Personal Neurosis thru Material Osmosis

Personal Neurosis thru Material Osmosis
~I haven’t been to the dentist in over 3 years. My 3-year-old has never been ~ I know, this makes me a bad mom, right? I loathe the dentist, more than any primary physician or OB/GYN on the planet. I would rather have a pap smear and double-appendectomy at the same time, thankyouverymuch. The only... Read more »

Cancer called, once again.

Cancer called, once again.
I’ve been a sucky blogger recently. My last post was about a million years ago, or so it feels. And for someone who prides themselves on being a rock star multi-tasker, I’ve done a shit job. I’m sure a few of my readers are feeling neglected, like that kid in gym class who gets picked... Read more »

Turning a very salty cheek

Turning a very salty cheek
How you deal with life is sometimes a matter of perspective. Being a Pisces, I tend to explode with emotion every single time I have one. My reaction can either light up a room or bring me to the brink of depression. In other words, I’m sensitive. I tend to let other’s actions, words and... Read more »

The Pinterest Rebellion

The Pinterest Rebellion
I know at this point that I’m a bit behind everyone else on the planet, and even worse, a dog’s year behind the social media world, but here I am. Hey, it’s not about what time you arrived at the party, it’s all about whether you showed up at all, right? I have to admit... Read more »

Have My Liver Please, with a Glass of Chianti

Have My Liver Please, with a Glass of Chianti
It all started with heartburn. After going to see my primary physician to get a script for my daily heartburn, she orders me to get blood work done because it “may have an effect” on my liver. And it’s just a good thing to do each year anyway. Um, good for who? Because it’s not... Read more »

The Dichotomy of March

The Dichotomy of March
Usually, the month of March is disgustingly predictable in the Midwest; continued amounts of snowfall and ass-biting cold, with the occasional sunny day popping in unexpectedly. Just to give you a false sense of hope and screw with your well-being. Sounds a lot like my first marriage. Meh. But this past month in Chicago has... Read more »

Negotiating with a 3-year-old ~ The Mac n' Cheese debate

Negotiating with a 3-year-old ~ The Mac n' Cheese debate
It starts as soon as we pull into the Panera parking lot. Dude quickly voices his aversion for my restaurant of choice. The tears and screaming begin. “Mamaaaaaaa! I want to go to McDonalds!!!” Oh Christ, I can tell it’s going to be a rough afternoon, and we haven’t even gotten out of the car... Read more »

A Day in the Life of a WAHM

A Day in the Life of a WAHM
6:00 AM ~ Alarm goes off. Morning already? Who the hell allowed this to happen?! I quickly hit snooze. 6:01 – 6:29 ~ I hit snooze a few more times. I refuse to be my alarm’s bitch. 6:30 ~ Little Woman stands in my bedroom, yelling at me to get my ass up. Yeayeayea, I... Read more »

Valentine’s Day can suck it!

Valentine’s Day can suck it!
As most couples are celebrating this Day of Love, I personally am going to ignore this ridiculous holiday and carry on as any other day. I’ve already made the effort to buy the treats and Valentine’s Day cards for Little Woman and Dude’s school parties tomorrow, which they are excited about. And when they get... Read more »

So what floats your boat?

So what floats your boat?
In my profession, I get asked all the time “so where do you find your inspiration?” HA! Isn’t that the $10 million dollar question. On the outside, I tend to give these inquisitors an answer that starts with a silent pause, while I gaze into the distance as if in search of the perfect words... Read more »
