The Husband didn’t put My Kid to bed on time.  She was still awake when I got home after the show and post show socializing late last night.  Needless to say, this mornings get-up-get-ready-get-out-the-door routine was fraught.

I will miss the NEW YORK DOWNTOWN CLOWN REVUE–somewhere I regularly go without My Kid…

SUCCESS!!! When will I learn that the less I do the funnier I am? …the less I TRY… So many people, that I know, came up to me afterwards and told me they didn’t recognize me until at least halfway through the show.

Well… there was this article that looked interesting; about mindful housework…  ”Karen Maezen Miler on how the domestic practice of ancient Zen masters can lead us to intimate encounters with our [...]

I just friended the boy who spit on me in 6th grade because he thought I was cute! (I thought he hated me!) Perhaps as the father of teenagers he will be able to explain to me what middle school looks from a parent’s perspective right before my own little girl takes the plunge.  OMG! [...]
