Welcome Home

All I wanted for Christmas was my dream home. And I got it. We moved into our first home last Saturday and it’s 1,000 times better than I dreamed possible.
Picture this with a big, giant red bow . . .
Yes, that’s a ski lodge sized fireplace. Yes, the entire wall to the right is built in […]

Say No in 2008

Kate Baggott has been participating in Project Blog and I want her to win. Maybe I’m hoping her success will leak out on me or maybe I just enjoy her advice and insight. Please stop by and read this post and vote for her at Babylune.
She writes about our never-ending time problem as women. We’re […]

Giving Time

According to the Jesus Christ, Warren Buffet, Bill and Melinda Gates, Oprah and Bill Clinton one of the major components of happiness is giving.
People just can’t help being happy when giving something to someone else. Christmas is supposed to be about giving, but we all know there can be a lot of emotional baggage that comes with giving […]

Obama & Oprah

Check out this video of Oprah speaking to 29,000 people about Barack Obama.
This Mother Jones piece, Obama and Oprah: The Ultimate Power Couple, by Debra Dickerson is also worth reading.
There’s a major difference between the Democratic Party and the Republican Party this election year.
When the Republicans look in the mirror they see exactly what we’ve always […]

Germaphobe Gift

I am not a germaphobe. I keep this identity by avoiding news about germs found in ice cubes at restaurants, on the refrigerator door handle, on the restroom door, or the grocery cart handle.  
I feel this is too much information. There is little I can do about it, short of being a Purell addict […]

Working Conditions, His & Hers

I’m going to my dad’s house to work. I can’t get anything done here. The computer is way too slow and the kids are driving me crazy.
Uh. These are my working conditions every single day.

Fewer Choices Please

My favorite grocery shopping experience is Sams Club.
I think it’s because Walmart just has too many choices. I wander up and down the aisles frustrated, with my face all scrunched up, hissing at the kids to be quiet, I’m trying to think.  
It takes forever because I can stand in the cheese refrigerator for more than 10 minutes comparing the […]

Sick Day

Honey, you should really try to rest if you’re sick.
Right. Have you met our son Zack? I’m sure I’ll get plenty of rest.

Her Way Sucks, I Prefer His

Yes. This is a photo of me in my favorite underwear.
Yes. They are Hanes Men’s Briefs and they are Mine. My husband enjoys boxer briefs.
I discovered accidentally, about 10 years ago, that men feel entitled to wear comfortable underwear that covers their entire ass. The whole thing. 
Can you believe it? They feel entitled to comfortable underwear […]

Internalizing Kate

You were rude to your husband, my friend said to me on Sat. She had observed a completely ordinary interaction between my husband and I.
I responded to her criticism by going into defensive hyper-sensitive justification mode that quickly turned into sobs.
I’ve been internalizing every hateful, critical and harsh comment against Kate Gosselin mother of sextuplets and […]

A Woman’s Place . . .

Women are not made out of cookie cutters. I suspected this when as a child, I saw my role as a woman very carefully outlined, “Be a wife and a mother, your place is in the home.”

But, all women are not […]
