A wild life is worth living.
On holidays in Russia, the government 'seeds the clouds' to get a storm to pass or dissipate clouds because Putin likes clear skies for a parade. I don't know if it works, or even if it really happens, but if it does I'd like the recipe for cloud seeding. It often seems like there's a... Continue Reading →
This is my first born. He is the light in my days, the warmth in my heart, and he has taught me things about myself I never would have known if I had never met him. And, he is a fighter. Loyal readers will remember a recent post about a classmate biting Jackson, and... Continue Reading →
Last weekend I got in a fight and ended up in the emergency room. The fight was not, as you might assume, with some bitches in a bar who didn't know their role. I had a fight with my guts and it seems I lost. I am recovering now, and managed to avoid surgery by... Continue Reading →
I have been thinking about all those articles that have been popping up the last few years listing things it's horrible to say to someone with a disease/grieving/without kids/with kids/single/allergic to strawberries, etc. The one I read years ago called "What Not To Say to Crohn's Patients" was great, because a lot of people are...

Today started like many others: get Jackson to school so I can run down south to the pediatrician for Archer's well visit (6 months!), go to the store to buy staples, pick up Jackson, etc. Archer's well visit was successful and he is a healthy little cuddle bug despite being on the short side, though...

Today the topic of my blog is: I do not have time to blog. It's true, lots of people have two kids and manage to do other things. In fact, I have a friend who has two boys and writes books on the side. BOOKS! Whole books that require research and planning and editing and... Continue Reading →
One of the biggest realizations I had as a new mom was that milestones are fluid. We are so concerned with the first time our baby accomplishes something, but in most cases that isn't the whole story. Jackson rolled from back to front and front to back at 5 months. So you check that off... Continue Reading →
Whenever I drop off and pick up Jackson and see the other moms dressed for work, I feel guilty. Like, what am I doing all day that I need to take my son to school three days a week? Soon after Archer was born, Jack's teacher asked when Archer would be joining them at school... Continue Reading →
I have no credibility with my son. I try my angry face, my stern voice, threats, reasoning, bargaining, whatever.* He knows Mommy is full of crap and won't follow through on her threat to "never sing the car song again if you come out of your room ONE MORE TIME". He is the King of... Continue Reading →
Are we over Adele parodies yet? I wrote this today during nap time. Listen to Adele's "Hello" while you read. Hello, it’s me I was wondering if after all these months you’d like to meet Please come gently out of me they say that time’s supposed to heal my epi-sio-tomy hello, can you hear...
