here.

Now that I can breathe again, now that I can speak again, I realize I’m back to where I was before my darkness.
I want to DO these great things; I want to BE this amazing person; I want to CREATE.  But I don’t know how.  If someone were to tell  me that I could do [...]

Anatomy of a post

Most of the time I don’t think my life is very interesting.  I’m home all day with a kid who says things like, “Oom. Et-ee. It daa. Hai mummy. Puppies. Puppies. Pysh ah. Ah! Hahaha! Whoees. Et-ee”   Sure, sometimes she’s funny, but I forget what it is that she did that was so funny, [...]

I read something this morning that I’ve been thinking about all day.  In one of the (many) blogs I read, Mr Lady talks about being pissed slightly annoyed at a mother who parked in a narrow, snow and ice covered, no-parking pick-up and drop off lane at her kid’s school.  She got mad, wrote a [...]

Unanswered questions

I was watching The View this morning (shut up, Claire was taking a nap and to my credit I was also switching back to The Price Is Right) and they were talking about Caroline Kennedy and her experience.  People have been giving her flack for her supposed lack of experience.  The ladies on The View [...]

Discipline

I was just rereading my last few posts and I noticed how negative I am about Claire’s behavior.  I would love to say, “It’s not that she’s bad, she’s just a bitch challenging.  She’s not stubborn, she’s strong-willed.”
But the truth is that she CAN be bitchy, and she is one of the most stubborn people [...]

What I think.

A few thoughts I’ve had while washing my face, which by the way I’ve been totally doing every night, except that night I forgot, but I didn’t so much as forget as I passed out before I could make it to the bathroom (even though the bathroom is on my WAY to my bed), but [...]

I can’t be the only one…

…who gets REALLY turned on while watching So You Think You Can Dance.
Can I?
I’ve been watching the last two weeks, and I just saw Mark and Courtney’s waltz.  
It was, for lack of a better word, tingley.  I can’t help it; I love a strong man in a white shirt and loosened skinny tie.

When in doubt, use bullets. The punctuation, not the things used to kill people.

I can’t think of anything interesting, witty or thought-provoking to write about today.  Not that what I write about usually is any of those things.  But, especially today.
When I can’t think of things that are interesting, witty or thought-provoking to write, I do what any good blogger does.  I use a bulleted list and practice [...]

Things that make me go nuts

Tool: “Why can’t we not be sober? I just want to start this over.”
Me: …wait.  What?!
JR: What?
Me: Why can’t we not be sober?  What does that mean?
JR: It means they want to know why they’re sober.
Me: Why can’t we….not…I don’t understand.
JR:  It’s a double negative.  It means they’re sober.
Me: I don’t understand it.  I seriously [...]
