today...
I have no witty comeback for anything you say today. no snark. no snarl. Today my little one, my darling K, will graduate from Kindergarten. I remember the day we brought her home, how she was so tiny she fit into the curve of my arm. How I lifted her

the not so single mom...
As I'm sure you all know (or have guessed from the title of my blog) I am a mommy. I have been a great number of other things in my life, some have stuck, some have not. Mothering stuck. It stuck and it took hold of my life

yesterday
I declined to talk yesterday about something of the utmost importance. Well I didn't talk about it here. It was a conscious choice. Truth be told I'm not sure why I made it. Yesterday though... was K's sixth birthday. My little girl has gone
