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…
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…
clean up special
I've been cleaning out my office space instead of writing, in celebration of that I thought I would reach into one of these two huge file folders filled with poetry and share one from 1996: And drowsy wishing for that half sleep I wait for what will come to take me away as I know … Continue reading clean up special
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

It wasn't … Continue reading in the clear
musing
I forget sometimes that writing is work because I often sit a play at it, letting the words fall from on high when they want to. Writing is a pleasure for me. A comfort.

dear 2010: can we make a deal?
First, let me say thank you 2010. You've been pretty fucking awesome. Seriously. As far as the first 11 days of the year go I'm hard pressed to recall better. And I'm busy. And not really the bad busy that makes me crazy because I have no time. The busy you're handing me is incredible. … Continue reading dear 2010: can we make a deal?
Transparency…
This particular blog post seems to have a check list to go along with it, so why don't we start there... Laying in bed with my big velvet winter comforter? Check Wearing undies and my favorite stripey shirt? Check Red lipstick? Check Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds or Tom Waits playing in my ears? … Continue reading Transparency…
this is why we don’t have friends…
It was late. I was tired. Mike was doing a show and so I sent him the following message Going to bed now, goodnight sweetie. Please check your DMs and contact Barry. Also, I sorted and stapled the receipts. Come to bed soon. <3 Imagine my surprise when a moment later he responded... I was … Continue reading this is why we don’t have friends…
