Alphabet F-Bombs

Posted in Mommahood, tagged , , , , on June 29, 2009 | 6 Comments »

So last night I was putting Kaya to bed and reading her an alphabet book when we got to the “F” page. I started naming all the ‘F’ words on the page – fox, fence, farmer, when all of a sudden she says: “Mommy, is ‘fuck’ a bad word?” Ex-squeeze me??? I didn’t know whether to [...]

Good morning, my legions of adoring fans. So sorry that I have been amiss in my duties and not written a post in a few days. I am sure you have all been on the edge of your seat, anxiously awaiting my next posting. Maybe you even found yourself pacing back and forth in front [...]

Channeling Meg Ryan

Posted in About, part deux, Peaks & Valleys on June 23, 2009 | 4 Comments »

So, today is my birthday. A whopping 37. More specifically, 40 minus 3 years. With this birthday more than any other, I cannot help but think of that scene in “When Harry Met Sally” where Meg Ryan is crying on her bed and Billy Crystal is trying to comfort her. When he asks her what’s [...]

A foot is no place for a horse

I got stepped on by a horse today. On my foot. While wearing sandals. Yeah, it sucked, to say the least. I’ve been in a foul mood ever since. On Father’s Day. Poor Siigo. So I am writing this blog in an attempt to distract myself from my misery and make myself feel better. Not [...]

My Son the Dictator

Every day since I have lived in our house – which would be about five years – I have driven by this beautiful meadow and never stopped. Well, I couldn’t take it anymore. Right now, the meadow is absolutely amazing, what with all the wildflowers blooming and the creek in full stream from the snow [...]

Wanted: Temporary Maintenance Supervisor

Posted in Mommahood, Peaks & Valleys, tagged , , on June 17, 2009 | 2 Comments »

Next month, I am going on my first-ever BIG trip without kids or husband since I’ve been married. And I am absolutely terrified. Don’t get me wrong. I am not scared about being away from my children or hubbie. In fact, I am actually looking forward to it and think it’s much deserved, seeing as I [...]

Help Me to Forget

So there is a very, very, VERY, important day coming up. June 23rd. It’s mucho importante for two reasons. For one, it’s my birthday. I mean, in my opinion it should be a national holiday. I know what you’re asking – “It’s not already?” Yes, sad but true, not everyone is aware of the glorious day [...]

The Two Most Evil Books in the World

Posted in Good Reads, Mommahood, tagged , , on June 12, 2009 | 2 Comments »

    I’m screwed. Kaya recently discovered the most evil book in the world and is making me read it to her every night: “Guess How Much I Love You” by Sam McBratney. Don’t be fooled by the innocent-looking cover and soft, pastel colors. This book is almost as evil as Poltergeist. The author should be arrested [...]

My Son the Camel

Posted in Mommahood, tagged , , , on June 11, 2009 | 2 Comments »

My son is an extremely picky eater. I mean, P-I-C-K-Y. No joke: he eats five things. And it pretty much hasn’t changed since he started eating solid food. When he was 2, he would only eat cottage cheese. If we didn’t have it in the house, it was cause for sheer panic. Then we discovered Amy’s [...]

Geisha Girl Gone Wrong

What do you do when you are upstairs enjoying time to yourself while your two kids are playing so beautifully together downstairs, when all of a sudden you hear your 2-year old say: “Oh God, Oh God, Oh God. I got to go wash my hands?” First, you ignore her. Don’t do anything. I have [...]
