Shhh. I'm at WebVisions 2010. Mostly I'm sitting in the audience or the green room being really quiet. You have to be really quite too. Why? Well because if you make too much noise then I'm going to giggle. You're sure to say something clever and then I'll giggle and disturb the panel that is … Continue reading shh. I’m conferencing
the ringer…
There's a routine. A way I do things. Every night before I close my eyes and sleep I turn the ringer off on my phone. Plug it in to charge and curl up on my side to close my eyes and sleep. Except last night. Last night I turned the ringer up. Set my phone … Continue reading the ringer…
sun warmed
Calm, with little signs of life zipping back and forth and around and around. K chatting at me a million miles a minute. The breeze just brushing the bottoms of my bare feet as I kick them gently behind me, swishing them through the air. Swimming in slow motion while the cool green grass presses … Continue reading sun warmed

There's an internal monologue which plays through my head in the mornings as I go about my tasks. Stick to my schedule. As I wake K from slumber, get her ready for school not so much by doing for her as I used to, but by carefully not doing for her. By hanging at the … Continue reading even here…

I'm overwhelmed. There. I said it. I am. I never expected this to be simple. I never expected it to be easy. Things are difficult. Tense. Uneasy. Unstable. And yes. Overwhelming. And the list of things a that needs to get done is long and getting longer. I'm knocking one of those tasks off today, … Continue reading help wanted

start making sense…
I've always tried to keep this blog as honest as possible. Sure I'm snarky and enjoy making thinly veiled references and inside jokes for my friends and loved ones. Yes I may have a bit of a dramatic bent. Sure I may oooh and ahhh over things that others find mediocre. But all of that … Continue reading start making sense…

It's strange to me sometimes as the parent of an only child, to watch K's interactions with me, her father, her friends, my friends, the world. I was never an only child. On the day I was born my brother was nearly three and quite happy being an only child. I could regale you with … Continue reading for matty…
Shhh!
I've been napping. Asleep at the wheel a bit. I'll be back posting soon but in the meantime please enjoy this quiet time to yourself. Or until I'm back to my bloggy best you could read my tweet stream. I can pack a lot of not saying a thing into 140 characters and I do … Continue reading Shhh!
