Comments: 6 | Categories: About Me , NaNoWriMo09 , This Mom thing , Too much going on
I went out with friends tonight - we were celebrating a birthday, a birthday that happened in EARLY DECEMBER, GAH - and we had our usual "I feel guilty about working!" and "I feel guilty about NOT working!" mommy angst...

I met a friend at a snooty Capitol Hill cafe yesterday, the kind of cafe where the baristas go to special barista camp and enter fancy espresso shot pulling contests and blah blah Seattle coffee snobbishness. Anyway, the coffee was...

December 1, 2009: Things I Learned From NaNoWriMo
Comments: 8 | Categories: NaNoWriMo09
At 11:20 pm on November 30 I clocked in at over 62,000 words, 113 pages. And I typed: THE END. I'm under no illusion that I wrote anything good. Trust me. And so many of you were so nice, all...

November 22, 2009: Blah blah self revelation time
Comments: 11 | Categories: About Me , NaNoWriMo09
It seems like everyone I know is training to run a half-marathon. It's entirely possible that most of these people are online and maybe Rebecca from The Biggest Loser talked about it during the obligatory drop-the-giant-pants-in-front-of-my-new-body at-home interview and maybe...

Comments: 15 | Categories: Cranky , Life with two , NaNoWriMo09 , This Mom thing

November 9, 2009: What might have been
Comments: 11 | Categories: NaNoWriMo09 , Phillip , What I want to be when I grow up
One side effect of writing 27,000 words about teenagers in 9 days (SO FAR!) is that you spend an awful lot of time thinking about being a teenager. Not just any teenager, mind you, but the teenager you once were....

Just got back from the volleyball team dinner where there were NINE small people running around ONE small house. OMG. Molly, miraculously and thankfully, was in a splendid mood and didn't do her usual Total Meltdown if anyone other than...

November 5, 2009: Seven really quick questions
Comments: 16 | Categories: NaNoWriMo09
1. Did you read my post at Parenting? No? Because my editors would LOVE IT if you did. 2. Be my Genius Playlist: if I like Taylor Swift, who else should I be listening to? And in this specific instance,...

November 3, 2009: Brought to you by stubborn determination to update the blawg no matter WHAT
Comments: 7 | Categories: Life with two , NaNoWriMo09
There are some days when I feel like a Successful Parent and then all the other days, by which I mean Pretty Much Every Single Day, when I wouldn't exactly recommend my parenting techniques. Like this morning when Molly was...
