I’m not up for a real entry today. My kid is needy, in the sweetest of ways. I worked almost 60 hours last week, and then started this week off with a 15 hour day to NYC and back. I’m a little needy, too.
Specifically, I need a massage, a movie, and a pair of wide […]
I behave differently when he’s away. I play my music too loud to chase away his absence. I wander, aimlessly, through the house, with some vague sense that there’s something else I should be doing, something more important. Something’s missing. I wonder what’s he’s up to, what silly joke he’s trying to tell, what weird […]
I went to my favorite consignment store and came away with nothing today. Well, that’s not actually true. While no one gave me a swift kick in the rear, I caught a good look at mine in the full length mirror today and boy howdy, am I looking middle-aged from the ribcage down.
Pear shaped. […]
I’m arguing with my computer most days, it seems, and the technology on my phone has outstripped me. I wouldn’t know how to fix my car if I had one, and I’ve just about given up on understanding anything that requires any sort of electrical power source. I give up.
When I was a kid, my […]
Contrary to popular belief, the Roomba isn’t for cat torture. It’s actually a little floor sweeping (red) or floor mopping (white — Scooba) robot. Turn it on and it maps out your floor, the obstacles, and goes to town. As soon as I save enough money, I’m going to invest in one of these little […]
Perhaps it’s the fact that spring is almost in the air. Perhaps it’s because my audience is pretty pressed for time and is hard pressed to make it over here with any regularity. Believe me, it’s hard for me to get over here, and I’m the one writing this blog!
But I really want to know […]
You don’t have to be a a close reader of SoloMother to get the hint: I’d like to combine families with someone to share the burdens and joys of single parenthood. We’re not meant to live in a vacuum, and trying to take care of children, home and career all by one’s self is less […]
It’s been a rough five months. I suppose if anyone at work googles my name, they will know a bit about what I go through every day, but I try to keep my personal life out of the office. Really I do. But on Thursday I have to take the King of Everything to the […]
I feel so femimeme today. Madame Meow over at Zen Sarcasm tagged me for the five for feminism meme making its rounds in the blog-o-sphere. I’m diving in:
1. Self-sufficiency. You don’t need a man to fix it, find it, or finance it anymore. From bank account to boudoir, sisters are doing it for themselves. And […]
Connor is an amazing kid. He got frustrated with standard science kits for kids, because they didn’t have everything he needed to do the experiments.
So he created his own kits. Connor’s Kits for Kids offer everything you need for successful experiments, right down to the water!
When I was a kid, my mother and I were […]
