Our place at the table: Contributor

That word still pings around in my head. Contributor. I’m a contributor, failure; I’m unambitious, lazy, selfish. These, and many others, I have been called for being a stay at home mom. You’d think moms would have this amazing thread tying them together, something so much bigger than us that binds us all in some … Continue reading →

Queen of Three, and Me.

Where to begin an angry rant that made you google ‘fuck you’ songs? I’ll tell you where I won’t begin. I won’t begin by saying: “First of all, I just love my life. My children are everything to me, and everyday I wake up to the shrill call of Momma my heart grows a bit … Continue reading →

A Day in the Mind of Millennial

Being a millennial is lying awake at night thinking, “Oh shit, the bees! The bees are dying and if they die, we die. I have to do something about it!” It’s getting out my phone and researching what I can do to help save the bees. It’s waking up my husband and asking him if … Continue reading →

Who’s the master here?

As most of you know, my blog is anonymous. I’ve never and will never connect my name to it. I have on occasion, however, told some friends about it (3) and allowed people to read particular articles from it, not knowing that they were mine. For those of you following longer than others, you’ll remember … Continue reading →

Sometimes I come off as a patient person. Part 2

As a Mom, I should add ‘or energy’ to this title. So, I’ve planned a whole trip to visit you because you don’t drive and you don’t want to come to my hotel and instead want me to take my baby on an hour train ride to drag him around to museums because you hate … Continue reading →

It’s the little things

I’m built to be a nit-picker Wired that way. I don’t mean to be critical, Just to be sensitive to how others may feel. When you say: She’s black, but I just love her. I know you don’t mean anything by it, But It sounds like being black is a barrier to being loved in … Continue reading →

Sometimes I come off as a patient person…

I’m not. Don’t “like” it when I post a picture like this,  then start an argument with me. If you don’t like it, don’t “like” it. I don’t have time for that shit. If we’ve discussed it before at length and come to the agreement that we’ll never agree, don’t start with me again. I … Continue reading →

It’s Obama’s fault!!!

It’s Obama’s fault that CT has changed their gun laws and no longer allow people to carry/own magazines above 10 rounds. It’s Obama’s idea that a union in TN has petitioned for a Muslim holiday off because that’s how Sharia law is being forced on us. It’s Obama’s fault that your insurance company won’t pay … Continue reading →

My Mom, the Addict Version.

She’s turning in circles and talking constantly about something we can’t understand. She’s constantly apologizing. She’s saying the same things over and over. She’s talking to herself continuously. She’s slurring her speech. She’s taking everything the wrong way. She’s whining. She’s nagging. She’s insecure and unbelievably annoying. I’m growing a human being. Soon I’m going … Continue reading →

The War on Christmas in a Kindergarten Classroom

“Well I saw the real Santa and he’s white.” One kid told another while they were coloring Santa’s skin on a worksheet. The other child had colored Santa’s skin brown and I’d smiled to myself and thought, “See Megan Kelly, kid’s don’t care what color Santa’s skin is.” How wrong I was. The commenting kiddo … Continue reading →
