Mama’s Day

On Mama’s Day, I woke up at 6am and gathered my clothes and started to sneak out my bedroom door. You see, I’ve been training the girls to not leave their room until the first number on the clock read “7″.
So, it being 6, I figured I could get a shower, have some coffee, and [...]

Open Studio…more randomness

Here is a bird nest painting with graphite I have done, part of a series I worked on last month.
In my last post of randomness, I mentioned my talking to my lawyer. No, exhusband isn’t going for custody or anything like that. In fact, I am just doing some preventative research…and I am a little [...]

Piano lessons

Last night I drove my girls to their dad’s for their weekend. He was flying back from a business trip and ended up delayed, not only in the air, but on the ground because some bonehead was late for their flight at Logan and ran through security. So they shut everything down. I was sitting [...]

I think Ann Coulter is an asshole

I think Ann Coulter is an asshole.
Who needs illustration for that?
I love this single mama and what she has to say about it.  
You can read her blog here at Ms. Single Mama.
Something I appreciate about blogging is connecting with other single mothers. Some of us have dated a bit. Some don’t want to. Some are [...]

I’m talking about boobs again

You’d think I would have a category titled “boobs” on my site, here, you know, for easy browsing.
But I don’t.
Sorry.
Anyway, I was conversing with someone recently about flat ones. Flat boobs, that is.
I was always flat chested, and self conscious of it. I think I wore my first bra when I went to college, merely [...]

This particular episode is not exactly about “weight loss” but more about joy, balance, self love, as well as embracing our own inner strength and finding the”weight” that we can carry within [...]

Everything’s been out

After my morning chat with J on Skype, THE INTERNET WENT OUT.
Yes.
What’s a girl to do?
I was about to do some online bill paying.
I was in the middle of sending a sketch to a client for some work I am doing and the damn internet went out.
I tried calling her because the email wasn’t going [...]

Affirmations with the ex

So, the girls’ dad called a month or so ago to go over some dates for holidays and vacation weeks and when he thanked me for agreeing to his taking the girls for some extra time in April (April Vacation) I joked, “Aren’t you glad you have such a great ex-wife who is reasonable about [...]

One holiday down.

I cringed every time someone asked me “Oh, are you cooking for Thanksgiving?” 
My answer has been “yes, for myself!”
And then folks didn’t know what to say when they realized that J will be gone, my mom is out of town and my kids were with their dad for the four day holiday weekend.
When I say [...]

A day off

The girls loved staying in their pajamas today, since there was no school on “voting day”. Although it was 65 degrees, they wanted to go see High School Musical 3, something I promised a long time ago. In the end, I was able to run errands for my two upcoming art shows and I feel [...]
