The First Day Of Preschool And Mama Is Freaking Out…

The Diva, my precious {And precocious} baby girl, starts her very first ever day of preschool in 9 hours and 30 minutes. I am freaking out! What if she gets scared and cries for us? What if the teacher or other kids think she’s weird? OY! Yes, I am nervous as hell. I have no […]

{My} Labor Day….

I know most of you see Labor Day as the official end of Summer and the start of the new school year. Or as just another 3-day week-end where you can barbecue with friends and family. But I am now seeing it as something else entirely. Everyone gets a day off from work. Week-ends, holidays, […]

This past Tuesday, I took The Diva down for her first ever school physical. Even though she had her yearly physical in March, the school district needed some “extras” including a urine dip, TB test, complete blood panel, blood lead test and an iron level. I even got her to pee in the cup. Want […]

Sensitive Child Or Hall Monitor?

My daughter , I think, is destined to become a hall monitor. She regularly opens the living room window and yells at the neighbor kids to get out of the street. She yells at people to stop honking their horns, a regular occurrence in our neck of the woods. For some reason, no one can […]

Who’s Acid Tripped, Mushroom Fueled Idea Was This?

Have any of you seen this children’s show, Oobi? Do any of you get it? My daughter is being entertained by hand puppets. Nekkid hand puppets. That sort of talk. And sing. It’s like Teletubbies for 4 year olds. Except…not. This show just freaks me out. They wear little plastic googly eyeball rings as a […]

Surreal-ity, An Earthquake And A Little Horny Dog

Things The Diva Said…{Or Did}

I was on the phone with my best friend Carol a couple of weeks ago, walking through the kitchen, when The Diva came up to me and said “Mommy? What is compensation?” Ummm, huh? I heard Carol Ann fall out of her chair, because she was laughing so hard, as I tried to explain compensation…to […]
