And People Wonder Why I Act Crazy
June 10, 2010
When I was brushing my teeth and putting in my contacts this morning my children were making their breakfast and talking off their clothes. As I walked down the hall I could hear them singing: Happy birthday to me, I’m 103, I’m still in pre-school and I am naked. It isn’t their birthday, they are [...]

Do you remember what you were doing six years ago today? I do. I remember what I was doing five years ago today too. Happy birthday Goon Squad. I wouldn’t be who I am today without you. I love you very, very much.

“Mommy?” he said “Can you live without ever drinking chocolate milk?” “Sure,” I said “Lots of people probably never drink chocolate milk.” “You can live without ever ever drinking a single drop of chocolate milk?” “Yes.

January 22, 2010
My neighbor was picking up her daughter who was over here playing with Claudia when she told me that she was watching a power point presentation at work and there was a picture of me in it. Strange? Yes, until the guy giving the presentation told her it was a picture from the BlogHer conference [...]
Stuth
January 20, 2010
For some reason completely out of my realm of understanding my children (especially the boy) has started replacing his “f” sounds with the “th” sound. They usually only do this when it is the last sound in a word, so stuff becomes stuth, or enough becomes enuth. It is almost some sort of reversed cockney, [...]
