Boobs; the Time I Removed Them

My kids love to poke my boobs. This might be the most annoying thing that's ever happened to me. Why just yesterday, my 4-yr-old head-butted my face, busted my lip, and made me see stars for a minute; it hurt, but it was less annoying than boob poking. The kids seem… Read full post »

Christmas Kittens and Bad Decisions

I made an impulsive and reckless decision over Christmas. And I can't blame it on the Egg Nog this time. But some, maybe most, of my decisions originate on the keen edge of emotion, appealing to logic only later, too late. It seems

The atomic sex bomb

Isn’t it too early to start talking about sex? I mean, my baby is only seven. She’s still a baby, for God’s sake. But one of her friends got wind of it somehow, so I suppose it’s just a matter of time.  I just never imagined this day would come. No/… Read full post »

Gestation Frustration

Gestation Frustration

Look! Boobs!

 It took a string of mortifying events for me to find humor. In fact, I remember the first funny thing I ever said. I don’t mean to imply that here begins a longitudinal study on the making of a comedienne. I was rarely if ever funny growing up. I

Husband goes Nelly for American Idol

Husband will probably get mad at me for sharing this. Maybe I’ll have to cook something tonight (frozen-pizza-as-olive-branch?), but it’s worth it because I have to share.

Dying with John

Dying with John was such an unbelievable honor that I feel I should write it down so that I can hold onto it forever. I didn’t die too, just John died, but I helped him. And no, I didn’t kill him either. Cancer killed him, but I helped him die

A Coming of Middle Age Story for Girls.

Some people might refer to a 35-year-old female as a woman. I suppose it happens all the time. Most 35-year-old females would probably not even recoil violently from such a label as though they had just been victimized by the park flasher. I wouldn’t know.
