No Title Because “Recovered From An Eating Disorder But Still Won’t Eat Brains” Seems Trite

August 31, 2010

There has been a lot of zombie talk lately. And not just on Late Enough. I was sent an article which used scientific reasoning to prove why the zombie apocalypse couldn’t occur. Scott and I say: Bollocks! (No we didn’t. But we should’ve.) Take this science-y reasoning: animals will eat the zombies because HEY! EASY [...]

Why Bother Being A Good Parent At All?

My Kids Playing Nicely In The Sandbox

I had a theory going into parenting: If I was, or at least acted like, the best parent ever, I would have the best behaved children ever. I told myself: I must model the behavior I seek. If I don’t want my children to grab, I don’t grab out things of their hands unless there [...]

If Your Savings Account Doesn’t Factor In Therapy, You’re Probably Not A Parent

July 13, 2010
Although now I'm wondering if we should be saving up for E's therapist or mine.

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 [...]

I Fought The Librarian Mafia

June 21, 2010

I am totally paranoid in libraries. I always look for the table as far away from the librarians as possible. And with my back to the wall so they can’t SNEAK UP ON ME. I am naturally loud and talkative. Oh and I’m not great with rule-following. When I walk into a library, I feel [...]

I Ask: How Do I Say Goodbye To Television?

June 18, 2010
IMG_3990

We are limiting our children to less than thirty minutes of TV per day (well, E, because N couldn’t care less about television) with no television as our goal on most days of the week. Yes. I have gone insane. And yes the timing of school letting out for the summer, getting cable for the [...]

Pass The Bubble Wrap, My Kids Are Going Outside

May 17, 2010

As I’ve mentioned, I consider myself a helicopter parent. I interfere with social interactions. (Honestly, I was left in a room full of people I didn’t know, also known as a wedding reception where I only knew the bride, and I would’ve LOVED to have a mom help me make friends. Or at least to negotiate [...]

My Miracle Is That I Have Never Hit My Children

May 2, 2010

I believe in God because I have never hit my children. It is my miracle. Was I born with a temper? I don’t know. But I was fierce and violent and angry for long time.
