I am not writing this post because my questions are unique. Hardly. In fact, maybe I write about them here because they are universal. I don't know. But I write nevertheless. You tell me if they are universal.
The tug between the duties of parenthood, wifedom (sort of like fiefdom, one can guess?), and personhood seem [...]
The lovely blogger Transatlantic Blonde has started a new meme called the Friday Feminist Mom Roundup. I found out about this opportunity quite by accident, but in the way I find out A LOT of news … through Twitter. The idea instantly appealed to me because 1) I feel pretty strongly about feminism, 2) I [...]
Oh yeah …hiya! Long time, no blog. Yep. Not that I haven't thought of you, dear blog, I just haven't wanted you lately. Don't take it personally … I can be flaky like that sometimes.
On to the next topic (see? Flaky)
Father's Day is always a little bittersweet for me now. As you may know, I [...]

Soooooooo. What a morning I had.
My husband signed up little man for swimming lessons. Since he works during the week, he decided to sign up for Saturday morning classes so he could have daddy/son time. Cute, huh?

My late-night television watching hubby letting the dogs outside at midnight.
Peeing.
After watching a JFK documentary (3 nights in a row), fretting about something happening to President Obama.
Emailing a girlfriend I haven’t talked to in [...]
You know what really gets me pissed? Shitty attitudes from contractors and repair people. Case in point:

I couldn’t watch news (too depressing), drama (too violent, too sappy), politics (too tense), sports (too much time), reality TV (too stupid), or comedy (well, not completely, but mostly). What did I watch? Documentaries. I became a HUGE fan of the [...]
