I’m back with another installment of Facebook posts that could have been blog posts back in the day… One of my family members actually asked me, “are you still writing on your blog?” Ummmm….yeah. I’ve kind of dropped the ball on that, huh? I DO have something new that I’m working on though (i.e….

They Coulda’ Been Great… March 2013
Well – it doesn’t look like I’ll have time to post anything new before the Listen to Your Mother – DC show on April 28th (and speaking of that – have you bought your tickets yet?). So here is another installment of my “this could have been a blog post” series. If you haven’t…
They Coulda’ Been Great… February 2013 Facebook Upates
I have a few half written posts that I swear I will finish one of these days (except for the Christmas one – that shelf life has long since expired…) But I don’t seem to have time for more than the odd Facebook update here and there. So I guess I’ll just continue with…
What’s Your Status? (Alternatively Titled: They Coulda’ Been Great) – January 2013 Facebook Upates
Remember when we used to write regularly in our blogs and people would even READ what we wrote and possibly COMMENT? And we would read other blogs and comment and stuff too. And there would be this whole communication thing going on…what did we call it back then? OH YEAH – blogging. Now we…
About Last Night… (Alternatively Titled: Bats Alive!)
January 22, 2013, 9:30 p.m. So even though I have two posts partially finished to, you know – FINISH (one of which is about my Christmas), I have GOT to talk about what happened last night. At about 11:00 I was channel surfing (we still call it that right? I’m so ’90s about electronics, I’m…
Gals, Elves, Kids and Mothers
I guess I’m posting monthly now? I’m sorry – but this new job thing is kind of overwhelming. So of course, I decided to add a second job. What? That makes total sense. I’ve already abused my Facebook and Twitter privileges with this – but nothing actually exists until you mention it on your blog…
Now We Are Six
When I was one, I had just begun. When I was two, I was nearly new. When I was three, I was hardly me. When I was four, I was not much more. When I was five, I was just alive. But now I am six, I’m as clever as clever. So I think I’ll…
What’s New?
So a lot has happened in the past couple of weeks… You already heard last week, that the Listen to Your Mother 2012 videos are all online. I’ve watched all of them (seriously – all ten shows) and highly recommend that you do too. But I’ll warn you…these shows are addictive and you may find…
Good Omens
The other day, I burst into tears while apologizing to another mother at the pool. This was as much of a surprise for me as it was for her. While I do cry on occasion, it’s generally the result of frustration or hurt feelings – and almost exclusively reserved for my husband in the privacy…
In the Spirit
The summer if literally flying by and I have not been much of a writer. Unless you consider posting pictures of stuff I wish I could buy for myself…which I don’t. And this is largely due to the fact that I am NEVER alone. Seriously. We even have a dog now, and she follows me…
Mother to three children (four if you count my husband), keeper of a moderately sane house, admirer of beautiful interiors and fashion that becomes more and more "young" for me, textile junkie and believer in the power of wishing really, really hard. I wage a daily battle against feet on furniture, "outside voices" inside, the ever widening chasm between now and "when I used to work," wrinkles, a lack of personal time, dust and the constant arrows that having a special needs child shoots directly into one's heart. So far dust and wrinkles are winning, but only because even the best of multitaskers have their limits.
