Who else do you know that watches shit like this and starts thinking Deep Thoughts about sexuality, gender, and religion? I posted to MamaPop last week about a UK show called Big Fat Gypsy Weddings (or My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding according to some sites) and wailed about how it wasn’t available to watch in [...] I spent most of yesterday on the couch, tooling around on the internet and watching TV, which is what you’re supposed to do when you’re sick. I think the giddiness that I experience at the prospect of being able to partake in such activities without a smidgen of guilt is what jump-starts the recovery process. I [...] Jason stood in front of me, expectantly, as I pondered my purchase. His black jacket was smudged with foundation and he smelled like cigarettes, especially when he leaned in to apply the products that I was sampling. “I’ll take the primer, the powder, the concealer, the brushes…and the eye cream. I don’t need any moisturizer,” I [...] Want to hear something kind of mushy and pathetic? The husband was out of town the last two nights, therefore I couldn’t get to sleep. I guess when you sleep with someone most nights for 10 years, not having them next to you is distracting. Wednesday night, I tossed and turned until after 2 a.m. [...] Both my grandmother and the husband’s grandmother regularly sport house dresses, or “hahs dresses” as they pronounce them. They might also call them “dusters” from time to time. They’re loose, knee or calf-length dresses in a light, feminine fabric and often feature a zipper closure in the front. They’re worn for housework and general [...] 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 [...] 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 [...] 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 [...]  |
