Family Tree of a Modern Child

As NB and I continue on this little journey and sometimes discuss what’s next, we have noticed something. Our kids have a lot of unexpected siblings.
Daniel and Brett have Sister 1 and Sister 2 at their dad’s. Add in NB’s daughter, E, let’s say. Even if we aren’t living together *yet* nor […]

On the Whole Living Alone Thing

It sucks.
I hate living without a partner.
I realize that so much of this is because I DID live with a partner for my entire adult life. Except that one time.
When the boys’ daddy and I divorced a thousand years ago, I was so happy to be free of him and his Nintendo […]

Rocking the Manic Part

My divorce was final yesterday.
I colored my hair again. Using Manic Panic.
Oh yeah, Manic Panic is awesome.
I bought this:

Manic Panic comes in jar and is a cream. You would think this is messier than a squirty tube thing like most hair colors you are used to. Well, now, you would […]

Atomic Pictures

I went to a salon for the pinkening. Because I am a pansy who has never touched a bottle of hair bleaching anything before. That is probably wayyyy less cool than doing this at home with a bottle of Boone’s Strawberry Hill like all the young whipper-snappers are doing.
But, still. Awesome.
Despite how […]

There’s No El Dorado In There

You guys are delicious, quite possibly tasting of chocolate and cream. Thank you for ignoring my COMMENTS CLOSED decision and emailing my sick ass anyway.
When I make posts such as the last one, they are really for me. This place was supposed to be my venting ground, my therapy. Sometimes, […]

Shit, Fan, Hitting

In sum, the marriage is over. Total shit hitting the fan, mud-slinging commencing.
It’s horrible.
Thank you for all your kind comments and some day, hopefully soon, I can send out batches of super chocolate chunk cookies to each of you. Thank you so much.

Truthiness Sucks

There has been twittering around town about my martial problems and this blog. Okay, so the twittering is basically coming from inside my house, from my spouse, but whatever.
I feel pressured to tell you all, I am probably not worthy of the kindness you have shown me.
I am a bad wife. […]

Moving Shit Around

I never expected this. A thousand times I’ve expected this.
But either way, here we are.
The boys and I are moving back to my mama’s house.
My mother is insane, fun, difficult to explain, loves questionable men (and not in the fun way), drinks her dinner every night, and loves the absolute hell out […]

After months and months…

A new Art of Motherhood is up.
Now, yes, we’re having serious problems. Like every marriage, these problems aren’t new but have been brought to the forefront and we have no choice but to deal with them full-force right now.

That Sweetly Vacant Look

When I’m faced with something difficult, something painful, I have this defense mechanism I do. It’s not healthy, it’s not normal I’m sure, but it was born out of an extraordinary situation in the past and I’m too easily snapped into it.
I withdraw.
Mentally, I go away. Take a long internal walk through the […]
