Still life with five year old, the sex version

“Mama, what does ‘Rated R’ mean?” he asked me last night, his blue eyes staring solemnly up into my brown ones. I was busy in the kitchen, putting away dishes, cleaning up dinner, finding the counter under an avalanche of cooking inspiration.
“Oh, it means there’s violence, bad language, and sex. It means it’s a movie […]

It takes a village to buy a condom

There’s a new column out in my old neighborhood’s local paper, the Hill Rag. The column is called “Hill Raising: the anonymous adventures of a Capitol Hill Mom“, and if its maiden voyage is any indication, this is one to keep an eye on.

Utterly random thoughts from the blogosphere…

I don’t think I hit my head last night. So there really is no excuse for the utter lack of… intelligence rattling around in my brain, save for the fact that it’s Monday, I was up all night, and I’m poking around the Net being very surprised. And disappointed. And amused.

Some further thoughts on dating

As you might know by now, this single mother thrives on music with interesting lyrics and good stories. I was listening to my little iPod Shuffle today at work when a particular song came on that gives me the giggles even as it gives me cause for alarm.The song is “Undewear” by Pulp:

Got a date for New Year’s Eve, single mom?

Ohhh, ladies. I’d promised an interview with a gentleman who seems to gravitate towards single women — just his luck, it seems. I had a chance to corner him with some questions about what it’s like from the other side of the skirt, so to speak. What I got back was a very frank, honest, […]
