I just made it through 100+ blog posts in my google reader. So some of them were pictures of cats and I didn't have to read more than a sentence... And who cares if I just deleted a few after glancing at them and realizing how long they were... So what if I only left … Continue reading because I am queen of this computer
why I hate you so much…
When I woke up this morning at 6:30 it was to the demonic howling of Bob, my little green alarm clock. That sounds hateful, it really does... and there's a reason for that. I hate my alarm clock. Before you go getting any ideas about my alarm clock wronging me in some way I should … Continue reading why I hate you so much…
while I slept
Monday in the wee hours of the morning when the sun had not yet risen my friend did something magical. Amazing. Incredible. She gave birth to a baby girl. While I curled up in blissful slumber with my beautiful (feverish) child and darling husband she was just a couple of miles away laboring to bring … Continue reading while I slept
the sustainable lunch
Every morning I carefully pack lunch for K. I reach up to the top of the fridge and grab her adorable Hello Kitty pink canvas lunch box. I pull her sandwich and snack containers out of the dishwasher or the cupboard and I fill her adorably overpriced (though very durable) drink bottle with juice or … Continue reading the sustainable lunch
I’ll be sitting still for 45 minutes…
I've been running around like crazy lately trying to get stuff done. Stuff for her, for him, for them, for it... very little for me. All sorts of stuff really. Errands, tasks, printing, thinking, singing, dancing, losing my voice. Well that last one wasn't on the list of things to do, though it did happen. … Continue reading I’ll be sitting still for 45 minutes…
brake please, or stop you freaking idiot!!!!
Every school day we wake up early, get ready for school and then, with our neighbors from across the street, walk to school. K and the boy across the street have been in the same class since their first year of pre-school so this had been a routine for about 4 years. It's a good … Continue reading brake please, or stop you freaking idiot!!!!

start making sense…
I seem to wander between nonsensical ramblings and topics that are really truly important to me. Actually sometimes the nonsensical ramblings are important to me and that may indeed be the case today. In November, for those of you who missed out on this little tidbit, my normal blood panel showed that my blood sugar … Continue reading start making sense…
one where I forgot what I was writing…
I had this post all written up in my head. It was something you men might not want to read about. It was about tampons. It was a tale about the type of tampons I've been using since I was a teen and about how they really creep some women out because they don't have … Continue reading one where I forgot what I was writing…
play prepend…
How do I begin this wild verbal ride, this crazy trip down vocabulary lane? Should I tell you that right now I feel like my parents failed me? I do a little. They didn't prepare me for all the words life would throw at me. Sigh... Mom, Dad... you guys let me down. What am … Continue reading play prepend…
