I woke up an hour too early this morning but thought I woke up an hour too late. The kids must stop messing with my alarm clock! There’s something to be said for sipping a fresh, hot c… Read More

It's only fair that I explain my son's lunchbox graffiti, instead of simply transcribing it. I was furious when I discovered it last Friday and blogged about it immediately after, before my… Read More

For a week the Lawyer refused to practice for his school's end-of-the-year dance performance until his teacher agreed to let him play a bee, not a flower. He stood his ground for five school… Read More

Spare tire.This morning I was supposed to wake up at 6 and go for a run. Was. What a big fat joke, in more ways than one.At 7 a.m., the first plane of 50 or so that roar from the airport in… Read More

Me: How was kindergarten field day today, kiddo? Did you dig the park?The Lawyer: Oh yeah. It was off the hook! (Wow. He already knows OTH? I'm sooo old.)Me: What was your favorite part? (Ye… Read More

No coffee. Much brain cloud. Brewing not fast enough as I type.I realized at midnight last night that I didn't drink a drop of coffee yesterday. It's a wonder I didn't die of withdrawals. So… Read More

Me. Apparently I'm the one behind my son talking about sniffing glue at school. Well, maybe.A few weekends back the kids gathered around the sticky kitchen table to dump frozen fruit into th… Read More

I hereby present an evidential sliver (aw, shoot, I could've just said "list") of my stellar mothering abilities, as eeked out of my blaring Pixies filled head on the drive home to "Rapewood… Read More

My son tells me kids are "getting high" sniffing glue at school. He also told me all about sex, as eagerly explained to him by a classmate. He is in KINDERGARTEN. I guess what they say about… Read More

First impressions last forever. At least that's what the elusive "they" say, right? So the other day we visited our new next door neighbors (and I mean next-next-next door -- We could see in… Read More
