Birthday

I spent the day with my mom and sister. We shopped and ate and got manicures. The wedding ring on my finger and the voicemail filled with screaming children were the only reminders that I wasn’t the hippie teenager alternating between being Alex and being annoying. (Because ALEX is never annoying. Except when I refer [...]

A few weeks ago, my husband took the kids to a birthday party while I stayed home and worked and wrote (maybe I should’ve put this BEFORE the 50/50 marriage post since y’all would’ve seen that I clearly get my 70%, too). As we know, Scott’s solo-parenting track record is not nearly as pristine as [...]

Why yes that IS the UVa Rotunda.

I believe strongly in cake. Birthday cakes. Valentine’s Day cakes. Graduation cakes. Cakes to say hello. Cakes to say good-bye. I Heart Cakes cakes. So not surprising that: I would buy a cake much too big for E’s birthday. We would enjoy eating it for weeks. We would get another cake for my birthday. I’m [...]

I grew up in a small town in Connecticut. We had five thousand residences and two police cars. (so if you passed both of them you could speed home!) Our jail was a chair that you were handcuffed to (in case you miscount the police cars). Our high school was combined with the town next [...]

Ratchet also kept me from thinking my house had been invaded. Like in the movies.  That I don't watch anymore because my imagination is active enough.

So today is my birthday. I’m 32 years wonderful. My birthday present from my husband? He left with the children at 5 p.m. on Saturday and will come home with them this morning. I lived in this home single and childless for two nights. And lived I did! I meandered around the movie store. (Seriously. [...]

My son turned four yesterday. My beautiful boy who made me a mom. And tired and crazy and unbelievably content with my life. He spent his birthday naked playing with his new Aquaplay AquaLand (bought because I clearly love my son more than my sanity) and watching movies while we ate donuts and salami and [...]

Late Enough gift for Dada

Yesterday was my wonderful husband’s 32nd birthday. And my gift to him? Besides this: And this: I was unplugged. From 5:30 p.m. Friday until 7 a.m. Sunday. Except there was one flaw in my plan of wifely AWESOMENESS. On Friday night, Scott was post-call. And asleep by 9 p.m.. I haven’t gone to bed at [...]

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 [...]
