My children have no idea what my real name is. It’s not just that they think my official name is Mommy. It’s that they so rarely, if ever, hear their father utter my real name. That’s because, for better or worse, Siig calls me Pookie. Or Pook. Or Pooks. And yes, at times, it’s slightly embarrassing. [...]

Bath-time Confessions
Posted in Mommahood, tagged bath time, kids, pee on June 6, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Confession #1: I let my kids pee in the bathtub. And then I let them sit in there. And then I wash them. Is that wrong? Before you call Child Protective Services or the Hazmat unit, let me say a few words in my defense. I don’t encourage them to pee in the tub, I [...]

In the words of Rod Stewart: “If you want my body, and you think I’m funny, come on sugar, vote for me.” Well, maybe I’ve taken some creative license with the lyrics.

I have a nest in my hair. It likes to hide above my right ear where I won’t spot it if my hair is down. But if I lift up a few of my lovely locks, there it is, sitting there. Taunting me. No matter what I do to try and exterminate it, it always comes [...]
Embracing My Inner Housewife
Posted in Mommahood, tagged desperate housewife, housewife, working mothers on June 1, 2009 | 2 Comments »
Oh my god. I think I’m a housewife. That horrendous thought gradually crept on me over the weekend, like a poisonous spider daintily walking on your arm before it sinks its fangs into you. It started Thursday night when we were at our friend Amy’s house. I watched as she told her husband to go [...]
