Farewell to Yesterday

There is no shortage of useless words. I’d like to say as a writer that every word is necessary and important and meaningful, but I do have a list of words that will never be used and are therefore deemed useless. By me, anyway.
Crewel work. I haven’t used that or heard of it since I [...]

What Does Dinner Mean?

Dinner in its literal sense of course means the following:
Consumption of good food.
I added “good” because I don’t believe anyone goes to “dinner” at McDonald’s or somewhere crappy on purpose.  Not this kind of dinner anyway.
My question is though, when asked to dinner by someone of the opposite sex, what exactly does “dinner” mean?
I asked two [...]

Running

I caught myself screaming at my daughter the other day about running around the house for no reason.

No one is chasing you.
You’re running around in circles, therefore you aren’t actually trying to get anywhere.
This is not gym class and you are not exercising because if you are, jumping jacks are just as effective.
You’re running to [...]

National Child Abuse Prevention Month and Actual Prevention

April is National Child Abuse Prevention Month. Not quite sure how to prevent child abuse, because if it is prevented how do we know it was going to happen in the first place?

Re: Tattoos and Boys Post

A little while back I wrote a post about my daughter lifting her shirt at school to show her friend a My Little Pony stick on tattoo. Today I was looking at the stats of the solitarymama blog on wordpress.com (which is the same blog) and in recent searches it says, “wondering what business a [...]

Law Abiding Citizens and Missing Daddy

We made an attempt to walk to the park today. It’s only a couple blocks away and it was actually nice out (for once). Of course, my daughter must’ve gotten too excited about it and ended up falling and skinning her knee when we were almost there. Then she didn’t want to go to the [...]

Kidz Bop 2 McDonalds Rocks

The new “toy” in McDonalds Happy Meals is the Kidz Bop 2 CD and my daughter loves it. I think it’s just the idea of having her own CD with her own songs. I don’t know.
For some reason I expected the CD to be full of crappy songs I wouldn’t want to listen to. Much to [...]
