I woke up this morning and lay very very still because it occurred to me that I wasn't coughing. That would be the first time in 3 weeks that I was able to say that. I reached slowly and carefully for my iphone and still no coughing. I was afraid to move. I thought that … Continue reading less sick…
don’t do drugs
This morning after my wonderful neighbor came by to get K to take her to school with her sons I did exactly what my doctor told me to do. I took my cough syrup and went to bed. But I took my laptop with me. And I worked. I read things. I responded to things. … Continue reading don’t do drugs
oh those bronchial things…
After weeks of coughing and refusing to admit how sick I was, I went to the doctor today. *cough cough* When I arrived I was asked to put on a mask. Mike documented this for twitter and posterity. So I sat with my mask on. I was having a hard time breathing before it went … Continue reading oh those bronchial things…
I had something else planned
I had this whole post planned for this morning involving why my blog was called Mommified Me when I first started it 3 years ago this month. The short of it was that I didn't know about mommy blogs and my blog wasn't a mommy blog so that title made no sense which just goes … Continue reading I had something else planned

It's been a while since I spruced up around this place. I was getting a little antsy and I wanted this place to be all shiny and new. I think the blog remodel is my new hair cut and color. Does that make any sense to you? It used to be when I craved a … Continue reading fresh faced and cheeky…
a serious case of the busy
Despite the title, this is not one of those posts where I wax philosophical about how incredibly busy I am. I'm also not going to detail for you all the tasks that are keeping me so busy that I don't have the time or emotional wherewithal to come up with some new inspired piece of … Continue reading a serious case of the busy
post coital bliss… or the halloween that almost wasn’t
Normally just after (or just before) October 31st I supply you with photos of the Halloween festivities that pepper my family life throughout the month of October. Not this year. I was sick, we were harried, life was hectic. So instead of the sweet family portrait of the three of us dressed in some sort … Continue reading post coital bliss… or the halloween that almost wasn’t
my belt…
In 1977 in a 7th grade shop class a boy made a leather belt. It was a popular color of light golden brown. On it he pressed stars and music notes and a simple sentence... a sentence that could have kept him from getting laid ever. Ever. "SCIENCE FICTION IS THE GREATEST" And then I … Continue reading my belt…
the horrible truth about me and Kenny Rogers…
Confession time babies. I have to come clean. Tell you something. Let it all out. I want to start with a clean slate with you guys and I don't see how I can do that without you knowing a little bit of my history. My upbringing. Something that scarred me and I'm sure kind of … Continue reading the horrible truth about me and Kenny Rogers…

8 years ago today it rained. Not a huge downpour, but one of those consistently overcast days where the rain comes in waves. Where the air smells fresh and clean and the sky is that lovely pale dove gray with patches of white clouds. We were living out in Banks then and the 45 minute … Continue reading and I do…
