It was Bound to Happen…
Sooner or later. My husband has started actually reading my site. I have maintained all along that my family knows exactly where to find my site, and that I’m always careful never to say anything that I wouldn’t want them to read. And that’s true. When I first started, I told hubby all about it, [...]
The Six O’Clock Parent (Mother’s Day Special Rehash)
You’ve had a really bad day. One child is sick, the other three are getting there. Little ones who are about to be sick are easy to spot—they’re the ones who are completely out of control. They don’t feel good, you see, so they take it out on you. By six o’clock, you are at [...]
Happy Mother’s Day?
I have a love/hate relationship with Mother’s Day. But mostly it’s hate. Every mom has stories of Mother’s Days that have gone awry. The time the kids tried to do something sweet and cook dinner, and the next day your kitchen looked like the sound stage from Gremlins. After the shoot. Or the breakfast in [...]

Men are Wimps, Part 2
My back is killing me. It’s a long story, revolving mostly around the fact that I spent the better part of twelve years with a child on one hip and a diaper bag on the opposite shoulder.

Crotchety Old Men
Every parent who has been out of the house with her children has run into a Crotchety Old Man (COM). These are the retirees who are so old that they don’t remember what it was like to be a parent, let alone a kid. They stare at your children with an evil eye that rivals [...]
Pregnancy Rots Your Brain
The hormones of pregnancy, I discovered, kick in very fast. I know this, because seconds after announcing that I was, indeed, pregnant, I became a complete imbecile. While moments before, I was a smart, competent professional, my husband now knew that I needed him to take care of me. I was unable to make even [...]
