I get so cranky during a first draft

My righteous indignation of last eve has faded a bit, although I’m still twinging about the notion that What Mothers Do is of the utmost concern of the world at large and a subject to be closely monitored so as to ensure that those wacky mothers don’t get up to hijinks.  Otherwise known as ‘was [...]

I am trying desperately to write about the whole cocktail playdate phenomena without driving myself flipping crazy.  Which is impossible.  I mean, really, having never been on a playdate in my life, I have no idea what a sober playdate is, much less one on which one or both parents may be drunk.  Har.
This is [...]

Holy crap, where have I been?

I don’t know, man.  We were in Florida, and then we had houseguests for a few days, and all of a sudden it’s the end of January.  If I wasn’t so goddamn exhausted, I’d think I’d been hibernating.
Tomorrow is Lucy’s 4th birthday, and we have no plans.  Child doesn’t like sweets so we’ve ordered a [...]

Things that I hate

On the phone tonight with my mom, she casually mentions to me that she is pretty sure she has emphysema but refuses to either quit smoking or see a doctor to confirm this.

I can’t believe I forgot to write about this…

C went to the police station to look at photos of his mugger, and I was right.  Another kid got mugged the Saturday after C did, by what seems to be the same guy.  Whose mom lives in our neighborhood.  Who does this often.  With whom the police are familiar enough to know by name.  [...]

So that’s what a week without blogging is like…

Exhausting and with better weather! We got home Sunday night from a jaunt to Tampa and it has taken me until this morning to fully reacclimate to a home schedule. Craziness.
On Thursday, we went to the Monsters of the Deep exhibit at MoSI and I got to lie on a bed of nails [...]

Holy groggy

I’m not sure if my eyes are ever going to focus properly again but I’m sure that’s just because I’m lacking coffee, right?  I am tired tired tired this morning.
It has been 1 week, 1 day, and close to 7 hours since I last had a cigarette.  I have saved $66 on cigarettes (they’re $8 [...]

Son of a Fucking Bitch

So my husband is currently riding around in a cop car looking for the waste of flesh who fucking mugged him like ten feet away from our building.  Nice, right?  C’s fine, albeit furious.  I am absolutely livid, and a little freaked out.  See, where we live is sort of like suburbia.  There are free-standing [...]

Thank god for YouTube, man

Rock out to the musical stylings of Slackdaddy with me! The drummer was my date for junior prom and the bass player is totally my bass hero!
