Why I can’t write, Part I
FVCK YEAH NABLOPOMO! WOO!
Hi. So. Day two of Nablopomo, introductory expositional post out of the way. Now the real writing begins.*
As I mentioned in my last post, I’m going to try blogging every day this month. This is because I do like to write. I like to smash words together and type them out with […]
More than words
Sorry so quiet. I kind of can’t believe how full my days are. I don’t have time to breathe, some days; I have to hire someone to do it for me, I guess. Might regret not contracting that one out.
Dawn til dusk, daily, I’m taking care of the kids, but they make it so worthwhile. […]
Twos and turkey
I remember when Owen was about two years old, his pediatrician sent him to get his growth plates X-rayed. He had just been in for a well-child checkup, and when she plotted his height and weight on the curve — well, it wasn’t a curve anymore, it was a straight line, and it was pointed […]
Welcome, Molly
I hope you’ll forgive the delay in announcing her arrival (I’ve been a little busy):
Please welcome to the planet Molly Margaret, who was born at 1:14 p.m. on September 20, weighing ten pounds and one ounce, and measuring 22 inches long.
We are all so psyched she’s here.
If you’re into birth stories (and if you’re anything […]
Wait, that’s not how that was supposed to go
Owen begins kindergarten today. And thanks to me, he almost missed the bus. How frustrating must it be for a punctual kid to be at the mercy of a chronically late mother?
He’s in afternoon kindergarten. The bus is supposed to arrive at 12:14. Last night we packed his school bag and hung it up by […]
Life with a boy five-year-old.
“Can I have an egg?”
“… um. Eggs are for cooking. What do you want an egg for?”
“Well, ninjas in the old days used to take an egg and poke holes in it with needles and blow out the insides and then fill it with broken glass to use for a weapon.”
“…”
“I PROMISE I wouldn’t throw […]
That bullet I just bit didn’t taste so bad
So we bought a minivan last week. Ay! It’s two years old, a trade-in from the Jaguar/Volvo/Land Rover dealership, which makes me laugh because that is the first and last time I will ever have cause to be on the grounds of a freaking Jaguar dealership. When we test-drove it it hadn’t even been detailed […]
Happy Three, my Mackadoodle
Cormac Louis, better known as Mackie, turned three today. Seems like only yesterday he was coaxed into the world nearly two weeks late and yelling about it.
Luckily for me, when he wasn’t yelling he slept very sweetly.
And I mean sweetly.
As he grew, his hair did too. I miss those baby curls.
Though maybe I let it […]
Breaking news: We’re having a —
Well, yes, a baby, but there’s more, hold your horses.
Actually, no, not breaking news. I think I broke this on Facebook. Or you could say it broke when I told my mother and my neighbor.
BUT life wouldn’t be right if I didn’t make a big fancy deal on my Actual Blog: We’re having a GIRL!
A […]
The etymologist and the entomologist
Owen, age 5, is poking me this morning, wanting to know why a goblin is called a goblin and why a witch is called a witch, why a werewolf is called a werewolf and a ghost a ghost. Apparently somebody let him watch a video called “Scooby Doo on Zombie Island.” I’m not pointing fingers, […]
keep looking »who’s there?
Oh hey you guys, it's me, Supa. Things I enjoy: talking on my bananaphone, being a nerd, writing, sewing, writing about sewing, giving my husband high-fives, playing Nintendo with my kids, playing with technological gadgetry, knitting, and reading decorating books. Did I write down nachos? Add that in there.
Follow me on Twitter! I'm occasionally funny there.recent flickr
