Freak Parade

I took this picture of The Boy at the park the other day. Look into his eye. Click on it to see it a bit bigger, if you want.

It’s me! I can see a clear image of me in his eye! Okay, so I thought it was cool. Humor me, Internets. Sheesh. Tough crowd. […]

The Boy is 10 years old today. Ten. Years. Old. Holy crap.
Please do me a favor and head on over to his blog and leave him a birthday comment. If you do, don’t forget to put where you live…I thought it would be cool to gather birthday wishes from all over….then I will print them […]

So blogging has brought me into contact with all sorts of genuinely good and awesome people. In my writing about The Boy, I have been buoyed up by the kind and encouraging comments of people I have never met. So what I want to know is…where the hell are all you people in real life? […]

This is part two of this post.
So where were we? Just rescued from the side of the freeway, right? Okay….
So I turn the key and…hooray!….we start up. We have gas!
Jubilant in This Change in Situation Mom: Woo hoo! We’re out of here! Off to get some lunch.
A Few Minutes Later, But Still Happy to Be […]

My kids have a knack for sucking the fun out of anything. Anything. Hanging out with my kids is like spending time with two little, grumbly old senior citizens. I don’t mean to offend any happy, good natured seniors with this comparison. I don’t mean your little blue-haired, white-sweater-with-tissue-in-the-sleeve wearing elderly. No…..I mean the ones […]

Another day with no writing. Well, some writing did happen here tonight…The Boy and The Girl wrote their memories of their Papaw for the memorial service on Sunday. If there is anything less fun than typing a eulogy written by your four year old daughter, I can’t think of what that would be. The Boy […]
