Philosophy: Not so useless after all.

Growing up notions of philosophy were anathema to me. I don’t recall hearing the word brought up in conversation at home, in school, or even in my friends’ homes. A premise of thought was not truly introduced to me until I was 29 and beginning my venture of stay at home mommydom; ethical and moral [

Parenthood As Education

In my misguided notions of being a parent there was this underlying belief that I had submitted to my children. That my investment in myself had been reformed and translated to demonstrate the importance of parenting my children; not in being their authority, but their loving care provider and guide

And so it comes to this…

In the past I’ve done only a few philosophical posts betwixt the literary or writerly *cough* posts, but now I am finding myself longing for conversation of just about anything.  There are many excellent blogs out there that dedicate themselves to the discussion of industry and writing technique/ide

Celiac Disease

It sounds really scary, doesn’t it?  Anything with disease in it is seems to cause heart palpitations, perhaps a twitch of the eye, or shoulders to tense.  Celiac Disease caused no less of a reaction in me (except for the eye twitch – those are reserved for when my son hits this really loud and real

A Tale of Two Views

As is often my habit I engage in what I view as philosophical debates on facebook.  I acknowledge the futility of these actions, truly, but in this manner I’m rather like a cow through an electric fence…  MOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!  [I am nothing if not extremely self aware and critical.] More recently I

Just Call Me “Slacker”

I was so going to be all over the blogging world before Christmas.  Barring that I was going to be on top of EVERYTHING by New Year’s.  Yeah.  Now it’s almost March and I’m really, really trying to get on top of things again.  The truth is I’ve been in quite the funk.  Lots of [...]

Let the Writing Begin (and the Christmas Insanity End)!

As I’ve run pell mell into Christmas (just wait until Sunday – if you listen real carefully you’ll probably hear the splat of me against the window) without too much more than time for a hitching breath (ever try and make cookies without all-purpose flour?).  Writing and all that goes with it necess

Celiac Disease – AKA Another reason for being absent

My child was anemic at the time of his third year check up.  He had all the hallmark signs of the iron deficiency- pale, lethargic, dark circles under the eyes, quick to get sick…  Much like I had at the same age.  An iron supplement brought him up into the barely there normal range and [...]

Plodding Along

As the year comes to a close, thankfully, I begin my year end “oh, crap I need to make progress on that wip!” sprint.  Admittedly, the rough draft won’t even be done by then, but that matters little to me at this point.  There has been almost no motion in my writing over the last [...]

One Less Christmas Card

First, I must apologize for being so remiss in attending this blog as well as frequenting all the lovely blogs I had become acquainted with earlier in the year.  This has been one humdinger of a year for me and so I thought I would come back in typical fashion with the laundry list of [...]
