Kate Gosselin & Dirty Kids

Dear Kate Gosselin,

I’m a huge fan (I watch for you, not for the kids) and I think you really should be Time’s Person of the Year, as I suggested and you should win an Emmy because you’re have about the only show on TV I can still watch with my kids.

After the most recent cupcake […]

Resolutions Revisited

I was checking my statistics for Blog Fabulous when I noticed my story Anal Retentive Compulsions in 2008 was still being read. How’s that for accountability?

That was my story where I declared my New Year’s Resolution to get be so organized I could be classified as anal retentive compulsive, you know like Kate Gosselin and […]

Bike Ass

I’ve been dragging out Fun Mommy, my alter ego who comes out to instigate fun and bonding with the kids. (As opposed to my alter ego called Mean Mommy, which you can read about in Attitude Boot Camp.)We’ve been trying to take family bike rides, but one of the bikes always seems to have a […]

Equal Families - NY Times

My friend Violet send me a very fascinating New York Times article about the struggles of getting and maintaining equality in a family.

It takes a very interesting look at what many, including probably myself, think of as the ideal - mom and dad working 30ish flexible hours and sharing equally the housework and parenting.

Life, and […]

15 Years - Suck It Up

I find very few flaws in the logic of Leslie Bennetts in her book FEMININE MISTAKE, THE: ARE WE GIVING UP TOO MUCH?
Her logic is such that I find myself saying, She’s right. Why did I make such a self-defeating choice to quit my fulltime professional newspaper job?

Until the chapter where she reminds me why, […]

MOMocrats: No Paid Federal Maternity Leave

You don’t want to miss this article over on MOMocrats. Did you know federal employees get no paid maternity leave? George W. Bush, and your other elected officials, think it costs too much money. Really? Surely not more than we spent to send a satallite to freaking Mars.

I think it just shows a general lack […]

Sorority of Motherhood Hazing

I was at a social event the other day and there was a New Mommy.

Anther woman, who’s youngest child is around 11 or so, says to New Mommy as she puts a itty-bitty blankie over the infant’s legs, You know you’re not supposed to keep them too warm, and she turned to me with a […]

I Ran for Electoral College

You know your vote for President, technically, doesn’t count right?

Basically, you vote on whether a state gets an electoral college vote for the Democrat or the Republican candidate.

This is the reason that George W. Bush is the President instead of Al Gore - who actually won the popular vote.

So, I’m sure I’m not the only […]

Free Yoga on iTunes/Blogs

I L-O-V-E yoga. In my old town I had this Vietnamese Catholic teacher who would light incense and give us a face massage with a lavender cloth at the end of every class. It was the best touching I got all week. The kindest thing I did for myself.

My options shrunk considerably with my move […]

Party Politics: I need a shower

One of the most surprising things to me at the Texas Democratic Convention was the Group Think Mentality between the Hillary and Obama delegates. For some reason most participants had aligned themselves with others, who had voted similar to them in the primary, on issues completely unrelated to Hillary or Barack.

For instance, defending the Primary […]

Happy Father’s Day Dad

I just want to shout out a big Happy Father’s Day to my Dad. He’s a good dad and a great Grandpa and a heck of a gardener.

I’d write more, but he won’t read it. He’s a retired Utah Air National Guard Colonel who won’t learn how to surf the net. He can fly an […]
