The thing is, I forgot to put on my pants. This oversight, in context, may be understandable. Or, I may be experiencing early onset of a degenerative condition, so I’d better make haste and get this story told. While I remember it. First, a question: Have you considered the one skill you wish you couldContinue reading “I Guess That’s Why They Call it “The Blues.””

Their Rooms Are So Small
I never saw it until this afternoon. The three of the four are grown and gone. But they were home last week, albeit for 24 hours, so I braved their rooms for a mom-clean. You want to hear something awful? A part of me is relieved that I don’t have to clean everyday. That myContinue reading “Their Rooms Are So Small”
The Persistence of Memory
The stasis is soooo boring.
Open Summer Camp – For MOMS!
We know how to socially distance. We will happily share cooking, cleaning, and shopping responsibilities. We will kayak 10 feet apart, crochet masks, and carve beautiful woodshed signs with inspirational message like “Stay the *F* Away” and “Mom’s Busy,” and “No.”

Stupid Sh*t I Was Told
I was told to be good. I was told to be pretty. I was told looks don’t count. I was told to have long hair. I was told to have straight hair. I was told to have curls. I was told to have bangs. I was told bobby pins would hold back the bangs whileContinue reading “Stupid Sh*t I Was Told”
Sh*t Gets Real
What a luxurious question. How many things does one do in a day and then reflect, ‘why am I doing it?’ Maybe a few “ethical hackers” and dog food tasters, but otherwise? Bueller???
