Wowza, it’s been quite a strange week. I was eyeing the bottle of wine on the counter, wondering if it would be acceptable to enjoy a glass before dinner; it’s a Friday after all, I spent ninety minutes standing in the playground this afternoon, my husband is working late as usual and what the hell. I […]
COME ON DOWN!
January 4, 2013 by
Yesterday I optimistically cleaned the house, sanitizing all the surfaces and disinfecting doorknobs. I baked muffins and indulged in such self-care rituals as applying moisturizer, blow-drying my hair, and shaving my legs for the first time in many days. I just finished reading How To Be A Woman, and while I enjoyed it, and felt […]
So bored! Send entertainment!
November 23, 2012 by
Here we are now. Entertain us.Jake is now in Day Two of a cold. I kept him home yesterday in hopes that it would be a quick recovery, only to have him wake up this morning, worse. Backfire! I’m not complaining too much; my kids are rarely sick and rarely miss school. Even with swollen, […]

November 5, 2012 by
Twice a year I find myself commenting that I am in awe that we, as a society, still deal with such an antiquated notion as Daylight Savings Time, and twice a year my husband tells me that I am starting to sound crazy when I launch a diatribe against it. And yet, although my children are […]
Friday Fun in the Boyhouse
October 20, 2012 by
Well, hello there, Friday! It’s been a long time since I posted on a Friday evening. Normally I’m too busy sitting on the couch making out with a bottle of wine and watching Jeopardy or reruns of 30 Rock to think about writing anything. But lucky you, dear readers, because tonight I am sitting here […]
NOT DOCTOR SLOAN!
September 28, 2012 by
Well, dammit. I guess I’m never watching Grey’s Anatomy again. You know, I ALMOST stopped watching after Meredith’s near-death experience, and I ALMOST stopped watching when Denny had a recurring post-death role, and I ALMOST stopped watching when there was a hospital shooting – the swat team was right there, how did they not take […]
