Blogging: the therapy.

On Being All Set.

September 26, 2011

The following inner dialogue occurred Friday morning, directly after my second trip in three days to the Pediatrician’s office. I drove around to the Chick-Fil-A drive-thru window for like the ninety-dozenth time in the past three weeks…she gave me my order and then perkily chirped, “Here’s your large coke and your small lemonade! You’re all [...]

The Nature Channel Presents: The Blogger in Peril.

September 7, 2011

See the indigenous blogger, trapped like a ravenous wild dog in a one foot cage, slowly losing her mind.  See her as she begins talking to her child’s balloon, wishing in vain that it was a Volleyball with a face painted on it. This blogger is on her third day of having no power.  This [...]

Meanderings About 30.

September 6, 2011

What I Learned at BlogHer.

August 10, 2011

I decided to attend my third BlogHer at the last minute to go to one event: The Voices of the Year Reception.  Even though I wasn’t chosen as a speaker (thank goodness because my nerves couldn’t have handled it), being an Honoree was so exciting, and I had promised myself last year that if I [...]

Hacked: A Shame Too Great To Bear.

July 25, 2011

Every now and then, I’ll get an email from someone with nothing in it but a mighty suspicious link. With a mixture of disappointment, shame on their behalf, and an unhealthy level of Technological Elitist Disdain, I shake my head, hit delete, wonder what the poor soul clicked on to bring such a travesty down [...]

Mommy Is Not Your Servant.

July 20, 2011

“Hey Mommy – Can I have some more apple juice? My cup is empty.” “Sure, honey! Just a minute and I’ll fix it for you.” “Okay! I’m going to go play in the Living Room. You can bring it to me in there.” SCREEEEEEEEECH “OOOOH no you didn’t, girlfriend. Before you were born, I endured [...]

How to Act When They Have a Baby.

June 14, 2011

You know how some people contract an illness of ridiculous speech when you’re pregnant? Regarding that disease, I have grave medical news: that craziness doesn’t always fade after you deliver your baby.  In fact, in some cases, it can grow worse throughout your baby’s infanthood. I experienced someone with a most serious case of the [...]

Checking Up – Seven Weeks.

February 6, 2011

Since I have been open in the past with my struggles when Ali was a newborn and about my fears about doing it all over again, I wanted to honestly share my experiences with Noah as well, even if it forces me to be serious for a post every now and then.  I hope you [...]

You Know You’re a MOM when…

January 26, 2011

The events depicted are real events that happened to the author in much-too-recent memory – no actors were harmed used in the creation of this post.  …You’re hungry enough that you’d rather hold your baby and eat – while smelling dirty diaper – than risk waking them to freshen up their backside. …You notice people [...]

On Having a Social Media Baby: A Review.

January 2, 2011

As I’m sure you noticed, I made a conscious effort to share my entire pregnancy and birthing experience on social media via blogging, Facebook, and Twitter – at times possibly sharing more than some people wanted to know. I know that some of you thought I was crazy to give social media any attention while [...]
