After months and months of waiting, my new baby really is here. It's hard to believe because it seems like it's taken forever for this moment to arrive. Say hello to my baby - It's the only pain free delivery I've ever experienced. A Real Mother is available at amazon.com. Kindle and iBook coming soon.
I'm starting to feel freakin' old middle-aged. And that feeling is making me worry that certain goals in my life are now simply out of reach. I'm glad Boyd Lee Dunlop didn't share my fears. Mr. Dunlop, a jazz pianist, recently released his debut CD. So what? So what is right. Because Mr. Dunlop achieved this goal… Continue reading It’s Never Too Late
Just when you think you've got your technological poop in a group - a glitch arises. Moving this blog to wordpress was a real pain in the ass an adventure. The software that was supposed to transfer the whole shootin' match over with ease simply didn't work. This meant I had to move every post and… Continue reading Glitchy, Glitchy
My Friday? Surgery to fix Older Boy's broken nose. Check. Doctor visit to examine Younger Boy's ankle in cast - referral to orthopedic surgeon. Check. The Husband, who also blew out a calf muscle last week playing basketball with Younger Boy, down for the count with stomach flu. Check. Mommy needs a drink. Only I… Continue reading Mommy Needs A Drink – Part Deux

My… Continue reading Save A Life, I Dare You (it might just be your own)

Inventors over at True Companion have announced the launch of a new robotic sex doll named RoXXXy. According to her inventor, who claims to be happily married and never tested the merchandise, this gal is ready for… Continue reading Freaky Friday
There's been a lot written on the power of gratitude. And to be honest, it's easy for me to overlook what's right under my nose to be thankful for, particularly when I'm too busy being bitchy about having to do the day-to-day things that I find so very dull. So over the next few months,… Continue reading Gratitude Adjustment
This is the original haircut in Samoa. Awhile back, I had written about The Husband learning to cut my hair in Samoa. Now that I have a scanner, you can see the real deal. This, I'm sorry to say, is when I gave him the Stare Cut.
When it comes to your girlfriends, women just know - we are there for each other. A wise friend maybe said it best when she told me, “Friends help friends move. But girlfriends help move bodies.” Now before you think this was a Dixie Chicks’ “Goodbye Earl” Hefty Bag moment, think again. This conversation was about… Continue reading It’s A Girlfriend Thing
thought that upon Older Boy entering the teenage years, parenting would get easier in the sense that it's not that hands-on, high energy, goalie parent thing like when they were little. Har-dee-har-har. What I'm starting to realize is that my job just got much more difficult. Problem is, I remember all the shit I pulled… Continue reading It’s A Shock Alright
