I picked K up early from school so she could get some rest and a nice lunch and snack before the impending ballet performance Friday night. Quiet time is key before a big ballet event. Not only is there the whole thing about getting on stage, but there's also makeup, hair product and a tutu. … Continue reading I suspect the end is near…
hopefully
This was something eerie about that morning. Something unsettling in the way the air seemed to be the exact temperature of my skin as the dark clouds loomed overhead. They didn't threaten rain, they just sat there obscuring the sun and making the world feel a little heavier. It was the same day (or maybe … Continue reading hopefully
from the land of the lost
Last night at the end of the day, after dinner and bath time, getting on nightclothes and brushing teeth, after picking up the living-room and complaining that she should never have to go to sleep when it's still light outside, we had just enough time before I read her a bedtime story to embark upon … Continue reading from the land of the lost
ready? set? GO GO GO!
You'd think with a title like that I would be off and running to get right to the point. You'd think so, and that would make a lot of sense but really, when have you ever known me to do something that entirely sensical here? Yep... that's right. Kind of not my style. But the … Continue reading ready? set? GO GO GO!
all work and no play…
Yes it's been over a week since I last posted... though I'm sure you're not counting, right? Right? Very good. Ordinary I make regular posting a huge priority but last week I was just a little too busy. I was working, talking, thinking and when all else was done I managed to sneak in a … Continue reading all work and no play…
never enough, or how to make me feel completely inadequate
There's something that K really really really really really really wants. Wants more than anything, ever. She's pretty sure that her entire life will be incomplete without it. She's said so. "Mom!!! If I don't have one then I will grow up all alone and I will have NO ONE." That really is a quote. … Continue reading never enough, or how to make me feel completely inadequate
it had to happen sometime
I just had an incredibly disturbing parental moment. Don't let the title fool you, this is not the first time I've been disturbed by something parental. Parenting is disturbing from the moment you start vomiting because your body is trying to adjust to the alien being living inside of you. Then there are the sleepless … Continue reading it had to happen sometime
CamiKaos goes to the movies…
I don't get to go to the movies nearly as often as I'd like. It's a form of escapism I love to indulge in but time is not necessarily on my side with this activity. But Star Trek... there was a new Star Trek movie and I needed to see it. And even though it … Continue reading CamiKaos goes to the movies…
mother’s day: the good, the bad and the ugly
And when I say ugly... I really do mean ugly. Like, OMG, so ugly. Mother's day (for me) started Saturday... from here it's all bullet points... but really dashes because I like them better: - A friend, not wanting to spew Start Trek spoilers at me but wanting to be able to talk to me … Continue reading mother’s day: the good, the bad and the ugly
this is NOT a test!
In just over an hour the lovely man and I will be heading down the street to our local theater. It's our favorite place for movie viewing (not counting out basement). There we will go where no man has gone before... except all those guys that got to see it before us... that's right! We're … Continue reading this is NOT a test!
