This morning was the school-wide assembly for the holidays, and it was a treat to watch the kids The older kids did a fantastic step routine and sang Jingle Bells. Every class but my son’s performed — the school didn’t think there would be enough kids to […]
HR hates me. They take one look at the education line of my resume and it’s circular file for me, baby. Doesn’t matter that I’ve got some serious experience under my belt.

“Why doesn’t my daughter’s father seem interested in her?” a friend wondered aloud the other day. “Sure, when he’s out in public with her, he puts on a big show, but then he’ll miss his nights with her, no explanation, no nothing. And when she was a baby, he didn’t have anything to do with […]
Maybe I can say this because I’m not a rabid Beatles fan — I was caught between Kiss and the Who when I was coming of age, thank you very much. (What that says about me, I’m not quite sure…) But the vitriol being spouted about celebrities as they gear up to split up is […]
One of the things I felt I had to agree to in order to leave the UAE with our son was that the ex would get him for Christmas. I hated it, wasn’t comfortable with it, and knew in my heart that it would all be too much for my three year old: leave the […]
You know, I’d write some pithy, personal post about single mom angst, but I’m too busy getting over myself, and getting a lovely coat of paint all over the living room walls. After I stop gasping at the price of paint!! But I picked up all the other things one needs to paint with from […]
I can’t do right by my son. If I could do right by my son, I’d be a stay at home mom, or work part time, and pick him up after school every day. We’d play Candyland and fingerpaint, bake cookies together and read as many stories as we want to. He’d have his mama […]
I’ve got a coat rack to mount on the wall. A big, solid, heavy piece of Ikea furniture that weighs about as much as the King of Everything. Honestly, I fully expect it to fall off the wall, masonry anchors notwithstanding. Hang a coat on it? Hah. But it’s free, and it’s better than throwing […]

I suck. Everything was going well, on the surface. A friend picked up the King of Everything for a playdate with her daughter — his bestest friend in the whole wide world. Great! I show up to make dinner for everyone, and he’s happily playing, pretending to ice skate on some old carpenter knee pads. […]
