What IS that scent you’re wearing?
So…
We take a last minute flight to Florida to see Hot Nerd’s very ill grandmother. We rush to board the doggies, pack ourselves up haphazardly, wake up at 3am, apologize to the sleepy toddler as we shove milk into his hands and hightail it to LAX.
Dear 2009,
Dear 2009,
It seems weird to do this in a letter, but I can’t think of any other way to do it. I need to tell you that it is over between us. I think it has been over for a very long time. I was trying to stick it out, I don’t know why- maybe just to prove that I could. But all that did was bring me more pain and sorrow.

Happy Birthday To Me.
Today is my birthday. Birthday’s are different once you get older, get married, and become a parent. I have two loads of laundry waiting for me. I have to pack for our holiday trip, and the floor desperately needs a good mopping. Not to mention, Bam Bam just dumped the dog’s water bowl out onto the kitchen floor- not kidding, gotta go…
The Show Must Go On.
Today’s post is a guest post at The Chronicles of Sharnia.
Sharni Montgomery is a slightly crazy (in the best ways) Aussie Mum, who invited me to be a guest blogger on her burgeoning site. I live in Los Angeles, she lives in a town with one horse- it’s like kismet.
Knowing my background as an actor, she asked me to write a post about how parenting is like acting… I know, crazy, right?
Well, maybe not so much….

The Smoke Detector That Broke The Camel’s Back.
There is only so much a person can take.
Human beings (yes, mommies too) are fragile, as much as we don’t like to admit it. We disregard this fact. We push it deep down and pretend to be super heroes. We call it “necessity”, because after all, someone needs to take care of the house, feed the family, change the diapers, walk the dogs, keep the doctor appointments, buy the groceries, enforce nap times, wipe the noses, do the laundry, do the ironing, schedule the play dates, and generally keep the world spinning.
Longest weekend ever. aka- If the Swine Flu were a person, I would stab him in the eye.
I guess I must be Super Woman. Who knew?
The longest weekend ever began on Thursday.
Bam Bam had been sick all week, but I had managed to keep pretty healthy… until Thursday morning. I woke up with a splitting headache, sore throat, and some sort of strange, unproductive hack. I chose to ignore the ickiness I was feeling, and pretend to be healthy. I needed the energy to wrestle my son, and force the dreaded blue suction bulb up his nose.
May the fires end soon.
Okay, this is a post that I wrote four years ago on an old Blogger site. I only posted for a few months, but it was a transitional time for me. I was in a very dark place, and rarely found joy or beauty in the world around me.
My husband needs to grow a pair.
My hubby is a dynamo at work. He’s a go- getter, a hard worker, and a highly organized machine. He’s being promoted in an economy where people are being laid off.
At home . . . Hot Nerd is a helpless puppy.
