This morning when I woke, and yes this is one of those posts that start with me waking up to some amazing realization so try to contain yourself, I was just a little happier than was strictly necessary for any morning let alone 6:30 in the morning on a Monday with the sound of an … Continue reading in March

long story
It was nearly 3 years ago that I decided, not for the first time in my life, to chop off most of my hair. It's been long, short and half shaved. Blond, black, red, white, purple and burgundy. The one constant with my hair since the age of 14 has been change. But when I … Continue reading long story
wishing for rain…
My mornings start relatively early. With the blare of my alarm. A cloud of confused thought as I fall out of a dream. The stretching of muscles and the cool soft fabric of my sheets on my toes as I reach with them for a part of the bed my skin hasn't warmed. Oh and … Continue reading wishing for rain…
the curious timing of K Kaos
My child, and I like to assume all the other children in the world do this too as it makes me feel better, only wakes up early when it is least opportune for me. And on Christmas. On a normal school day? Impossible to get her out of bed until 7. On a Saturday she's … Continue reading the curious timing of K Kaos
all’s not quiet…
I've been quiet here. Not a peep out of me for a week... what has the world come to when Cami Kaos isn't babbling incessantly? There's been too much and not enough and yet I've found time to smile and play and live life in a very happy, if cramped sort of way. I'm hoping … Continue reading all’s not quiet…

likeness
Aside from a few common physical characteristics that we share, I often find my daughter's similarities to me to be among her most difficult traits. As much as I am proud of her for so willfully being her own person, it makes her a difficult child to parent especially when we're both so determined to … Continue reading likeness
get out…
I can't begin to tell you how beautiful it is outside today, if I could I would have started this differently. I can tell you though that as I walked home this morning after taking K to school I went blocks out of my way to bask in the crisp cold sunshine for just a … Continue reading get out…
sleep notes on a wednesday
I woke up at 5 AM because my kid decided to head-butt me. In her defense she was sleeping. In my defense I didn't kill anyone for it. But 5 is a full 90 minutes before I had to get up. I could have curled right back into that sweet dream I was having about … Continue reading sleep notes on a wednesday
in the clear
I quit drinking caffeine a while ago, and I didn't mention it here so much because I wasn't looking forward to the part where I fell on my face in utter and complete caffeine giving up failure and had to come back and tell you all that I fell off the caffeine wagon. It wasn't … Continue reading in the clear
