So, yeah

June 27, 2011

I’d like to say that I’m rocking this temporary SAHM thing. But I’m totally not. This is about as natural to me as peeing standing up and not having it run down my leg. Which is to say it’s just not natural at all. And today was not fantastic. At all. Not even a little […]

When you can’t just say no

June 22, 2011

I read a syndicated post on BlogHer today that has just kind of stuck in my head all afternoon. It discusses working moms who are chasing that elusive thing called “Work-life balance.” The author of that post tells a couple of anecdotes about women who chose, or were perhaps forced to choose, work over life. […]

Oh, hi

June 5, 2011

I’ve had a serious case of bloggy ADD this weekend. I’ve come here no less than 10 times, stared at the screen, and then closed the computer and walked away. In short? I’ve had nothing to say. Or? I’ve had lots to say and then deemed those things unimportant and mundane. So? I haven’t said […]

Oh my god, people, I’M A MOM

May 31, 2011

Sometimes it just hits me completely out of the blue that I am someone’s mother. I AM SOMEONE’S MOTHER, PEOPLE. This should come as a totally not shocking revelation to me as I vividly remember his forcible removal from my uterus and have the stretch marks and scar as proof of his former status as […]

Before and after

May 25, 2011

Wednesday afternoon. WEDNESDAY. AFTERNOON. (Do you know why I’m excited? Because the school year is nearly done. I have almost survived. Sanity in tact. Mostly.) So who’s on the docket now? Why, another working mama who understands the pressure of a deadline and high heels. Blair was at the rally last year, fresh after taking […]

Help is the hardest word to say

May 23, 2011

This next post in the rally is one that is super special to me. Lara isn’t a blogger. She isn’t on Twitter. She’s an in-real-life friend. Lara and I met in college through our campus ministry, Chi Alpha. She and I were in the same small group and almost became roommates, but then I bought […]

Heavy sighs

May 12, 2011

That’s pretty much all I’ve got. Just lots and lots of heavy sighs. This week has been just not great. In fact, it’s been a series of punches to my guts. And there’s still tomorrow to go before it’s “over.” And 10 more days after that. So I’m left here with so little TO say […]

Mewed up to my heaviness

May 9, 2011

There is so much I want to say here. So much I want to just pour on this page and out of my heart. So many tears that are in my throat and stuck right behind my eyes. Tears that won’t come. Tonight my mind is full. Bursting with thoughts, mostly negative. Many sad. My […]

Sometimes, I don’t suck–SMCS

May 7, 2011

Okay, so this isn’t a “mommyhood” confession, but I’ve been trying to get this post written for a week now and no dice. Other things have gotten in my way. That’s cool and all, but it’s time for me to tell y’all that while I suck at some things, I know I don’t suck at […]

I talk too much–Secret Mommyhood Confession

April 23, 2011

Anyone who knows me in real life should not be shocked by the title of this confession. Truly. (I’m looking at you, Dan.) I talk. A lot. All the time in fact. My Mama says I shot from the womb talking. In kindergarten, I was sent home with a little note that said “Miranda is […]
