I’m so tired I’m about to go to sleep before my kid does. These have been some crazy 24 hours.
See, the King of Everything went to the park with his grammie yesterday. They bought peaches at the farmer’s market. They played with the little kids. They had a great time.
He fell off the monkey bars. […]
He came racing up the front steps, his white Tai Kwan Do uniform bright against the drab concrete. He had a grin that could split the moon, and my mother was laughing and recalling how well he concentrated at TKD today.
“MOM! GUESS WHAT?” he shouted
Mom, guess what? Guess, mom: today is your sixth anniversary. You […]
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.

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, […]
There is no time to think in my mornings. No time to change my mind, or try to make a decision. Everything has to be laid out the night before, and then I’m locked into a commitment to that dress, those socks, that lunch. Every night, I pack the lunch bags, lay out the […]
When my kid started to complain about his plumbing, the future grandmother in me didn’t waste much time. I’m not one to run to the doctor every time he sniffles, but five days of uncomfortable pee and I’d had enough. But how does a single mother make the time to get to the doctor?
