There is Nothing Else To Say Today But This

March 18, 2010

You beat it once, you can do it again, all my love, friend. I have another close friend who is battling the same horrendous disease.  She does not live her life online and her story is her own and I will not share it here because it is hers.  But I will say this, her [...]

Cool Rider

March 17, 2010

Last year we desperately tried to get Michael on a bike.  And he said he wanted to, but really, he didn't.  Maybe he was scared, maybe it was the low muscle tone, maybe he just didn't want to.  Hell, I still don't know how to ride a bike, and I'm a well rounded, perfectly lovely [...]

5 Years

March 15, 2010

When I think about this year, it is so hard not to think about all the bad.  But I promised myself this post was not going to be about all the struggles that this year brought you, but all the good. Michael, you have matured so much this year.  You are no longer afraid to [...]

March 11, 2010

So if you follow me on twitter, you would know this post was coming.  I came home from a program at Michael’s school last night on “why you should send your child to our Kindergarten when there is a perfectly good free Kindergarten down the street,” totally stressed and freaking out.  See, I had made [...]

I’m Watching Too Much Stephen Colbert

March 9, 2010

I've recently taken up running.  And I kind of hate it.  It's boring and it sucks, but it is a quick form of exercise that you can do anywhere.  And when we were snowed in I could even do it on the wii and run around their pretend island.  But I was complaining to Doug about [...]

Through the Eyes of Love**

March 8, 2010

We took Michael ice skating on Saturday.  I expected him to be terrified and freak out, but it is something I had wanted to do for a long time.  We talked about it on Saturday and he said he wanted to go and then when the time came to leave he said he didn't.  So [...]

Circle Game

March 3, 2010

I fell in love with Doug on a carousel.  We weren't even dating at the time.  I, in fact, was dating one of his friends.  But we were at a an amusement park with a group of friends (my boyfriend was absent, I can't even remember why) and this little boy had attached himself to [...]

March 2, 2010

We do this fun thing at MamaPop where we wax on poetically about one topic or another and we call it the MamaPop Roundtable.  It is one of my favorite things that we do. This week the topic was to pick our favorite pop culture topic of the week and talk.  I talked for 3 [...]
