My Youth

I like kids.  I was a camp counselor for years.  I planned to be a pediatrician.  I’m fairly immature myself. But then I had children. And I love mine.  But I started loving everyone else’s a little less. I didn’t ooh and aah as much. It’s now more of a oh that’s another baby nod. [...]

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 [...]

I’m driving around town with the kids, grateful that N isn’t crying her eyes out. My son pipes up: CATCH UP TO THAT CAR! Me: E, they’re driving too fast. E: DRIVE TOO FAST, MAMA! Me: I’m glad I didn’t know you back when I was 16. Because at sixteen, I liked to play the [...]

I can’t write about my eating disorder. I thought I could. I have been in recovery since 2001. I eat pizza and cake and three meals a day plus snacks. I don’t hate how I look. I don’t wish I was thinner. I like my weight and have stayed within five pound for the past [...]

Late Enough I Ask Advice Button

More: I’VE ALWAYS WANTED TO KNOW {blank} ABOUT LATE ENOUGH. Like did you really edit your eighth grade yearbook [...]

I hate my neighborhood. I thought it was the people. And then I realized that it IS the people especially when they’re behind the wheel of large metal objects speeding towards my family. The other day, I am walking with my daughter and my dog, Ratchet. The dog, being unaware of the perils of living [...]

Late Enough Cats

When I lived in Saint Louis, I was alone with three cats in an apartment building erected in 1929. (Yes, I giggled at that word too.) I slept on my futon without pulling it into a bed. I didn’t even have pillows. I worked second shift so I got off at 11 p.m., went home, [...]

Happy Independence Day to my American friends! Happy Sunday to everyone else! Unless it’s Monday. Or Saturday. I made a Fourth of July vlog with E. Inadvertently proving that when Late Enough and Captain Attention made little people, we made little Not Enough Attentions. PS. Afterwards E kept asking to watch the video again to [...]
