Cat Vomit and Other Grossness

So, we’re finally moving. The big day has arrived. As I pack, paint, and dream about life in a larger, newer, safer, nicer, fresher and more open house I reach for something that has fallen behind the bookcase.
And I touch…
Cat vomit.
Now, I realize that you find strange and sundry things when you move. [...]

The Lives We Lead

Ah, the lives we lead.
Do you ever wake up and wonder where you are? Not in a bad way, but in a weird dream-induced coma kinda way that makes you lay there for a few minutes. In wonder. In a calm sense of joy.
Then the cat jumps on your very [...]

Some Questions of Ye Olde Parental Units

OK, so my last post was sad. I didn’t check email or anything for a day. Thank you to those who told me to continue to offer support even if I didn’t think it would help. Great advice! And I appreciate all your kind words. I passed them to my [...]

Someone Died Today

Feeling brainless. I can’t write. I can barely think let alone type something pithy and interesting.
I am laying here in bed trying to think of what I want to say and all I can think is that I want to squirt more whipped cream straight from the can and into my [...]

I’ve Beat This Drum, But Better a Drum Than a Kid

A woman in our play group was going on about how appalled she was about something that happened to her friend the [...]

Some Things I’ve Learned From My Dogs

I have always said that I prefer the company of my dogs to many humans I know.
I write a lot about my daughter and husband.  I write a lot about the thing that still amazes me – that somehow I am a Mom.  Not a morning passes without me waking up and wondering how, after [...]

Some Things I Am Afraid Of…

My daughter was due in mid February.  She was born two months early.  My intelligent mind tells me it wasn’t my fault – I did nothing to make this happen and today, she is healthy and strong.  My intelligent mind can reason.  My emotional heart can’t forgive.  I know it isn’t rational but there it [...]

My Mother’s Typewriter

My daughter wants to play with my computer. It is a brand spankin’ new MacBookPro and she is two years old. It just ain’t happening.

Can a Kid OD on Corn on the Cob?

So, I was from one of those “you will sit there until bedtime if you don’t eat” upbringings. I’m not fat, but I soon learned that just shoving it all in even if I wasn’t hungry made Mom and Dad infinitely happier than seeing me pouting at the table all night. From there comes my [...]

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/24878696/,
I am just sad.
I wrote a blog post about a week or so ago
http://sugarsprouts.wordpress.com/2008/05/22/comparing-the-polygamist-mormons-flds-church-with-the-amish/ and I was so hoping this wouldn’t happen. But it did. So the shout outs to Texas are reneged. Come on guys. You KNOW this is [...]
