Exhibit A: My almost 11-year-old holding the biggest squash family relative that I have ever seen in my life.
Exhibit B: His little sister, not to be outdone, decided to cradle hers ...

I have had a series of harsh realizations slap me in the face over the past few weeks. I feel about 10 years older than I did just a month ago, actually. I am learning that many times you can think you know someone, and you can take the time ...

I've been addicted to ellipses lately in my blog titles. Trying to break that pattern with this one!
------------------
Growing up, I wouldn't call myself a daredevil. In fact, I was pretty predictable and safe whenever possible. I'd can still say, I'll never jump out of an airplane or hook myself to ...

I have often thought, there should be some kind of blog police that monitor writers and can suspend your blog on occasion if you get too depressing or hormonal. Because, really, why should unsuspecting readers have to be brought down by it all, I ask you?
Granted, I get the argument ...

I look down at it a lot.
The fourth finger of my left hand.
It feels naked.
I even have moments where I still feel a rush of, "Oh, no! Have I lost it?" Or, "Where on Earth did I leave it?"
For almost 18 years the ring took up residence on my hand, ...

I've had an interesting development recently. That is that I think my blog is being read. That fact, in itself is of interest to me because I have managed to move around and lose most every regular reader aside from a few beloved ones in the past few years. But, ...

One of my favorite things about writing on my blog is that, typically when I am writing, I am also reading other blogs more frequently. My blog love cup runneth over during these times. Unfortunately, I have so many favorite blogs that have faded or disappeared over the years. But, ...

...and she loved to write. It was an outlet. Through happy times, funny times, and even for her most bizarre and random thoughts.
Then, one day, the girl discovered something called Facebook. And, all her random and bizarre thoughts that she used to build blog posts from became short statuses. She ...

My daughter just turned six-years-old. She is a bright and happy girl with a wonderful disposition. It is not uncommon for parents of her friends to comment to me that they've never seen a frown on her face, or anything less than her beaming smile. It is truly one of her ...

In some ways, I'm a walking cliche--a suburban mommy blogger of two kids just trying to keep my crazy yet wonderful life in balance. But, I'm also a career writer who has just returned to fulltime work in the software industry, I'm a wife going through a divorce after almost 20 years of marriage, and I'm discovering that life is full of surprises.
