I was reading a guest column in the New York Times blog Motherlode today about the ways in which we spend our time as mothers. It included a claim that "the average mom who is not in the workforce and whose youngest kid is under age [...]

Mary Ann did this little exercise on her blog a while back, and it looked like fun. You are supposed to list what you are about without stopping to think about it. Since the kids are on break, and I don't have time to think [...]

My friend Mama over at The Elmo Wallpaper riffed on the Facebook "25 Random Things" meme and started her own "10 Things" meme. She did 10 random things about herself as a mama, and while I think she'd be happy with any 10 things, I'm going [...]

I had a really wonderful, productive day yesterday. I got the kids fed and clothed and to school on time. While they were in school, I:
did all the dishes
washed and dried a load of laundry
got some good writing work done
meditated
ate a healthy lunch
went through [...]
I think I made everyone feel guilty about not giving me the major awards I'd asked people not to give me, because this week I'm rolling in the love. Mim tells me I'm fabulous. And I have to believe her, because she is too. And now I'm supposed to name 5 other fabulous [...]
Margaux at Love in the Time of Addiction tagged me with this award/meme by virtue of my (say this in a Wizard of Oz voice, please) scrupulous and honest honesty. I'm supposed to share 10 honest things about myself and then tag 7 others. I usually do these kinds of things in haiku, [...]
I decided that I was going to take weekends to catch up on my e-mail and blog reading, rather than spending time writing blog posts. But as I was catching up on my reading, I found this four things meme over at LadyBug Crossing, and decided to do it today. I guess I [...]
Actually, I've been tagged twice, in two different memes. Mrs. SP over at Such Simple Pleasures has asked me to tell you all 7 random things about myself, and Ingrid at Boricua in Texas has asked me to tell you 26 things about myself in alphabetical order. With apologies to Ingrid, I'm going to [...]
Has anyone other than my husband and me had this experience? We'll be watching the Oscars or looking at that "Year in Review" edition of some magazine or newspaper, and we'll see someone famous who died that year, and we'll be shocked. Wait?! What?! I thought that person was already dead. [...]
Tonight I am thinking of...
My friend, Ellen, whom I thought of on her birthday but neglected to call or e-mail. Um, happy belated birthday on my blog, if you are reading. (How lame is that?) I thought of her tonight because I was eating cookie dough ice cream straight from the carton. [...]
