I’ve been vaguely angry all week, and I’ve been a whirling dervish, too. So it wasn’t until yesterday evening that I found the space, the peace and quiet, to burrow down into my own soul and confront what was eating me.
As usual, it was my ex.
Dammit. I don’t want to try to understand him and […]
I had to take a few days off work when the King of Everything got his tonsils and adenoids removed last week. By Friday, I was definitely worried about me.
I couldn’t stop working, even though I’d scheduled the time off.
What’s WRONG with me?
I even thought about calling this help line we have at work–it’s this […]
I brought my son to work with me today. Yes, I’m working on a Sunday, why do you ask?
I brought him in for a variety of reasons. First, I have no idea what my father does. When I was a little girl, I had a hard time saying ‘attorney’. One night, my father brought clients […]
I’m exhausted. I’ve had a Netflix sitting on my bedside table for a week, but haven’t found the time to watch it. My beloved books are lonely.
So is my son.
My mother has keys to my house. Today, she picked the boy up from school and he wanted to go to his house to play. Apparently, […]
I’m still working. Yes, I know, it’s 9:30-something at night. Yes, I know I’m meant to be in bed watching The Illusionist. But if I don’t get this stuff done, it won’t get done, and then we’ll be up the creek without a paddle. I’m trying very hard to avoid getting overwhelmed and you know […]
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 […]
The KoE has been a trooper. Went to my aunt’s memorial service and sat through the whole thing, quiet as a mouse, coloring and listening to all the nice things folks had to say about his favorite grand aunt. But by the time we got back into the car to come home, he was flagging, […]
I wished, not for the first time, that the King of Everything’s father lived closer. They have their own relationship, and the KoE is getting better about expressing what he does and does not like, and how he expects to be treated. I hope he can continue to do so, as he grows up, in […]
The KoE’s dad arrived safely, albeit late, last night. On the eve of my first business trip for the Big Job, no less. I got no sleep last night, wolfed down a ton of vitamins and hopped into a cab. Got on the plane, was sick from taking too many vitamins on an empty stomach. […]
I was up and out of bed before the alarm went off this morning, tearing open the blinds even before I could unstick my poor, sleepy eyes. was there snow on the ground? Please…
YES! the alley behind my house was clear. What, you ask, is SoloMother such a scrooge that she reveled in a distinct […]
