Ghosts

My daughter asks lots of questions about death and what’s real and what’s not. She’s nearly 9 (wtf?!) and I’m not totally sure what her fascination is with death. I think it’s just a phase kids go through. She has seen pets die, she has heard stories of family that is no longer with us… […]

Petpalooza

Pets. It’s a moving, morphing, background, foreground situation. I was raised with all manor of pets between myself, my mom and my two brothers. We had it all at one point or another, and funny enough, I have no idea what really happened to most of them. We had mice, rats, snakes, lizards, a chicken, […]

Workin’ Probs

I’ve been back to work now for two months – or in public school lingo, 1 paycheck. This morning I woke up with a sinus headache that radiated across my entire head and caused me to eventually ralph. That hasn’t happened in a long time, and the most frequent occurred when I lived in Austin, […]

Out Of Nowhere Talks

Spring Breaking Ma’ Brain

Happy Spring, y’all!! What a whirlwind the last month has been. After recovering from an abominable amount of snow days (ha, see what I did there?!) we slid into parent/teacher conferences and then our epic Spring Break Road Trip. And it was a trip. Conferences were … predictable. I found out less than a week […]
