I’m having one of those days where I want to chuck it all and escape.
I’d take the kids and husband with me - leave the house, the dogs and most of our things. Escape to a tropical isle where we’d RENT a bungalow on the beach. I’d never vacuum again.
I had the carpets cleaned on […]

Friends and relatives of mine go to see Watchmen on opening night. In an audience composed of adults and young adults, the lone 6 year old sticks out like a sore thumb. He is attending with his mother.
So who watches the Watchmen? Apparently, kindergardeners.
Despite my best efforts, I still curse in front of my kids. […]

During each of my pregnancies I mentioned having extremely painful, arthritis-type pain in my hip area/leg joints to my doctor or mid-wife. Each of them responded with a thoughtful head tilt and claimed to have never heard this complaint from anyone else before. Sh’yah right! As with so many pregnancy related discomforts, I got a […]

I hate the word “hapa”.
Wiki says that in Hawaiian “hapa is strictly defined as: a portion, fragment, part, fraction, installment; to be partial, less”.
Also - “hapa is often taken to mean “part white”, and is short hand for “hapa haole” and “while the terms haole and popolo are no more inherently derogatory than white or […]
How does our country still manage to be shocked (shocked!) when a physically healthy teenage girl with almost limitless means and minimal supervision manages to become pregnant?
I mean, people understand that Britney and Jamie Lynn were, in fact, parented by the same set of people, right?
Does anyone remember that Britney Spears (who as far as […]
This kind of thing is a crazy, unfortunate mishmash of shoddy policing and conflicting cultural expectations. I can imagine, all too clearly, the confusion and dawning horror the blog’s author must’ve experienced as he was being dragged down to the police station. It sucks.
It also reminds me of another hilarious incident of mayhem involving The […]
“…Women won’t have babies - because they’re not eco friendly”
Abortion to save the environmenr? Talk about selfish! Doesn’t she know there are starving children in Irela…er, I mean - Africa?
No really, I couldn’t be happier that these idiots have decided not to reproduce. Brava.

My husband, the kids and I (sans Mitten, who was at school) were grocery shopping. Toot was riding in the yellow plastic car affixed to the front of what can only be described as “the most unwieldy shopping cart of all time”. Daddy was pushing her. I was holding The Boy. When we got in […]
There is nothing like waking up to a block to block manhunt to really set the tone for the day. I can confidently say that caffeine becomes quite unnecessary after a receiving an email from your child’s school informing you that because an armed robbery has taken place around the block from your house, said […]
Last Friday, in a flurry of last minute baby shower activity, I took Toot and The Boy to Cost Plus World Mart to look for a hallway mirror. Our mission successful, we were on our way to the register when we walked past a middle-aged Asian woman. We noted each other politely, the way all […]
Welcome to my neglected little website. I haven't been updating regularly for a while now so read the old stuff. It's good, I swear!
