The front page of last Sunday’s Washington Post was alarming: The New Economics of Hunger. Suddenly, everyone is declaring, hunger is coming. I’m worried about single mothers. I’m worried about all of those folks out there who are just getting by. Higher food prices are going to push to many of us over the edge. […]
Baby bottles. Water bottles. Food storage. CD’s. Toys. Coffee pots. Water filters. Sippy cups. PVC pipes.
Look around you. How much of the stuff you see is plastic? It’s everywhere, and there’s a chemical in some of them that could make you very sick. Are you in a blind panic right now, tossing everything in […]
All my life, I’ve felt this vague unease, this keening wail in the back of my psyche that cried, “I want to go home!” Didn’t matter where I was… in my apartment, in a lover’s arms, in the most beautiful spot in the world: some part of me keened and wailed. Home. As I fought […]
You ladies really like to shop for shoes.
And books.
And clothes.
And good smelling things.
Seems we’re all spending so much time just getting through all the days, trying to turn 24 hours into 48, we don’t have much time for ourselves. My week has been so hectic, that bath I wanted to take on Tuesday night didn’t […]
It’s time for a rant. I don’t rant very often, do I? I hope I don’t whine and complain often, really, I hope I don’t…
but still.
I’m sick of paying 100% of the rent on 50% (or less, because let’s face it, women still make less than men) of the total income ‘whole’ families enjoy
I’m tired […]
I’ve been reading the mother blogs out there, and it’s funny to read so many women matter-of-fact-ly mentioning that underwear and socks are going to be under the tree for their kids. Hey. Money’s tight. Have you checked out the price of underwear and socks lately?
Holy moley. That’s some expensive frilly bits. Even when […]
It has taken me nearly four years to stop finishing my son’s meals. Disgusting. Weird. Blech. What was I thinking, eating his leftovers? And I just threw away the last of the Halloween candy. He doesn’t need it and neither do I.

We are sick here at Casa del SoloMother. The King of Everything has had a cold for oh, ten days or so, snot and coughs. I’m not healing as quickly as I’d expected, which is making me tired and impatient. It doesn’t help that I’ve been teetering on the edge of this cold for four […]
So many of us fall between the cracks: not poor enough for Medicaid, but too poor to afford private health insurance. President Bush just vetoed the program that bridges the gap, and now the State Children’s Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) is going to go down in flames because our Fearless Leader–and don’t get me started […]
