I've been pondering over the issues of education and the inner city at great length since last Spring when I registered Ruthie for kindergarten. We are a white, middle class family living in a diverse community with lower class and working poor families. On more than one occasion I've heard my neighborhood referred to as "the inner city."  Read more >

I'm not going to Blogher this year. At first I wasn't phased by this reality, since it really wasn't practical for me financially or logistically anyway. I was willing to accept that. But then the BlogHer chatter on the internet started pulling at my Poor Me strings this week. I have kept in touch this year with many women I met at BlogHer 2006, and meeting up with them again would be dangerously fun in a Not Sleeping for Three Days kind of way. I'm trying to get past that left-out feeling, because I know I am not being excluded in spirit. I just won't be present in body.  Read more >

About Me: 

I'm a writer, mother of two, and wife to a tech geek. My blog is where I practice my craft - I liken it to what Anne Lamott calls, the "shitty first draft." I don't labor a lot over each word or the placement of each punctuation mark - I just write it all down before I forget, and hope to one day make sense of it all in a book.

My writing is pretty naked on topics such as depression, rage, marital conflicts and bliss, and attempting to parent well despite all of it. I welcome comments. In fact, I love the conversation and do what I can to bribe readers to comment. They mostly ignore me - even when I'm giving away free stuff.
