I’m a mom of two beautiful kids…however, reluctantly. After years of desperately searching the bookstore shelves for a parenting book I could relate to, I’ve decided to write one of my own. Essentially, my hobbies have become dissecting--ruthlessly--any values we hold true as parents, and warping them in my writings until they apply to REAL people. I am currently in need of an agent and or publisher to immortalize my ramblings, and the advice of some many parenting class instructers that I will be interviewing.
p.s. people that lack a sense of humor about themselves take heed before you read.

Journal, Diary, & Blogging / the weaker sex. ha.
Version 1
3 Reviews   7 Comments
In light of recent events, I would like to express my opinion on this term. "Women are the weaker sex." I love my boyfriend, and as of late am extremely grateful to him for coming home every day and loving me and my (our) kids, for working ten hours and still cooking dinner (he's a much better cook than I am), for handing over the paychecks when I request it, but... Why do men always act like just because they are employed (for the moment), or because they're paying child-support, or because ...

Journal, Diary, & Blogging / BABY-MAMMA-DRAMA
Version 1

BabyMammaDrama Current mood: exhausted Category: Life If women are refered to as the-baby-mamma-drama sheerly due to the fact that they, in good faith, have given birth to these beautiful children, raised them, usually without child-support, on their own...then what possible deragatory name can we come up with for the men that abandon these tiny famillies. Yesterday, for the first time in 5 years, I requested that Liegha's father assist me with her school supplies and clothes. I advised him ...

Journal, Diary, & Blogging / Sex Education
Version 3

Sex Education Current mood: amused SEX MADE ME STUPID. Above every mans' penis should come a government issued disclaimer. ''The incredible--or more likely uninspiring--sex you are about to have with this man may also bestow upon you his charming offspring. He MAY or MAY NOT claim this child as his own; he MAY or MAY NOT prefer to assist in the emotional or financial responsibilty of said child. Abandon all hope, ye who enter here.'' I blame hip-hop music for the production of both my childre...

Journal, Diary, & Blogging / BOOBS
Version 2

boobs Current mood: bouncy I want a boob job. After bearing two children, only to be spit up on, peed all over, and screamed at for asking them too eat their greens, I find myself wondering often"I gave up my fabulously perky breasts FOR THIS?" Children are such ungrateful little people. Myself included. I had no idea until after my second child was born that I should be calling my mother every day for the rest of her life saying "Thanks for giving up that super ass you had back in highschool...

Non-fiction / My Humorous Memoir
THE BEGINNING REALLY HAD ME. EXCELLENT WRITING AND COMIC TIMING. I'M A LITTLE CONFUSED AS TO WHY YOU SUDDENLY START DESCRIBING YOUR PHYSICAL APPEARANCE. I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS A SMALL PIECE OF A BIGGER WHOLE--YOU VERY MUCH HAD ME WANTING TO HEAR MORE ABOUT THIS SENTIMENTAL FATHER OF YOURS--BUT I WAS A LITTLE LOST TOWARD THE END...MAYBE A BETTER--FORGIVE ME--WAY OF TRANSITIONING WOULD BE TO START DESCRIBING YOUR HOMETOWN, OR YOUR FAMILY STRUCTURE--IN CHILDHOOD, OR AT LEAST SOME CLUE AS TO H...
Journal, Diary, & Blogging / Mother and her bottle.
um, well, it's going to be hard to review tyhis because it's so personal. the goals that you've set for this are hard to gauge becuase, again, it's so personal. don't get me wrong, writing should always, always be personal. however, i'm not sure how to critique your writing here, if you want a book of your own writings you really must--as hard as this is--seperate yourself somewhat from the raw emotions of the situation,and write, write to went, but really write about it. i feel for you here,...
Journal, Diary, & Blogging / La petite mort, Une petite histoire
i've been thrown off for days by the title, silly uncultured self thinking it would all be in french, but i finally open it, and find this beautiful work. it's so raw, and what a great quote by the way. by the way, has he broken your heart yet...
Journal, Diary, & Blogging / Journal entry number dos.
yes, believe it or not, poeple really do want to hear about you, just you, cooking, cleaning, working out, making faces at your boyfriends back, whatever it is that makes up your day. but we want to hear what you THINK about it all too--even the mundane--and i liked the way you switched it up at the end there with 'it's a dull life' to 'it's my life', it's poetry. and people want to hear it.
