Here is my free-flowing account of the Stop the War/Impeach Bush protest held on Saturday in DC. You can read Salon’s coverage here. I really appreciated the opportunity (and knowing about it beforehand) so that I could do something. I’ve been feeling so powerless lately that shouting for a day made me feel better. Having […]

It’s my favorite time of the year.
Kevin twittered that the world was upside down because he wasn’t playing fantasy football this year but I am. Ha. Today is my first game. (We’re being fashionably late.) Here are my starters, for now:\ Marc Bulger, QB, St Louis\ Torry Holt, WR, St Louis\ Santana Moss, WR, Washington\ Joseph Addai, RB, Indianapolis\ Laurence Maroney, […]
I’m home.
I made it back from the protest march safe and sound. Kevin put up some pictures on flickr. Go to the “photos” link above and clicky.\ The experience was interesting and great and sad and frustrating.\ CNN has some pictures up: Number six is my favorite as it shows what I felt. I couldn’t see […]
My imaginary sign reads, “Impeach Bush Now!!”
I am goin’ protesting tomorrow! Wish me luck that I don’t get lost on my way to the meeting point. What does one wear to a protest?\ Kevin and the boys bailed on me. I am really disappointed too. I was hoping this could be a great family experience, but the boys got a better […]
I’m stealing the Cheers and Jeers idea
Cheers to this awesome \$30 rug. \$30!! I couldn’t believe the price and it looks fabulous in my house. I am sort of afraid to use it though, because the kids are only going to mess it up. I have actually been thinking about getting a second one as a backup.\ Cheers to the Redskins […]
Brothers- Two Stories
Last night Max and Brian slept in the same bed, as they sometimes do. A few minutes after being tucked in, Kevin and I heard Max crying. He gets sad at night and frequently cries (a story for another time), so we weren’t alarmed or surprised. Before we could get up to the bedroom, Brian […]
YAY for the small bits of happiness.
Brian went peepee in the potty today, of his own volition! That was the big triumph of the day.\ How was your day?
TGIF!!
I’m super tired and have heartburn for the fifth time this week, but it’s Friday. YAY!\ Kevin and I are gathering friends and family to attend our first protest; I guess we really are hippies now: ‘End the War’ March on Washington on September 15. Who else wants to go?
This is me!
Just substitute chocolate for the wine: Come home, Daddy!\ I can handle the kids the first 90% of the time Kevin is gone. Once that anticipation of Kevin coming home hits me, I am done for. If he is just at work, then I start to lose it around 4 pm. If he is gone […]
Big Brother Spoilers Below!
I’ve joked in the past about being a bad mom, a bad friend, maybe even a bad wife. Tonight, I come to you humbly to admit, with no reservation or joking, that I am truly a bad, bad person: I LOVE BIG BROTHER! Kevin’s all sad and thinks it is a train-wreck of a show […]
