How to Become Your Own Worst Nightmare Just By Growing Up

October 1, 2015 · Leave a Comment

For whatever reason, my favorite movie as a kid was Mommie Dearest.  Admittedly, an odd choice for a child.  I could tell you that it was because there was something inspiring about Christina's plight for justice and subsequent karmic satisfaction when she publicly (posthumously) exposed her mother for the monster she was. Or maybe even that it encouraged me to appreciate my ...

Three Little Girls Who Can’t. Even.

July 24, 2015 · 10 Comments

I've been taking a bit of a blog hiatus, because in a moment of delusional grandeur last spring I decided that my kids and I are going to have a totally groovy 70s style summer.  No bells and whistles, no frills, no fancy camps.  Just some good old fashioned playing in the sprinklers, drinking water straight out of the garden hose, throwing a pack of cigarettes on the deck and ...

We Got Crabs.

January 22, 2015 · 6 Comments

From the moment my kids could speak they have begged me for a dog.  Which is unfortunate for them because:  A.  My husband is deathly allergic to fur, and B.  I am at maximum capacity for cleaning poop. A shell bearing sea creature was not exactly on my list of 'things I need in my life right now', but I do appreciate the value of learned responsibility via keeping things ...
