So were making our cake last night for the silent auction at the B&G banquet, and I'm trying to modify the recipe with applesauce to make it less deadly and Mer says "Mom, I have something to tell you" I'm thinking shit, what happened because I dared to try and catch up on work and wasn't at sch...

Like always it's another last-minute-crack-of-dawn-gonna-scramble-to-make-the-most-creative-stupid-Valentines...Valentines. (Did I mention I hate Valentines Day?) Excited about our "Eat Wise" committee meeting with Superintendent Karl Springer this morning, but know the struggle we have ahead. Ah th...

I've had an incredible amount of support from typepad over the last...since January 22, but this Hover.crap takeover of Domain Direct has about done me in. I have a sub under The 13th Apostol. Since the Hover craft landed, the sub blog hasn't loaded correctly, as in "We here at Hover don't know what...

Oh, hello...I lied. Again.I seem to do that a lot over the last six months."Yeah I'm fine""Of course I want a dog""I can eat anything I want and not look pregnant" It just goes on and on.

Am I such a bad mother I let another insecure woman allege again three months ago I was neglecting my son because (again)...

It's pretty much how I feel about the way the world works. It's pretty much the way I feel about the fact I cannot change the way the world works. I don't need Halloween costumes if I so choose. Mer thinks it's very Greek. He is genetically hard wired not to fear me. It's the face I use to show Bill...

Many...MANY of my personal goals and dreams have somehow come to pass in my life, and yet I'm still one of the most negative women you'll ever meet. I quit writing out of shame. Mine. The only way to fulfill my greatest dream of becoming a writer is to FUCK the shame and say it how it is. How it is ...

If you have in-laws, and they want you in their life - even if it's to tell you what a complete loser you are - be thankful for them today. If you have old friends, and they want you in their life - even if it's to rub your nose in their new, latest, material thing - be thankful for them today. If y...

"Strong Woman" vs. "Self Will"...where do you draw the line? Alone in this world raising a child, things get muddied...I knew a woman with a gambling problem who was the Treasurer of her Book Club...she stole a great deal of money over the period of several years.
