We've entered the season of giving -- that time when we try to focus on others. On family. On friends. It's also the season of guilt. I'm fortunately in place where my holiday plans are pretty easy (I know, don't hate). That's what happens when your mom dies and your dad runs off on a [...]
This is a topic that may -- just simply by hearing about it in October -- cause some of you immeasurable pain. But I'm going to bring it up anyway (I know, nice, right?). Holiday cards. Yes, I know it's early. At least it seems early. Of course it also seems early to buy snow [...]
When I read this Worst Moms Moment from Ginger at Spicey Mom, my heart dropped into my stomach. That's all I'm going to give you -- read for yourselves... ******** I am sure that every parent, from day one, imagines the worst case scenario of losing their child. Sickness, SIDS, accidents, kidnapping, you name it, [...]
The saga continues -- we're still in the early 1990's. The Wongs are all meeting up in San Francisco, and Eric has taken refuge with Frangelica after his horrible run-in with Simon. Want to catch up (of course you do)? You can start at the beginning here, or get a list of everything here. ******** Eric could [...]
So Mother's Day is over, and all I can say is, thank the gods. I know most moms look forward to Mother's Day. Probably because they're normal and well-adjusted people who are totally chill about spending a nice Sunday with family, getting an over-priced piece of jewelry designed by Jane Seymour, and maybe going out [...]
So last night, my husband, Tenzin, and I went out to dinner. Grown-up dinner with friends. And a play. We basically have no social life, so this was a big deal for us. For better or worse (most likely worse -- we'll see in a few years when I get a call from their therapists), [...]

Mommy2¢ is back with a list of questions. She wants to know if she's alone in her misery, weirdness, and general snarkiness. You can catch up with the rest of her goings-on at her blog, Mommy2¢.There are so many times in a day I think to myself “Am I the only one…”Am I the only [...]
Meet Mommy2¢. She's compiled an entire list of reasons why she's the World's Worst Mom to her 4 and 6-year-old kids. You can read about all of her other shortcomings and other riotous stuff at her blog, Mommy2¢.I’ve done a real bang-up job in the past couple weeks as a parent. I wish I were [...]
Meet Rebecca from Just Another Blog. She says her now-6-year-old daughter doesn't appear to be scarred from this event. But will any of us really know what we've done until our kids hit their 20's and start ratting us out in therapy? Back when my daughter was only 2 1/2 years old, we ventured out [...]
