Saturday Shout-Out

So as I mentioned previously, Kvetch had a wonderful idea to give some love to some of the ladies not attending Blogher this weekend.

I immediately thought of Wordgirl.

This is a woman who is a true writer, in the best sense of the word. She has some of the most entertaining and yet thoughtful posts out there, in my opinion. She has a great sense of humor, as well as being able to write some of the most perfectly structured sentences I have ever seen on the internet.

She is an artist, the only estrogen in a testosterone-fueled household, as well as being a wise and kind soul. And as long as you can stand references to ancient artists like Steely Dan and Peter Frampton, you'll be fine. (Ack, please don't kill me, Wordgirl, I was just joking there. Really!)

If you have never been to her snazzy new digs, I highly suggest you do so now. You won't be sorry.

Unless you are a big fan of Tom Cruise, and then, well then you might have a bit of a problem.

Fallen Between the Cracks

Why did I stop writing here? With the grace of 20/20 hindsight, there were a LOT of reasons. My daughter's journey would get tougher and tougher, and as I added work into the mix of raising two kids, it was one more thing I just didn't have time for. And well, that work thing.  It sure does suck a lot of free time away, doesn't it?  Even though I am still only part time. I will be honest, as much as I adored all the people on the blogosphere that were kind enough to grace me with their wit and time, I just could not keep up with the constant commenting that I felt was only fair to these wonderful people.   So instead, what did I do? I did what any self respecting coward would do. I ghosted, of course. Not that I think my absence was enough to cause people to be distressed, but I feel badly if anyone felt slighted. Even as I write this, I feel like I am being waaaay too self important.  Isn't that the whole point of a blog, though?  Nobody writes a blog that doesn't

Onward

The end of the school year, finally! Did I tell you that my son went to public school this past year? Did I tell you that my daughter was in a regular Kinder classroom this year? Although it was nice to have them both in school, there were definitely things I was not so hip on, such as having to wake up at 5:20 every morning just to get everyone out the door on time.  And then after all the driving and dropping off, going to work. Such fun! I had forgotten the dreariness of having to complete mounds and mounds of homework (even though new research has shown that homework, especially for Kinder, is for shit).  Of constant deadlines and fundraisers and things I am supposed to volunteer for. My daughter had a good year, but was definitely not without its bumps. Her teacher, an older, highly experienced, practical woman with a Master's in Education, kept referring to my daughter as an "inclusion student."  It wasn't her name or just "student" but was

Friday Poll

Because Friday night is our "movie night" at home and we order pizza and eat it on the couch whilst watching G-rated fare with Mr. P, I have to ask: What is your must-have pizza topping? What is one topping you would never eat?
