For the past three years or so I have been in a bit of a panic mode. First, it was no picnic to discover myself pregnant by my ex-husband. My mother and I were in joint therapy at the time and informing her that I was carrying the child of my ex-husband effectively ended any [...]

I seriously considered bagging the NaBloPoMo thing tonight. Why give up with just two more days left? I don’t know except that I’m tired. I’m tired of trying to find Devon’s Lightening McQueen car and trying to get him to actually eat solid food. I am tired of editing Loren’s English papers and wanting to [...]

I know I am an ingrate on nearly every level of my being. I get it and accept it. Nevertheless, every year around the end of November I start to get fidgety at the thought of spending the holidays with my family. This is where one might call me an ungrateful bitch, but nobody can [...]

I have what I suspect to be food poisoning. It seems as though when I was drinking my afternoon tea a mysterious force shoved its over sized fist up my ass and began to grab and twist my intestines. One moment I was fine the next doubled over and crawling for the toilet, which is [...]

Because I am beat from actually having to clock in and give somebody eight hours of my time, I am going to post a video of a commercial Loren recently worked on. It is airing all over Denver to help promote the Denver Film Fest. A friend of ours has won several awards from the [...]

I work sort of an odd schedule, sort of an opposite-of-summer thing. While a teacher might work the school year and take the summer off, I work the winter and take the remaining seven months off. Yes, I do have my day gig, but the actual going to the office sort of thing is very [...]

The Griswald’s have nothing on my crazy-ass family. I can’t go in to detail tonight because the nutty fuckers wore me out today and I have to start back to work on the ski mountain tomorrow. But picture this: I awaken to the sounds of my mother informing my brother that he is an asshole [...]

Why oh why do I sign up for NaBloPoMo? I suck at commitment and follow through. I worry throughout the day if I will be able to pull off the daily post. But, oh, that’s right. It’s because I am looking for some sort of validation. Because I am codependent and needing affirmation to carry [...]
