Today we had a pleasant visit from Gillian and her twins, six months to the day younger than Mimi and Beenie. Her kids are Peter and Catherine. The six month difference is noticeable when vocabulary comes into play, but a two year-old and a two and a half year-old still have many similarities. All were [...]

I just got my first anonymous and hateful comment, which, instead of approving, I’d like to share with my readers…
“you are a total loser. Kill yourself”
Now, there’s no denying the fact that on occasion, I feel like a total loser. I suspect I am not alone in this. ‘Fallafelhead’, aka scrotum@dingleberry.com (I did not make [...]

I am not going to waste the next hour and fifteen minutes writing my silly blog entry. There are many other pressing items to attend to, one of which is to bathe myself, and after the ladies wake up from their nap, they, too will be bathed. Laundry, unloading the dishwasher, picking up around the [...]

look for a job
try to be a good wife, mother and hausfrau
I would rather continue doing what I’ve been doing for the past hour and a [...]

I’m thinking of a song Gilda Radner had on a comedy record I won on the radio when I was in middle school back in the early 80’s. “Fuck you, mister hippo, eat shit, mister bear…” or something along those lines. Really funny stuff. I only write about animals because we saw a bunch of [...]

It has finally happened. Yesterday I officially became a “mom”. Not mommy/ie, not mama, but MOM. You know how I can tell? Look at my feet — JUST LOOK AT ‘EM! Where a simple pair of thin, cotton socks used to cling, now lie thick sheepskins full of fluff, fluff to keep my tootsies toasty. [...]
