The Art of Saying “No”
I’ve been slack lately about posting at my third “job” over at Liberating Working Moms, but today, I finally posted!! (I’m sure my editor is thrilled with the fact that I managed to string more than two coherent sentences together… don’t get your hopes up for more than that!) And to be honest, I’ve been [...]
Radio Silence
Nothing’s ever easy, is it? After my rousingly upbeat post of Tuesday where I metaphorically sounded my barbaric yawp, I went on with my day. I went home for lunch and when I came back, I was feeling a bit… woosy. I stopped in the breakroom and talked to one of our paralegals about what [...]
The Life in the Rearview Mirror
This morning, as I waited in the drive-thru line for my ridiculously named and priced coffee, I glanced up in my rearview mirror. Behind me, a woman sat in the driver’s seat of a pristine white Lexus SUV, running perfectly french-manicured fingers through perfectly straight, long, blonde hair. Her face was perfectly made up, but [...]
I’m Not Fighting Alone
One of the hardest things about being an attorney, or really any type of professional, is when you are faced with weeks like this one. Weeks when what you want to do is stay tucked in bed, letting the world pass you by at a slow, snail’s pace, while you try to remember what the [...]
Getting it Done
I’ve spent so much time over the past two months wondering how on Earth I’m going to accomplish everything I want to accomplish along with everything I need to accomplish while being a single mom/attorney/crazy-haired weirdo. I’ve posted about it. I’ve thought about it. I’ve wondered about how to “do it all” without losing my [...]
Single Successes
There are a lot of hard things about being a single parent. A lot. And I could write a book on all of the hardships and how tired I am and how much I worry about raising my son properly and doing the best I can for him. Because as single parents, it’s our job [...]
I Will be Happy
Hello, little house. I have missed your creaks and corners. I have missed the holes in the walls where our things used to hang and the cracks in the paint along the top of the crown molding. Hello, back yard, with your ivy covered ground and your too-tall pine trees that always terrified the other [...]
Healing… slowly.
Driving back from Columbia, I had an epiphany…. I was letting someone else run my life. It shouldn’t have been surprising; I’d been doing it for awhile. When I was a kid, I just wanted to be everything my parents expected me to be. I wanted to be things they never even knew I thought [...]
Growing a Rose
Make no mistake, getting a divorce is little different from losing a loved one suddenly in death. You mourn. You grieve. You wonder if you could have saved them. Only, with divorce… at the end of the day, you see that loved one in the grocery store and you realize that they didn’t die. They didn’t [...]
I am NOT a supermodel.
On Friday, I was fortunate enough to have a hair appointment at 3:00. I say that I was fortunate for several reasons, the least of which is my actual hair. See, I had to take J to work with me on Friday. He was running a high fever and was stuck to me like velcro. [...]
