I’m drinking my fourth cider beer, Hal is in the kitchen making pesto for Bella and I, pasta with red sauce for Max, tempeh for himself and brocoli and yellow squash for all of us. Sinfield is on our TV making me laugh. The kids are playing and loving on me. Hal is [...]

Going to bed in the most comfortable bed imaginable.
Knowing that when I wake up at 2:30am, with a stinking case of insomnia, its not worry that keeps me up but too much daydreaming that I gotta get past so I can get some sleep.
Bella’s openness to trying new food. She ate Baby Bella’s last night [...]
Christmas – 2008′ You said it…
Posted in Family, Holidays, Manners on December 26, 2008 | 4 Comments »
This is the best Christmas day I ever had.
- Max
Christmas eve, traditionally, is spent at my in-laws house. The calendar had been X’d up to date in order to cue Max in on when festivities were due to begin. We spent most of the day at our own home, playing, baking wheat-free-vegan chocolate chip cookies [...]
“After the holidays,” apparently means, “post less often, enjoy life more.”

Sorry for the dramatic I’M TAKING A BREAK post. I think I just need to post less often ‘cuz I was getting too up in my head with all the writing I was doing.
I like to touch rainbows.

Hal and I have become quite seasoned when it comes to talking about things that once caused great [...]
Popping in to note something…
Posted in Uncategorized on December 18, 2008 | 2 Comments »
Words are building up in my head like hairballs in a bathroom sink. I guess that’s just what happens when life is lived without recording. One part of my brain clogs. I have to flush it out every-now-and-then.
As each moment comes and goes, I remind myself to stop narrating life and just live it. This [...]

Dear Blog,
House in order – check. Hal cleaned up downstairs and I should be able to handle cleaning the upstairs area in small increments throughout the day.
Max is at school, Bella and I have been playing all morning, and the house is being very patient as she continues to wait for my attention.
I’m going to [...]
And to all a good day.

Feeling like today is a Saturday. Hal is home, Wall-E, is on the TV (in Blu-Ray, baby), our tummies are full with salad and lentils, and I’m at the computer munching on some seriously fucking divine chocolate gifted to me by Hal for my birthday. Chocolate that is SO GOOD its making me cum. Hal [...]
About that shame and guilt…
Posted in Sicky on December 5, 2008 | 2 Comments »
Writing about guilt and shame turned out to be really productive. The “meaning of it all” dawned on me in the middle of the night. My shame and guilt has everything to do with my physical limitations. I hate feeling limited. I hate that I can’t knit because my stupid hands will start to hurt. [...]

So, I’ve had a pretty lazy, unproductive day week. The kind of week that I try to have at least, uuuh, every week. I’m pretty successful at it, clocking in at least a solid three lazy days, per week. My life is going to turn upside down once I start working outside the home. And [...]

I wanted to let everyone know, Hal has been the backbone in our family on vegan and vegetarian health and recently he found this: Dr. Fuhrman’s DHA Purity 100% Vegan for Bella and Max. He read that DHA Omega 3 can often help children with eczema (but the research needs to go further to prove [...]
