All summer since the “I’m training for a half marathon” post, I’ve been struggling with an update here. Who wants to follow up a training post with some more of the usual summer laziness? Instead I started reading a couple of mommy books, Lit, by Mary Karr and Bad Mother by Ayelet Waldman. I’m always [...]

Lately my work email has been crashing. I’m not sure if it’s the heat or what, but these hiccups have given me a little time to post here. Whoever told me years ago that the summertime in DC was dead work wise lied! I have never had a slow working summer here and it always [...] Must watch this banned video…It’s heart breaking. Every night that we have been out to dinner, on our trip to the gulf, we struggle for conversation other than the looming oil devastation. Each day’s news outlook shadows any other topic. Some days the news report has flicker of hope only to be followed by another story completely hopeless. Tonight has we sat [...] Gulf of Mexico I made this photo of Francis last year on our summer vacation to the Panhandle in Florida. I never imagined it might be the last image like this I ever make. Francis will never have the same childhood memories I have of spending weeks at a time swimming in the Gulf of [...] I’m not sure Chris and I have had a night out since Beckett was born. Eight months ago! Chris is convinced he hasn’t seen a show in three years (he’s totally right I’m just in denial). Tonight was our breaking point. We really need to find a trusted babysitter. yikes. I envy those with family [...] All four-year-old’s want to be adored, so I never thought twice when Francis kept requesting The Stone Roses every morning on the way to school for the last month. I didn’t think he was narcissistic or egotistical, and although I normally am curious about how his four-year-old mind interprets some songs, this one I had [...] As I watched signing of the health care reform bill yesterday with Beckett I couldn’t help from smiling. Finally there is someone with good intentions creating public reform. When Obama says he is doing this for his mother, I believe him. Anyone who has experience health issues them self or through a loved one knows [...] NEVER NEVER NEVER call your cousin in the grocery store and start chatting with her about how disgruntle you are as an adult because of your f@*#d up childhood. One, because it won’t help and she will have no sympathy and TWO, because someone might steal your wallet and proceed to rent a car before [...] I started working on a post that I’m really excited about, but am running into a few technical difficulties. In the mean time, while I try to work everything out, I thought I’d share this special bit of wisdom that I often have to turn to. Francis definitely gets his awesome sense of timing from [...] |
