although that would be awesome.* I’m referring to the phenomena that happens when parents get beyond the super-young-kid stage. In my experience, they fall in one of two categories: those who remember how hard and painful it is and those who forget. […]
Pureed Pea Shards
They exist, trust me. I know b/c I make my own baby food. In theory, this is a good idea. In practice, actually not a totally horrible idea either. It can’t be that bad–I can’t make ANYTHING, but even I can jam some fruits and veggies in the blender and pour the concoction into ice […]
A Christmas Story Revisited
Here’s the deal: dressing children in winter gear to leave the house is a major bummer. Think Randy in A Christmas Story. Seriously, how much easier is it to just throw on sandals in the summer and be on your way? Without exaggeration, I figure coats, hats, boots, etc. can add 14+ hrs. to your […]
Within the Not Fun or Funny…
My mom is dying and was admitted to hospice care last week. As many of you know, this is just a really hard and really sucky situation. I figure anyway you slice it, dealing with a dying parent is flat-out awful, and losing one’s mind definitely has to be part of the grief stages. I […]
The Help
This is a list of the top ten full-time paid staff I understand that I need to successfully run my life and household (after the obvious need for two full-time nannies–one to take care of my children and one to take care of me): 1. Photo Manager 2. Twitter Consultant. I just don’t get it–get […]
Soap Opera Fan
The elephant in the room is, obviously, Days of Our Lives (popularly referred to DOOL on fan sites). And yes, I watch it and yes, have done so for (scary!) 20+ yrs. When I was 11, my friend’s mom used to spend her lunch break switching back and forth between The Young and the Restless […]
It Can All Be Yours!
…for the low-low price of a shout-out! Here’s how this one is working: I have five AMAZING Mom of the Year calendar magnets that I am giving away (I know, I know, maybe you should take a minute to lie down b/c this is so exciting). To be entered into this very random giveaway drawing […]
Pre-school Sign-up
Don’t laugh. This is serious, serious business for the SAHM. Here is my dilemna: I am in love with the Bible study we attend on Thurs. mornings. I feel that my son is too young to attend preschool 3 days/week in addition to his nursery class at said Bible study. Ergo, pursuing the rare 2 […]
California Dreamin’
My husband and I escaped last week (I know, be jealous, and yes, I am most-assuredly bragging). I am a ginormous fan of the business trip, esp. when it lands us in gorgeous San Diego child- and dog-free and I have absolutely no responsibilities other than being a Lady of Leisure. Obviously, it was wonderful–got to […]
