I read a post in someone's journal yesterday. It was essentially a post about feminism and what a "typical" woman may or may not look like. It did not make my day. Yesterday morning, I had to get some X-rays and had to give the receptionist some personal information. "Where do you work?" she asked ( Read more... )

It was pretty cold today so I decided to take the kids to a local mall where they have an indoor playground to blow off some steam before nap time. I need to go to the library...but that can be an adventure since my kids don't understand the concept of appropriate quietness...Anyway...listened to U2 on the way there. Is it possible to play " ( Read more... )

Ummm....yeah. It's time for the facts. I've attempted to ignore them...but I really can't any more. I am an optimist, so that helps, but here's the truth. I don't feel very good. I've tried not to talk about it because who wants to read 9,003 posts about someone not feeling good. However, the last few entries I've written have been forced out ( Read more... )

I've read several essays lately on the admonishment to live simply. One came from George Carlin. I read it on message board and it was truly breathtaking. The "live simply" message seems to be cropping up every where...and yes I do live fairly simply. I've spoken of that before, that I feel trapped in a time warp here in my tiny 1940's row-home ( Read more... )

It's a good day for a song or two.

Essay writing on the fly. Here's what it's like to write and be a Mom. This is part one of an essay I'm working on which is a sort of sequel to an essay I wrote a while back. It's not finished as yet...it has really only begun to take shape. My kids have risen from bed and so I must stop writing and be a mom. I may continue to work on this ( Read more... )

Jim and I had a long talk last night...about lots of things. But one of the things we talked about was my inability to write when the inspiration hits me. I have to "save" it up until the kids are asleep...either during their nap time or early in the morning. So at some point, he mused, they need to learn to lay off me so that I can write when ( Read more... )
