Don’t shoot your shoes this summer
As a mother, I want a lot for my children.
I want them to be happy, to cure cancer, to be compassionate and well-loved individuals, and to marry into Bill Gates' millions.
She’s one unhappy camper
I am not, nor will I ever be, the 'roughing it" type.
My husband, bless his heart, refuses to believe this.
Writers and mothers can relate well
Now that I'm a "real writer" (as opposed to my former slacker's life as a married mother moonlighting as a writer), I'm amazed at all the similarities - besides sleeping late - between tortured artists and me.
Schools are ready for moms who flunk lunch
I am an unfit mother. Oh sure, other mothers might see the merit in hiding it better. But me, I work hard at it.
A common sense cure for cold feet
Authorities and searchers might have been at a loss when they launched a nationwide hunt for "runaway bride'' Jennifer Wilbanks recently, but the real experts - wedding planners - knew this was no kidnapping.
More fun than you can shake a stick at
I firmly believe that when mothers compare notes on childbirth this can only be because they have not yet experienced the pain and sheer endurance that a 6-year-old's birthday party entails.
I married the man, not the ring
He stole my heart with a killer combination of dark good looks, a stunning ability to fix almost anything, and an inexhaustible instinct to take care of me when I'm moody, sick or stressed, which is pretty much always.
It’s a wash
Ancient people cleaned their clothes by pounding them on rocks or rubbing them with abrasive sands and washing the dirt away in local streams.
Time flies along with fly balls
Does anybody really know what time it is? Does anybody really care?
Since daylight-saving time began anew last weekend, I can't say that I do.
TV, or not TV? That’s the question
Am I mistaken, or wasn't watching too much television once considered to be a bad idea?
Didn't people lie about how much time they spent watching Dallas?
Can we not recall that once there was a golden time in America when "couch potato" was an insult?
Now? I'm ashamed to be among decent people because I have nothing to say about Survivor.
