It's 31 minutes until my child's bedtime. The big homework packet that she gets at the beginning of the week? It sits half finished on the dining table. She has 3 sheets of paper she's not happy with that she wants to discard and she's currently in the bathroom weeping copious and highly dramatic tears. … Continue reading Bad Parenting 101

umbrella
As I greeted my daughter at school pickup she was all smiles. Glowing. She was proud of herself and all she'd done today, happy to be back with her friends and engaged in their current science project. She bounced toward me and I gave her umbrella to her. She opened it up and hand in … Continue reading umbrella
now you know I mean business…
we've struggled over the last few years to carve out an office space for me in the house. It's moved around a lot. I've given it up twice to do things with space I thought was more important. Little known fact: Our recording studio used to be two rooms. Well a room and a half. … Continue reading now you know I mean business…

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…

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…
because I wear the pants in this family…
Last night after I was done slamming Mike's head into my big ol headboard I rolled over and went to sleep. I needed my rest so I could head out into the wild for some camping. In October. When it's cold. I'm manly like that. When I get back I'll probably drink a 6-pack and … Continue reading because I wear the pants in this family…
loveable silly little me…
Generally, I like myself very much. I can say that with a certain amount of pride and clarity because I recall half a lifetime ago when I was not so lucky. When I looked in the mirror and the girl that looked back, her awkward smile and icy eyes, they weren't what I wanted to … Continue reading loveable silly little me…
