Houston, we may have bigger problems than men lost in space

February 13, 2012

This past weekend I went to Houston to watch my 16 year old play soccer. And for those of you who are geographically illiterate (or you’re just unfamiliar with Texas), that’s about a four hour drive from my house–if you don’t run into traffic. Four hours is a long time to try and entertain yourself. [...]

I Don’t Even Know Me Anymore: A Love Story

February 9, 2012

Being in a new relationship brings with it so many…well…new things. Over the last year I have experienced things I never would have had I not met him. And some things I *had* experienced in my younger years and planned on leaving them there–locked away in the past. Like a really bad dream. Well, that’s [...]

So basically if I was constipated I would have so been outta here

February 7, 2012

This morning something unusual happened to me while I was driving back from taking the two little ones to school. Dressed in sweatpants and Ugg slippers (that could almost pass as shoes) and a t-shirt (no bra) and sweater, I almost passed the exit for home–on purpose.

Somewhere over the rainbow, you find she’s all grown up

January 29, 2012

Yesterday marked a pretty big milestone for me. My first born turned 18. And throughout the day I experienced a range of emotions that went from elation to depression to excitement to sadness–and a whole other smegma of feelings in between. When I asked her what kind of cake she wanted, she answered with the [...]

Late Bloomer

January 25, 2012

Aside from being the last girl in my middle school class to kiss a boy, I was also the last one to get boobs AND my period. I remember the day Jill came to school wearing a bra. She had to, she said. Her boobs had come in and were poking through her shirt. Her [...]
