glimmer of profundity
I know, I know, I’ve fallen off the grid and who could blame you loyal fans, all twelve of you, for going elsewhere? Five days with nothing new to say is a long, long time in the blogosphere.
But I have just one thing to share today, one glimmer of profundity that has made its way […]
Shredding oranges
While eating dinner with My Better Half last night, I casually mentioned last week’s Yahoo article that reports a SAHM’s worth at close to $138K annually. I gave it as flippant a mention as one who is currently waging a war with her spouse about feeling completely under appreciated and taken for granted can […]
pants are over rated
Today’s blather will include a few words of advice…
Do not attempt to drive to Brooklyn using a set of directions printed off Google maps without vetting the route with someone who has actually MADE the drive, alone, with a cold, while fleeing two children and their fevers, because just when you’re supposed to exit 95 […]
country mouse comes home

Really guys, is this the best you can do?
I have a problem with The Boy Scouts of America’s stance against gays and not just for the obvious reasons (I’m a progressive person with a social conscience and don’t believe discrimination is a family […]

Because y’all are really too kind and supportive to abandon, I’m back here at the keyboard typing away, ignoring my children and the stack of bills and the screens that are lined up in the basement awaiting the day when I will get around to washing windows and preparing for warm weather. So, yes, I […]
Oh damn, the best laid plans and all that…as I dug around in the pockets of G’s backpack to retrieve her sweet little pink headband now slightly dingy from riding around in her book bag for a week, several stones from the driveway and yesterday’s breakfast bar still in its wrapper but crushed into […]
awards…perfect post and moron of the year
Today I get to hand out my own Perfect Post Award and, since I’m a generally sarcastic, snark-filled individual, the act of bestowing blogging awards on other people is, well, entirely out of character. But I just had to play at this one after reading Oh So Tired by Whipper Snapper.
I was moved to nominate […]
