This Just Makes Me Want to Strangle Some Balls | On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from December 2008.

January 17, 2019

On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from December 2008. It's almost Christmas, and yet I'm still ranting on my blog. I know, I know. I should be posting a recipe or sharing a holiday craft or writing about something involving festivity and merriment instead of unloading about all the injustices in the world. But I just can't help myself. I tried to move on after yesterday's post. The kids were with grandma for the night, and I am still fighting a bug, so I curled up early on . . .

Wednesday’s Child: Colin

January 16, 2019

Every Wednesday I feature a child recently highlighted by a local Wednesday's Child newscast to share the stories of children from around the country who are waiting for a family. My hope is that this can broaden exposure for the children highlighted, but also serve as a reminder that these children represent thousands of children currently in the foster-care system. Perhaps their stories will inspire you to consider opening your home to a child needing a family. For more information and to . . .

When “not being in the mood” isn’t just a trivial circumstance

January 16, 2019

I've partnered with the #righttodesire campaign to bring awareness to female Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder The tropes and jokes about women rebuffing their partner's sexual advances are as old as women reaching for a glass of wine as soon as their kids go to bed. It's funny because it's familiar. And yet, women seem to sort of accept the idea that it's fine for their sexual appetite to be low . . . that not wanting sex as often as our partners is just the way we're wired. Obviously, . . .

BLACK DOLLS: special order only | On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from December 2008.

January 10, 2019

On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from December 2008. Some days, I think we are living in a new era, in a world that doesn't see color, in a world more and more like the one Martin Luther King dreamt about. And some days, I remember that we're not. There were a myriad of reminders about this for me today, most of which I can't really disclose on my blog. Let me just say this: in therapy, the filter comes off. And some people say stuff to me having no idea that I have an . . .

Life Lately

On my first flight ever on @flyfrontier. Please send up the prayer chain. Also there are two children behind me who are already playing “flip the tray table” which, listen, I get happens, but the mom has not corrected them once and so I did it and they stopped. ? When I say that all children are our children I mean that globally and politically but also on airplanes. ?   A huge thanks to @angellimousineoc for driving the boys around in style today (and for allowing me to drive . . .

Life Lately

June 4, 2018

After a nail-biting game India’s team is going for the championship! What a fun first soccer experience for her. Thank you @cleezy for encouraging this “non-sporty” girl to keep going! ?: @fmorton I guess the drywall guy decided my spendy @cb2 lamps needed some texture too. ?? So proud of India. Despite the fact that she’s “a non-sporty person” (her words), she participated in our city’s soccer tournament with her classmates and had a great time, and her team has advanced to . . .

Changing Direction

February 8, 2018

#TBT On Thursday's I post from the Vault. This post is from April 2005 We had our final appointment with my fertility doctor on Friday to discuss the implications that we have now had a third miscarriage. Bottom line, the doctor did not give us a lot of hope. In his opinion, the doctor thinks that there is a 70-100% chance that we will miscarry again with every subsequent pregnancy. (I like how the 100% was thrown in there as an option). Ultimately, we have had every test known to man, and . . .
