Bad Mom Day

October 1, 2009

Today was NOT a good mom day. Don’t worry. I don’t hold myself up to unrealistic high expectations. I have set rather low expectations. But, I think I fell even below my low expectations. You know, if you have very little patience BEFORE you have a kid, I’m pretty sure that I don’t magically get [...]

Yea, what the hell am I really doing?

September 30, 2009

Yea, so I obviously have no idea what I am doing these days. Here I start a blog and then I just stop. Not sure why. Not sure I had anything really do say. Not that life is going pretty well. But, I’m sort of in a weird void. I’m reading lots of blogs and [...]

How to Feel 10 Years Younger without Botox

August 20, 2009

Last week I realized that I feel better at almost 39 than I did ever in my 20′s. Here is my non-Glamour magazine approved list of how to feel instantly younger without Botox or Spanx. (I can’t wear tight Spanx. I’m claustrophobic and I feel like a sausage. But, I wish I could include them [...]

I’ve been in a fog. I’ve been angry. I’ve been nasty. I’ve been lonely. I’ve been ambivalent about my future. I’ve been anxious. I’ve been borderline depressed. I’ve been waiting to get the hell out of this phase. How long have I been here? I know I’ve been ANGRY since my son was born. We [...]

Everything seems to be breaking!

Happy Diet Coke in Park

I  just noticed a little trend. Little things seem to be breaking all around. My watch battery stopped a few weeks ago, which is no big deal. So, I took it to the shop. Then they called and said, “Ms. Anderson, that will be $500 because it is completely missing the little crank thing (they [...]

Celebrate Your Son’s Birthday at Hooters

August 3, 2009

Wow…doesn’t that sound fun. Would you take your 13 year-old son a lunch at Hooter’s as his 13th Birthday gift? One of my Facebook ‘friends’, a girl from my hometown who I worked with years ago, posted announcements that her husband was taking their son to Hooters. I sort of thought that was weird. And, [...]

Find Your Money Honey!

July 28, 2009

I’m of the general opinion that I will know when someone owes me money and I’ll chase them until they pay me. But, recently, I got a strange letter in the mail. Some random law firm in California said that I had $2300 in unclaimed wages from my old employer in California from 2000. Stupidly, [...]

July 27, 2009

I’ve said before that I’m not a great house cleaner. As much as I love Martha, I am incapable of channeling her. But, I do like to PUT AWAY stuff. The floor might be covered in crumbs, but I hate stacks of stuff. Even when they are staring at me and mocking me. Now, I [...]

Operation “Get My Ass in Gear” 10 Day FollowUp

July 23, 2009

Sorta weird. Writing a blog post full of angst with some semi-conscious planning about how to get my ass in gear. AKA How to get out of my rut. Since I wrote that, my parents came into town, I’ve been knee deep in our home remodel (details to follow), cleaned up a little projectile vomit [...]
