My Little Girl Has a Crush

Paige has seemingly developed a crush for this little boy in our neighborhood. As her mother, I would have probably just shrugged it off IF the boy were even remotely adorable, but he's not. And that is the understatement of the year. The poor little boy has not seen a bucket of water in days!  He's dirty.  He's often walking barefoot and he is always, always buck naked! Yep, his little twiggy is wagging for all the world to see. ...

Single and Fabulous!

En Route to Alcoholism Lane

I still feel like shit. Maybe my friend is right, I should just go right ahead and change the title of this blog to Rants of Oregano Addict. My life isn't really miserable like I said. It's just that I haven't been sleeping well. Oh, I do sleep, but for the life of me I can't sleep for more than 5-6 hours!  I don't function well when I don't sleep for at least 8 hours.  I turn into a first-class bitch first-class depressed bitch. Anyway,...

Say It Again and Again!

One thing I've learned about being a mother is that shouting doesn't work.  Often, Paige would cower, simper and cry when I fail to control my temper and end up shouting at her for something she did.  Over the years, I've learned other disciplinary tactics. For instance, when Paige pretends she can't hear me, forcing me to shout her name over and over again before she'd respond, I would usually ask her to cover her ears.  She'd...

Dilemma

I have been plagued with this freaking dilemma for the last couple of months. I had a plan, a good one.  It would have been easier if things happened exactly the way I planned.  Uh, no.  Au contraire, fate has been playing jokes on me, one after another. Damn it. I knew this wouldn't be easy, but fate is making it even harder.  I am having difficulty getting out of my comfort zone.  With all these curveballs, folding in a fetus position and staying inside this box is preferable to all the uncertainties I am getting. Darn...

Flinch by Alanis Morissette

Now, this one is for you, my dear dear friend. Soon, you will grow up and you will not flinch at the mention of his name. :)   What's it been over a decade? It still smarts like it was four minutes ago We only influenced each other totally We only bruised each other even more so What are you my blood? You touch me like you are my blood What are you my dad? You affect me like you are my dad How long can a girl be shackled to you How long before my dignity is reclaimed How long can a girl stay haunted by you Soon...

Holdin On And Letting Go by Ross Copperman

Is anybody out there? Is anybody listening? Does anybody really know if its the end of the beginning? The quiet rush of one breath Is all we're waiting for Sometimes the one we�re taking Changes every one before.. [Chorus] It's everything you wanted, it's everything you don't It's one door swinging open and one door swinging closed Some prayers find an answer Some prayers never know We're holding on and letting go Sometimes we're holding angels And we never even know Don't know if we'll make it, ...

Happy New Year?

I swore I wouldn't write anything, but after watching How I Met Your Mother, I finally gave in.  I don't believe in New Year's resolutions. I believe, however, that New Year makes you introspective.  The turn of the year makes you want to sit down and take a good look at where your life is going.  This new year scares me.  Everything is all up in the air. Should I take the bar exam or not? Should I pursue teaching this year...
