Conversations with Daniel:

Mommy! I want to sit on your lap!

Daniel, you’re naked.

*lifts his feet* I’m not naked! I’m wearing slippers!

Sorry for the light blogging, folks. The kids and I have been sick.

The one where she blogs about boobs

The way people find my blog never ceases to amaze me. A very few friends have me bookmarked, but the vast majority of people come from google searches – with one glaring exception.

Back in July 2006, indignation rippled through the blogosphere. Pro- and anti-breastfeeding mothers the world ’round spouted their opinion of [...]

Platitudes for the day:

Silence is:

1. Something you shouldn’t expect with 3 kids.
2. Something I really really need.
3. Banished from my one place of solitude (the bathroom) now that my daughter has a boom box. With bass boost.

Cleanliness is:

1. next to impossible with 3 kids.
2. Difficult to achieve when you’re a full-time student.

Just [...]

Hey y’all!

HAPPY VD!

*blinks innocently*

It was a dark and rainy night…

as I hopped in the van, waved good-bye to my children, and went out on this, my Divorciversary, to attend a lecture given by Bart Ehrman, the author of …well, a veritable smorgasbord of books that I (an agnostic, living with Fundamentalists) will not be able to add to my personal library for quite some [...]

Happy Divorciversary to me!

Looking back and acknowledging my History, so I won’t repeat it

On this very day 4 years ago, I hopped a plane with two badly-packed suitcases, two kids, and came back to my folks house for what we’d planned on being a 3-month stay. Just until I find a job, get the kids in school, [...]

By George, She’s Done it Again!

You would truly laugh your behind off if you looked at my calendar. This semester, the buzzword is
ENDURANCE

Classes 3 days a week, homeschool group meetings, lectures I need want HAVE to attend, performances with the school’s chorale, on top of the housewifey laundry/grocery shopping/cooking/parenting.

I just *now* ordered two of my textbooks from [...]

More fun than a root canal without novocain!

We went to Sciworks today to check out the Folk Toys Exhibit.

The toys were a huge hit with the boys. HUGE hit. They ran from one display to another, trying to get things to work without me helping them. I’d show them how to do something, they’d yell LET ME DO IT!!!! [...]

HOORAY! SCHOOL FOR ME TOMORROW!!!!

Books purchased? *newp*

What about that laptop you wanted? That’s a joke, right?

Schedule printed out? And written in my planner too.

Yup, I’m ready. *blinks*

The rise and fall of my figure: Where I was.

Like most mommy-type people, I have a love/hate relationship with my body. I lack a sense of scale – there are no full length mirrors in this house. I often don’t know EXACTLY what I look like head-to-toe until I’m in a department-store dressing room – at which point it becomes “Oh my [...]
