Selma Hayek and the media's feeding frenzy.

Well, hell - go, Selma! So Selma Hayek decided to take a moment and feed another woman's child. Go her, say I. Why? Because that child needed milk, and probably won't ever again in his life have the quality of nutrition she stopped to provide him. Is it a political statement? Maybe. But only in the sense that motherhood is political. Which it is. Most definitely.  Read more >

You know what I just realized I do to my kids? I explain. I explain a lot. I border on sheer windbaggery, and may even unintentionally waltz into droning. Don't believe me? Ask me about the time that we explained the Canadian political process to a (then) eight-year-old Juniper, including nuances of pink (Lloyd) liberalism and the ruddier shades of orange. I s'plain. Lots.  Read more >

The Third Parent.

Most of the time, I go along in my daily life and don't really think much about being the third parent in Juniper's life. I know I'm not her mother, and I'm clearly not her father, so what's the big deal? I put away her clothes, feed her meals, provide her with love and plan for her future, just the same as I would if I were her first or second parent. She, like Rosebud, is with us for the majority of her time. So I, along with Buddy, parent her most of the time.  Read more >

For the entirety of last week, due to work restrictions, I don't think I cooked one real dinner. As Buddy so aptly but it, "sometimes work doesn't leave enough Wylie left to make dinner." So true. There really is only so much of me to go around. And the mathematics of that are brutal to contemplate. Let's say I have a grand total of 168 hours each week to play with. Of those, I spend 40 hours at work and 56 sleeping.  Read more >

About Me: 

I'm a relatively happy woman with a brain, cats, a household, family and friends. Oh and a daughter, who gets a good chunk of my writing energy these days. I can't help it - I'm just that into her. I've also survived separation and divorce with flying colours. I say this because when the ex left, I somehow ended up acquiring a Buddy (for life) and shares in his daughter, Juniper. I'm happier than I ever thought possible.

I'm also a growing interest. I evolve and develop new quirks with surprising regularity. I hope to continue this trend.
