When I arrived to pick up my son from his weekend at his grandparents’ apartment, he was so excited to show me something he’d been doing on their rooftop garden that he pulled the plug on his bath and hurry scurried into clean clothes. “Come, mama! Come see my beanies! Come see my new quest! […]
You know, if each of you actually voted for me, I’d be pretty high up in the standings! Cause I know how many folks visit this blog on a daily basis… *ahem* I know you’d put me in first place.
It’s a pain, you have to register, but there are some great blogs out there, and […]
I heard myself doing it again the other day. Another longwinded speech about how awful it was, how terrible and irresponsible and bad for us all it was. I pointed to a piece of trash on the street and went into a diatribe of disgustedness. I railed. I rallied. I watched the reaction of my […]
Wouldn’t this be fun? Sounds less bawdy than the Renaissance Festival, and my son adores faeries. I know he’ll grow out of it, and I’m not suggesting you drag your 14 year old to this event, but if you’re in Maryland May 19th and 20th, on the weekend, I think you might enjoy the Faeirie […]
I didn’t know it was take your kid to work day. Mine would have loved it, but that I had too many interminable meetings. Next year for sure, the King of Everything is coming to work with me.
One of the head honchos came up to my desk this afternoon, happy as a little kid, himself. […]
I love the idea of single by choice mothers, no matter what the pundits in the pulpit or that man in the White House might think of it. To have a child purely out of the love and wonder of having a child? To know that you love that kid, and that you want that […]
I missed my bus last night, and couldn’t bear the thought of standing around watching the bums, while waiting for another bus to show up. So I called a friend and he walked me home, all the way from the station to my front door. Virtual running shoes, he called it. Being a single mother is […]
I’m reminded of an 80’s song by the Godfathers: Birth School Work Death. They forgot the part where you get married, have a kid, and get divorced, but got the monotony of life about right, otherwise.
Except…
Could I change my outlook on life? I can’t believe how much better life has become for my son and […]
We finally got out of our pyjamas around noon today. Heaven. We packed a picnic lunch and the KoE’s bug catching paraphanalia, with butterfly net, magnifying glass and binoculars, bug trap and tweezers. The King draped all and sundry around his neck, filled his pocket with equipment, and waved his net down the sidewalk to […]
That is the sound of one single mother hitting the wall.
Bit whupped this Friday evening. While my single friends headed off for lavender martinis, I went to find my son. He’s in such an interesting place, right now, emotionally. He really finds it hard to be away from me for more than a night or […]
