I missed my Katrina Anniversary post Friday.  Rest assured I did not forget. As Gustav bears down on the city I left, I find myself with too many thoughts and too few words to express them.  As I watch my friends leave again, some with babies in arms, and face the same return that I […]

Okay, I am a big enormous grump.  But the whole world doesn’t have to be that way. Dierdre and Martin are about to welcome their baby, Ginny, into the world.  Apparently, she’s been pretty eager to meet them, because it has been a struggle to keep her cooking for the recommended baking time.

My son, who has barely noticed my existence since his Mimi showed up to help out during my infirmity, picked this morning to suddenly decide that he simply could not handle his life without his mommy. While I had been feeling a bit cut out, and can’t say the newfound attention is entirely unwanted, the […]

Her Bad Mother is one of my favorite bloggers. She has taken a sabbatical recently, and has had a series of guest bloggers. While I miss her writing, the coolest thing about one of your favorite bloggers showcasing some of HER favorite bloggers is that you get to find new favorite blogs – like Black […]
