Dads Are Like….

Dogs. That is what the daughter told me last night. "Why are they like dogs, honey?" "Because they eat, sleep, and poop" Hmmm. First of all my daughter loves her dog Stanley more than anything else in the world. I am on equal footing with regards to my daughters love and the dog.

I am a Horrible Mother

I really am, someone needs to call social services on me. I may not be as bad as the woman who made make-shift straight jackets out of pajama tops but only because I didn't think of it when they were little and now they are too big for me to wrestle.

Truth in Dating

Image via Wikipedia As I sit here on the eve of Valentines Day, that be all and end all to hopeless romantics, I am watching romantic tear jerkers on TV.

Right, Left and Center or Why I’m Not Watching Blues Clues

As my daughter and I were heading out to school yesterday, daughter asked if we could go on a bike ride before she was dropped off at school. I said "Not now but at the end of the day". "The end of today?" She asked. "Yes" I said. She immediately started to cry. This was not the I-want-what-I-want-now cry but a fearful, scared cry. I
