Things I’ll Never Say

Toulouse — Wed, 06 Mar 2013 14:45:20 +0000

As we’ve discussed before, I’m not a big talker. That’s probably why I sit behind my computer just tippy-typing all day long. That way, I get to say whatever I want and I only have to say it once. Geez, I hate repeating myself. I hate it so much that If I had the time, […]

The Unexpected Kindergartener

Toulouse — Mon, 20 Aug 2012 15:43:08 +0000

I almost put a little somethin’ something’ in my coffee this morning. By the time I took my first caffeinated sip, I had already been to my son’s new school, left him sitting all by himself in a big room and had an emotional breakdown while driving home. I’m sure sending your 5-year-old off to […]

Stop Talking About It

This morning, while in the bathroom washing my face, I overheard this exchange between father and 4-year-old son: “Take off your pajama pants and put on your jeans.” Followed by various animal and other unintelligible noises and the sounds of pattering feet. “Here, take these and put them on — we’re gonna be late for […]

Stand and Deliver

Toulouse — Wed, 29 Feb 2012 16:08:08 +0000

This past week was a time of milestones for my boys. Meyer hit 33 weeks gestation (even though he’s gestating in an incubator now) and according to BabyCenter, became a pineapple weighing in at 4 pounds. He’s starting to look more like a baby and less like some skinny, wrinkly old man alien. When I […]

Mother Lion's Biting Words

Toulouse — Sun, 05 Jun 2011 04:24:08 +0000

Friday was hot in Atlanta. I mean h-h-h-h-hot. 96 degrees hot. Landlocked hot. Asher and I wanted coolness, but we did not want to be trapped together in the house all day despite its excellent air-conditioning, so in an effort to find just the right compromise, we decided to spend the day at the pool. […]

What the Donkey Said

Toulouse — Mon, 05 Apr 2010 03:38:59 +0000

If your phone number is stored in my iphone, don’t be surprised to end up with a voicemail message that’s mostly silence punctuated by animal sounds. This happened to my friend, Kathy, last week. She’s smart enough to have figured out more or less what happened. I probably would’ve spent some time wondering if I […]
