I have been meaning to write a post about why I haven't been writing many posts lately, but go figure, for all the reasons I haven't written about yet, I haven't finished it. So, I'm going to take the excellent suggestion offered by Wendy of Renewing Ruined Cities, who said I should consider re-posting some [...]

Sweet Dreams

Fine then, a gajillion?) things I want to get out of my head and onto this virtual paper, but I [...]
My Muse

You wouldn't have anything to write about without me..." "I know. It's true. That's the sad life of a codependent. My problem is being all wrapped up in [...]
There Is No Normal
Silly me! I thought, once the kids are back in school, things will get back to normal. You know, normal being where everything goes perfectly and no one gets sick and there are no pressing crises and I have the luxury of little time each day to sit in front of a laptop and tippity-tap [...]

She did 10 random things about herself as a mama, and while I think she'd be happy with any 10 things, [...]
Getting Honest about Blogging
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, but I [...]
