The Penguins lost last night, ending the season on a bit of a whimper and sending Montreal on further toward their 8 billionth Stanley Cup. We opted not to watch the game until the bitter end when the score flipped over to 5-2 in the middle of the third period. It was getting late and [...]

My poor kiddo was sick over the weekend. Indeed, his ailments on Mother’s Day got a little worse before they got better. He doesn’t have asthma, but his lungs seem to be especially prone to congestion and nastiness whenever he gets a cold. Saturday he seemed to be sniffling more than usual (we’re all kind of [...] When I was a kid, I had a Cabbage Patch Kids calendar. If I remember correctly, it was for 1987. The calendar had Cabbage Patch Kid dolls posed in situations appropriate for each month: a Kid in rain jacket, galoshes, and umbrella for April, two Kids exchanging valentines for February. My favorite was May’s picture: [...] That’s me at my desk. I’ve been in this position most of the day because I have this really annoying stomachache. So what’s been going on with me? Eh, a lot and not much, know what I mean? I’ve been really busy at work, aside from being doubled over and groaning. The baby had his first [...] This morning, I admitted something to myself: I’m neurotic about lunch. And, like any good mother, I blame my son for this. He’s a picky eater, though much MUCH better than he used to be. But at any given time, the list of things that he will eat for lunch is pretty short. So, I’m always trying [...] I shouldn’t call it punishment, but sometimes it feels like it. I’m doing Couch to 5k. I finished my third week on Saturday and I’m honestly kind of surprised that I’ve made it this far. The first few days I thought for sure that I would die, but I can actually feel myself getting stronger bit [...] I’m pretty sure that every spring around this time, my brain goes to work blocking my memories of how stressed I get. This is always an incredibly busy time for me at work and yesterday I was thinking about how the three springs prior to this one, I was taking two graduate classes (and getting [...] Last week, I opened the door to hustle the baby to the bus stop, and gasped when I saw a big, flat package on the porch. My diploma. My Master’s degree. Live and in the flesh paper-and-faux-leather-case. Faced with a cartoonish amount of student debt (when I think of the total, which I’ve been advised not to [...] I don’t know what I think about fate and powers greater than us and whatnot. I know that the universe is not something that I can comprehend but that sometimes it seems to work for a minute or two. With me trying desperately to get out of the emotional k-hole that I had been in, the [...] The other night, I had just drifted off to sleep. Our cat was curled up against my tummy, purring away and giving me some extra warmth. I was reaching that really good point of sleep when a small, familiar voice woke me up with a phrase that always makes me panic: “Mum. I don’t feel so [...]  |
