Saturday started out pretty rough.
Words for a writer are like paint for a painter and wood for a carpenter. Heart and Soul would rot of death if they had no access to the written word. Had I been stricken with this awful disease before typewriters graced the tips of calloused fast fingers, if I had [...]

Day 3: “I would hurl words into this darkness and wait for an echo, and if an echo sounded, no matter how faintly, I would send other words to tell, to march, to fight, to create a sense of hunger for life that gnaws in us all.”

My body is not doing well. It could be the way I eat. It could be because Bella is nursing less and this causes my hormones to shift and decrease, having an effect on my joints. It could be because I have gained a lot of weight and this agitates my joints. It could be [...]
Sometimes, you gotta leave your children with someone else… to see a movie.

First conversation when I [just barely] opened my eyes this morning:
Max {hovering over me with a sense of urgency in his voice, whispering loudly}: Mom… MOM!
Me {groggy}: Whah?
Max {still, in a strong whisper}: YOUR bathroom is DISGUSTING!
Me {as if it were my dad telling me}: Oh, I know. I guess I [...]

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 [...]
Food for thought.

I’ve decided to eat vegan for health reasons (the ethical reasons no longer have the same motivating affect on me as they did when I was in my early 20’s, and I’m so out of practice that eating this way is hard). I made it to the fourth day, Thursday. I hit a food wall [...]

The other night when Hal came home from work, he did an extra-special groping in honor of his attraction to me because I wear sweat pants and T-shirts. Apparently, business casual just doesn’t do it for my husband. He likes a women dressed in materials that grip her body in the most gawd-awful ways. The [...]
Being a veggie-girl, yet wanting to kill that cow and eat him up.

We are in the market for a new (to us) car. The process of looking and deciding is a mixture of fun and stress. Our price limit is $12,000.00. We can put down $4,000.00. We want the payments under $200.00/month. I think we’ll find something, eventually.
Currently, we drive a Hyundai Accent, 2002, for our “family [...]

Morning…
My friend, Katy, is coming over today with her two children who are roughly the same age as my two kids. It occurred to me this morning that having company is on the top of my list of motivators to clean the house. Its not that I fear judgment from my guests, its that I [...]

I think we may have avoided the poop collection party. Max went to school today and hasn’t had a diarrhea or vomit incident all day. Yay! As of yesterday, Bella’s food intake has been light so its possible she may have what-ever it was Max just got over. Oh, the joy.
Since Bella has been taking [...]
I get to play with poop!

I took Max to his pediatrician this morning for a second opinion on what is going on – mine being the first, which is that he has a parasite from that gum he found outside. Dr. Blanco agreed and also suggested it may be a virus that just needs to run its course. I [...]
