Maybe if I do this meme, Mocha Momma will let me touch her hair at BlogHer
The lovely Kelly of Mocha Momma (featured in a BlogHer interview by Surrender, Dorothy author and Sleep is for the Weak editor, Rita Arens) told me to do this meme.
That’s right, she told me to. And while I’m used to giving the orders around here, I can take direction too. That said, this […]

Peace, love and understanding
Not for me, but for my fellow mamas. That’s what I want to see this Mother’s Day.
Why do so many mothers pin their hopes on a single day out of the year? Why does it have to be such a make or break occasion? Cards, flowers, phone calls, breakfast in bed - yes, it’s all […]

Who needs some meaningless Bloggie…
…when you can be a Bangable Blog Babe?
I found this link in my Site Meter. I don’t know where the hell he got that god-awful picture of me that’s at least fifteen years old, and I realize that, at #5 on the list of May’s Blog Babes, I just barely passed muster. Maybe […]

Mothering two, part two
A little over a year ago, I wrote a post titled “Mothering Two”. Now, three wonderful blogfriends are each expecting their second child, and we’re all sharing advice with them about the transition from one to two.
In the weeks leading up to CJ’s birth, I would gaze at Tacy and wonder how I could possibly […]

The ideal of nonconformity
There’s a sequence to life that’s drilled into the heads of young girls - by their parents and by popular culture - high school, then college; marriage, then children. It’s touted as the “right” way to do things, a modern version of how to meet and marry the prince and ride off into the […]

Meeting my mother in the middle
When I was growing up, I often marveled at the way my friends spoke to their mothers. To put it bluntly, if I’d mouthed off like they did, my mother would have smacked me. Of course, she did smack me a few times, but I only took the liberty of talking back to […]

Odds and ends
Does anyone else SQUEEZE the box of wine when it’s almost empty in a misguided attempt to drain it of that last half-ounce? Or am I the only trashy boxed-wine drinker out there?
——————————
I was “hey-babied” yesterday by a couple of high school kids. The creepy part was that I was wearing Oliver in the […]

One lousy push present
I never received a push present - not with any of my three children. And that’s okay, because not only do I find the term “push present” fairly obnoxious, I never actually pushed.
How about a “guts on a platter present” instead?
Don’t get me wrong. I love presents. I especially love presents that […]

Like a sailor
Maybe I should be ashamed to admit it, but I’ve got a whole host of habits that aren’t exactly ladylike.
Many of them are just perfectly normal bodily functions which we all share, but which I’m disinclined to try to hide unless I’ve just met you or I’m at a fancy restaurant. I do have […]

Motherhood: The Land of Indigenous Assvice
When I became pregnant for the first time, I was woefully unprepared for how other people - friends, relatives, and complete strangers - would take my expanding belly as license to share their unsolicited opinions regarding a wide variety of topics, from changing tables to breastfeeding.
Because every mother-to-be feels like discussing the proper purpose of […]
