• Being an adult

    Being adult means getting up and getting stuff done. Chores, raising the kids, work, social things–all of it. I have had the boy home 2 weeks now and even as I type, he’s asleep on the couch. He may be…

  • Moving on

    I can’t talk about or think about Sandy Hook today. It’s too much. It’s a self-defense mechanism, to be honest. I’ve been struggling a lot lately to keep my head above water, and so, today, I’m focusing on what I…

  • Sandy Hook

    I’m not going to talk a lot about this. I’m heartbroken. For the parents, for families, for the town, and for the American people. That this could happen here. That is could happen again and again. Who are we as…

  • More hours!

    There aren’t enough hours in the day. Or I move too freaking slowly. And I’m tired from last week. All the same, I’m also prepped for tomorrow’s class. Oh, and I started a new block today. Doing a 20th century…

  • eye roll so hard they may get lost in my brain

    There’s this new article up on Fox News, called The War On Men. It’s written by Suzanne Venker. I want to read it as satire, but there’s absolutely no sign that it is anything but a serious discussion of what’s…
