Just sticking my head up long enough to say that most things in my life suck right now, but there are a couple of bright spots, including this one: The great thing about this picture is that you can't see...

No Birdie, no birdie!

Posted on May 08, 2009
Does it make me a bad mother that I found Peach's terror at the Red Robin bird hilarious? Seriously, she was trying to occupy the same place and time I was, clawing at my neck and screaming while the big...

Cheese and whine

Posted on May 04, 2009
Yeah, so this was a whiny post about being sick and accomplishing pretty much nothing all weekend, until I realized that, despite being sick, accomplishing pretty much nothing all weekend was nice and relaxing, and I probably needed the extra...

Hanging in there

Posted on May 01, 2009
Sorry for the dearth of posts, but between all the compulsive handwashing (swineflu) and my abysmal attitude about life in general, it doesn't make for good copy. Plus, I keep falling asleep when I try to post... Hoping for better...

Karma FAIL

Posted on May 01, 2009
So, I agreed to handle a sentencing/diversion deal for my boss today. This, for you criminal lawyer types, is no.big.deal. It's a yawn. For me, I asked several people about everything I needed to do, because in this county, criminal...

Bedtime reading

Apologies for quality - I'm blogging via phone in the nursery.

Need to work on timing

Posted on April 25, 2009
I've been working on teaching Peach to say "I love you," but have had zero success - strange, because she loves to repeat me. I finally figured out why tonight. When I prompted her, she said "no night-night" and "no...

Quote of the week

Posted on April 24, 2009
So pretty much all I think about at work is sex and violence, because that's the kind of law office this is. What this means is that on long days when we get punchy, everything pretty much becomes a sex...

10 things I wish I could have said this week, but didn't.

Posted on April 16, 2009
To client: "I can't believe you f-ing just said that on the record." To attorney: "You are not god's gift to women. You're not even god's gift to orangutans." To boss: "No, I can't revise this complaint to add a...

The shame, the shame

Posted on April 15, 2009
Tonight, at Costco, I succumbed to a parenting rite of passage: baby's first Disney movie. Damn it. But she saw the cover of the Aristocats and gleefully squealed, "kitties!" so really, what could I do?

Consignment store mission accomplished

Posted on April 11, 2009
I had to take her into a dressing room to get her verdict on outfits, but she now has two Hannah Andersson sets and more odds and ends - plus a Pottery Barn Kids Rocking lion - for $40.

Phone blogging

Posted on April 09, 2009
Crazy day - expected two legal assistants and ended up with none, and tomorrow will likely be the same. Have I ever mentioned how much I hate answering phones? Especially when no one actually returns my calls? Lunch was pitching...

Birdhouse in her soul

Posted on April 05, 2009
Like pretty much every toddler on the planet, Peach loves ducks. And so it was no wonder that, aside from the sea lion coming up and putting its face right by my hand (on the glass) and staying there for...

Still here!

Posted on April 04, 2009
This has been one of those weeks. Not too difficult, just a long slog. Matthew has a bad cold and was out of commission Thursday and Friday, and while I'm not feeling like I have a cold, I am achy...

Good and bad and worse

Posted on March 31, 2009
Good: Peach in the "Mommy Hug" phase. (Actually, this should be listed as "wonderful.") Bad: Peach in the screaming when going to bed phase. Worse: Peach in the screaming in the middle of the night phase and Mommy missing work...
