Prodigal Blogger

Yes, I’m back, at least briefly.  Life has been quite a whirlwind lately, what with racing here and there, but I thought I’d update y’all on some of what’s I’ve been doing: Working on all the millions of things that go along with being the parent of a 5th-almost-6th grader, including the yearbook, the graduation [...]

A Hell of a Day

8:05 am – Raced out the door, lunch boxes and homework in tow.  We were running a few minutes late, so I hadn’t had time to finish the dishes or even get a sip of coffee.  I figured I’d drop the kids off at school, go pray to the god of sweat for a while, [...]

My son bounced into my room this morning, sporting a giant grin. Son: “Do you notice what’s different, Mommy?” Me: “Um….you’re taller?” Son: *Laugh* “No.” Me: “Um…you still need to brush your hair for school?” (Moms can’t help being moms.) Son: “Nooooo.” Me: “Um…I don’t know.” Son: *Pointing to his pants* I grew. Me: “Err…” [...]

The. Last. Day. Of. Summer. *Long, thankful exhale* Don’t get me wrong – I adore sleeping in, when the weasels let me.  And I adore the blank, open days stretching before us, eager to be filled with wherever our whims will take us.  But I miss the sexy me…the one that exists when I get [...]

Back Soon

Tonight, probably late enough that it will technically be tomorrow, Kyle will get back from Florida. It’s been a REALLY long week. His phone decided, on the second day of his trip, that it was no longer willing to send me pictures, so he’s been emailing them to me in small batches every few days.  [...]

Just Desserts

The weasels and I were in the car again yesterday, driving over the hill towards the coast and listening to more Melissa Etheridge (yes, again.) Weasel #2:  Is that Alyssa Beverage? Weasel #1:  Melissa Eth-errrr-idge. Weasel #2:  Oh, right. The conversation went on to one of them asking about the boy she was singing about, [...]

Very Good Shirt

Yesterday I was wearing a new shirt I found at Cafe Press that says “Love = Love, Period.” with rainbow people in a line: My son, armed with his new vocabulary, jumped into my lap and pointed to each pair: “Gay… nothing… lesbian!” He was very proud of himself. I smiled, stifled a giggle, and [...]

Anything but Kissing

I was looking at my pictures from the Dyke March this morning with my son: Son:  What’s the boy version of gay? Me:  Um…gay. Son:  So what’s the girl version? Me:  Lesbian Son:  Lesbian.  Right. *Looking at more pictures* Me:  And bisexual means you like everyone.  I’m a bisexual. Son:  *Smiling*  I’m a bisexual, too!  [...]

Confusing

I often wonder what the world looks like to a 7-year-old.  Every now and again I get a glimpse into how confusing it can sometimes be: ******* Weasel #2:  “Mom, what’s Pride?” Me:  “It’s a big celebration when everyone who’s gay, and everyone who has a friend or a sister or a brother or a [...]

Tahrd

I am what my love Kyle would call “tahrd” – exhausted beyond my means and walking around like a zombie while my life swirls around me like the ghosts at the end of Raiders of the Lost Ark.   Just last night I was up late helping a past student of mine with logarithms and systems [...]
