Frazzled.
I’m frazzled. Yesterday was such a tough day at the office that I was frustrated when I picked my child up from daycare. He wandered over to me, clutching an ice-filled glove to his head, and explained that one of the other kids threw a train at his head. He had a giant purple lump just [...]
Surprisingly Perfect in a Not-So-Perfect Way
This morning I looked around my house, looked at the unmade bed and the borderline sick baby. I sighed over the sink that needs bleaching and the floor that needs vacuuming. I rolled my eyes at the hair bunnies, courtesy of my ever-shedding dog, and the Pop Tart crumbs scattered atop the sofa cushions. It [...]
Shades of Gray
In the summer after my freshman year of college, I became obsessed with black and white photography. I had a Canon EOS Rebel (pre-digital era, y’all) and I would buy the black and white film and prance around with my camera on a long camera strap around my neck. Black and white photography made me [...]
The Me My Son Sees
This morning, J woke up and snuggled close to me. Before he opened his eyes, he popped out his pacifier and whispered: “I love you, Momma!” He knew it was me. He knew, just because he woke up in the morning that I would be there and that I loved him. In J’s eyes, I [...]
Bless this Mess
Last night I came home from work to a dirty house. There were dishes in the sink because the dishwasher hadn’t been unloaded. The trashcan was at the street and needed to be brought back up. There was dog hair strewn across the hardwood floors, collecting in small little hair bunnies along the baseboards. And [...]
What We Deserve
My husband has found a new place to live. He told me yesterday, calling to tell me about the lovely windows and the fantastic location. “I’ll be by on Saturday to pick up the bedroom suit and the rest of my things,” he told me excitedly. I calmly reminded him that Saturday was his brother’s [...]
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 [...]
Trust me
As an attorney, people put a lot of trust in what I have to say. When I give them answers, they usually trust that I know what I’m talking about. When I make a suggestion, they trust it’s the right one. In short, people invest a lot of trust in me. A lot of trust. [...]
Hello, My name is Law Momma… and I’m a mom.
There is an over sized, over-zealously colored alphabet mat in my kitchen. There is a Rain Forest swing in my formal dining room, just next to the cherry finished table and across from the china cabinet. Inside that china cabinet, there is my wedding china and crystal along with some pieces of china brought over [...]
