this was not the year i thought it would be.
i am older, definitely. wiser, perhaps. exhausted from our ups and downs and hopeful for what is to come.
maybe tomorrow, i’ll be back here with tales of surprises and hidden delights, until then…the sky is my favorite color of blue and the moon has arrived in the shape of a smile. it’s cool outside.
i’ve spent time, as my birthday looms large,...
wonderdad says it’s almost time for the big feast. which is excellent news, since i’m so hungry, i’m about to eat one of the kids.

b would like everyone to know that my present ISN’T the clipboard. it’s UNDER the clipboard. she gets the clipboard back when this party is over.
since we don’t have the girls tomorrow on my birthday, our little family is celebrating tonight. b and wonderdad have commandeered our neighbor’s kitchen (he is out of town) and are making a feast. good thing i haven’t eaten all day.

wonderdad: there are so many nice places to live that don’t have tornadoes. like California. They should live here. we have earthquakes, sure, but it’s...
reason #902 why I love him
wonderdad has been baking my birthday cake. two days in advance. He just walked it next door to put it in our neighbor’s fridge. while NOT WEARING PANTS.
if you have champagne at home, you should chill some. I have an announcement in a little while.
and no. wonderdad and I aren’t getting married.
my apologies if I am difficult this week.
reading many posts about the scourge of Monday. I am very sorry for those of you suffering through it. But, for me? IT’S FRIDAY!!!!
turnabout is fair play.
one of our children just uttered the phrase: too much melted butter on French toast is gross.
finally, FINALLY, it is appropriate to say: she’s not my child.
the fireworks, shot out of canons on the queen mary, heralding the end of pride weekend (how’s that for a metaphor?) just started outside our window. i told the girls they could get up and watch them.
a few minutes in, b says: we should probably get back to bed.
only child in the world who sees fireworks and thinks, “meh. i’d rather sleep.”

it sounds less fun when you remember you are separated by work and miles from your friends and you’re in the middle of untold ridiculousness at work so...

Rosas, 18, had seen anonymous bullies send the girl hurtful messages on Tumblr, a social networking website where she kept her blog. Then, one afternoon, it happened. On May 6, the 16-year-old girl, who Rosas knew only through the Tumblr site, threatened to commit suicide in an…

I had a remarkably good day at work. so, i’m taking the family out to dinner to celebrate.
any news report that begins, “the German government says that if Justin Beiber wants his monkey back…” is a guaranteed channel change.
heading into my office finale blackout now. see you in a few hours.
wake up call
i woke up to a wonderful email this morning … my piece debuted in my sweet friends’ class today at the living well. it was very exciting. and scary. but all the best things are.
