I type this with the handicap of one less finger this evening. Why, you may ask? Finger jam. How, you may ask? It's a long story.
Actually, it really is not, but that sounds better than the truth. The truth is, I am a walking magnet for minor injuries. A bonafide ...

My son got creative tonight with his vegetable eating. After eating a massive amount of green beans, he started playing with his food. And, to his amazement, he discovered they actually DO have little beans inside of them.

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.
