Liberated!
Tuesdays are “my day” at Liberating Working Moms, and because I so believe that site is worth visiting and hanging out for a while in, I’m not going to post on Tuesdays… you’ll just have to head over there to find me. Today, I’m chatting up being a working mom to a chronically ill child. [...]
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, [...]
The Curse of the Toddler
My mother arrived on Friday of last week to help me take care of J in my new “herniated disc/invalid” state of being. Although it’s been amazing having her here, there is one thing that has become abundantly clear… My child is WAY better with other people than he is with me. Why is that? [...]
This year is almost over… right?
**Streeeeeetch** I’m not sure my fingers remember how to type after such a long break! How was your Christmas? How was your Hannukah? Kwanzaa? Big plans for New Years Eve? I fully intended to write a beauty filled post about how magical Christmas was with J this year. We drove around and looked at Christmas [...]
Merry Christmas
What a difference a year can make, yeah? This time last year, I was packing and planning for a very similar trip to the one I will make this year. We spent Christmas with my family last year, going to Christmas Eve at the church I grew up in, the church we were married in. [...]
Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons
Lately I’ve felt pulled in so many directions that my head seems on the verge of spiraling off my neck and off into the sunset. Everything is in disarray: my car, my house, my office, my friends; and I want to tidy it all up neatly. I want to wrap everything in shiny red and [...]
Stella and Dot!!!
So a few weeks ago, in the midst of my Facebook feed, I saw a post from a friend from law school where she was talking about Stella & Dot. If you’re not familiar with Stella & Dot, you’ve been living under a rock… they are AMAZING. It turns out my law school pal actually [...]
Filling the Empty Spaces
So I have this idea… and I’m not sure if it’s a good idea or a bad idea; I think that will depend on you. There are a lot of people going through a tough time this holiday with starting over or starting again after divorce. And this holiday season? Well, it just plain sucks. [...]
Thanksgiving Yummies
It’s Saturday and I’m starting to get full on into the holiday spirit. This past week, I stocked up on everything I need to make what I consider to be a traditional Thanksgiving. Bear in mind I don’t eat meat, so I circumvent the traditional turkey in favor of a lot more veggies and potatoes. [...]
Daylight Savings
Dear “Daylight Savings,” you terrible thing, You have no idea what you do to me. No matter the efforts I exhaust in the eve, my toddler can’t grasp your “sweet” subtleties. It’s not as much fun now, there’s no extra time, I don’t gain an hour, Just fall back behind. You’re not meant for toddlers [...]
