tears of my child...
My child, my precious wonderful daughter... She had a rough day. She's six going on 16 and it all came out today. She doesn't want to grow up. She doesn't want to be a big girl. She doesn't want to get a

the mighty cami...
I was having quiet time. I was at peace. I was resting in my room while K played quietly in her room. Anyone with kids knows how precious that time is... the brief moments where the child is actually playing nicely alone... That's when it happened. That'

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

total parental failure...
For the past several days my little ray of sunshine and rainbows (and fantastic dance numbers) has been having a hard time. At first I thought it was just because she was being bratty... I decided that may be a terribly harsh assessment of an otherwise lovely child. Then I

I never seem to fit in very well anywhere. Except at home that is. I fit in here just fine. Out in the world is another matter. Out there with the people. Today was an odd day for me... today I seemed to fit in just fine and truth be

H E double hockey sticks: special easter edition
I wrote this long ass post. well I wrote half of it. It was all about the early wake up on Easter and stuff... It was really long. REALLY LONG and also really boring. and whiny. and not really funny. so instead I will tell you that after she was
