I don’t camp. Besides the obvious lack of bathrooms and places to plug in my computer in a tent, I’m afraid of the dark. Not city-dark, where the sky is orange and the darkest place is a burned-out street lamp. I’m afraid of the country-dark. Where you can see all the stars. And no one [...]

I’ve been shadily mentioning being busy. And then secretly tweeting and facebooking about it but not actually posting about it here. Why? I’m shy, emotional, and oversensitive. Okay, I’m not shy. But the rest? TOTALLY TRUE. I am a BlogHer Voices of the Year in two categories! Find me under Life and Op-Ed along with [...]

It’s past dinnertime and the kids are FREAKING OUT on our way to McDonalds (shhh… don’t tell the parent police.) So I pull [...]

Tonight, after my nearly-four-year-old son’s hour-long tantrum culminating in him being held down in the car so he wouldn’t unbuckle his seat belt or hit my husband, I said while clearly shaken-up: What if I had been by myself?

The title makes the feat sound lofty, but really it’s just selfish. I want to survive on less sleep because I have more I want to do. I’d like 1 a.m. to 7 a.m. schedule please. Although it’ll probably be more like 6:30 a.m. with much begging and pleading for more sleep. And by begging [...]

I can’t tell you how many times I thought: This would be a GREAT time to watch television. But Saturday morning my husband works. And my daughter decides that naptime would be a good [...]

My husband sends me an email with the title: can we get this for my birthday? And I am PSYCHED. Because I have NO IDEA what to do for Scott’s birthday. And I’m kind of busy right now doing, you know, MY STUFF. He’s turning the big 3-2. And he never WANTS anything. And not [...]

E: What is this? Me: That’s a jar opener. E: Can I have a jar? Me: Yes. Go to the pantry. E: {blink blink} Me: It’s the closet with food. E walks over to the pantry. E: Where’s a jar? Me: Right in front of you. E while looking in every direction but directly in [...]
