In Interrupt This Introspective…
To bring you that my younger son just sang the lines,:
“Finger banging my heart,”
in his room just now. That seizing up you just felt, that was my brain.
Full Custody
My children are home! My children are home! For now!
Because they are going to Nana’s tonight. And tomorrow. And Mike’s the next day.
And they just spent the last week, and a total of 17 days this month with their father.
Yes, folks, this is how a full custody single mother lives when […]
Sixth Grade Band Rocks House, Details to Follow
My younger son started playing the trombone this year.
His school does this awesome thing where they set up all the different instruments in the common area during an informational meeting close to the beginning of the school year. Kids walk around blowing their germs into various mouthpieces, then decide if they really […]

So I had to zip up my pants instead of letting my belly sit naked in my lap.
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.

We walked in, and immediately Brett is off in a corner, crying. AWESOME.
Turns out, his cousin has an enormous dog and I forget (because I win Motherhood) that Brett is really scared of big dogs. This dog is named SUMO. So introductions are […]
Shockingly, I didn’t pass out
My dad, notoriously in love with things that transport people, is currently into planes. And has friends that are into planes. Who fly planes. Who wanted to take my son on a plane. Their plane. Their tiny, itty bitty plane.
I LET HIM.
I couldn’t tell a thirteen year old […]

I finally uploaded the bazillion pictures from it today. So, here’s a rundown of my life in the time of this camera.
We adopted another baby, Toby.
There was this. I knew I had a damn picture of it.
I have these two pictures of Lydia. Looking at…something.
Eh???
My sister started playing hockey. Then she […]

Do they make slings that hold twelve year olds?

On Wednesday nights, I teach a late class. Mike picks up the boys from my house and just keeps them overnight and brings them home in the mornings for school.
I usually teach my class and go home to NB to sleep at his place. So this morning I got up bright […]
