Help me Punch Cancer in the Face

I want to scream and punch and hit things.  I want to cry until my eyes beg for mercy.  I want to grab a tool box and fix this mess that cancer has created. I want desperately to make something hurt worse than my friend is hurting, worse than I am hurting on her behalf, [...]

Embracing the Anger

I’ve spent a lot of time trying to rid myself of the anger I feel toward my Ex.  I told myself it was wrong to be angry; told myself that this was the plan for my life and I just needed to embrace the changes and move on.  I told myself that I was bigger [...]

Raging against the Machine

Every now and again… like maybe every third day or perhaps every third hour or, okay twice a minute, I become fully consumed by what can only be called the ragiest of rages.  We’re talking a rage that results in me wishing I could claw the skin off of “someone’s” face and play banjo with their [...]

Scabbing Over

For a while, the hurt was what hurt the most.  I couldn’t understand what I had done to deserve this.  I couldn’t understand why he would leave; couldn’t understand why he didn’t love me.  I couldn’t understand why I wasn’t good enough for him or why he wouldn’t try to work things out.  My pride [...]

Happy Mothers’ Day

I haven’t slept in at least two days. Yesterday, J didn’t even take a nap until 5pm and was then up until close to 10:30 despite my best efforts.  He woke up at 6:00 this morning and has been up and angry ever since.  His mother has been up and bawling since the same time. [...]

Me Time

Today, J is six months old. It doesn’t seem like that’s possible, but apparently it is. So I think it’s appropriate that I talk today about one of the toughest parts of being a mom. Because I’ve been a mom for six months… barely any time at all, but I have already realized how difficult [...]

  • About Me

    I'm a first-time mom and full-time attorney. I'm a part-time vegan (when I remember to not eat cheese... which is seldom because Goat Cheese is my not-so-secret lover) and a full-time vegetarian. I work hard, when given the chance, I play hard... and I almost never get enough sleep.

    I'd like to be environmentally friendly but I'm not; I'd like to be stylish but who am I kidding? I'm not that kind of mom. I'm a "sing a song about poop" kind of mom who just so happens to put on a suit and practice law during the hours of 9-5. It's a tough gig, but somebody has to do it!
