    It finally happened. It hasn't happened in my almost six years of being a parent. I've avoided it, somehow. But last night, it happened.  Read more >

    I wanted to write the story of my mother. But when I started constructing it in my head I realized that it would take far too long and based on my scattered knowledge, wouldn't make much sense to anyone outside the family. She's complex, my mother. Her story is full of independence, restlessness, a great lost love, a long drawn out painful marriage, numerous missteps and triumphs. It is a great story, but an unfinished one. And without her permission and memories to pick from I'm afraid I couldn't do the telling of it justice.  Read more >

    The phone rang at 8:45am this morning. The voice on the other end said, "Hello. Mrs. Sugarbritches?" "Yes." "This is Ms. So and So at the school. The Monster says he doesn't feel well. Would you like to speak to him?" "Yes I would." The Monster, "Mom, I don't feel very well. My head and tummy hurt very badly. I feel like I'm going to throw up." "Do you have a fever?" "No, Ms. So and So said I don't"  Read more >

    There's been a shift occurring in my home. Not as dramatic as an earthquake but faster than erosion. Somewhere along the lines of sand dunes changing imperceptibly on a day to day basis.  Read more >

    Dear New China Buffet Busboy or Carpet Cleaner, I'm sorry. So very sorry. One of the main reasons my family splurges to go out to eat is not because of your amazingly tasty and authentic Chinese cuisine located in the middle of landlocked Arkansas, but for the simple fact I don't have to clean up after it. I know you probably cringe when you see us come in and I could hear your sigh as you grabbed the nearest grimy high chair and led us to our booth. I almost felt sorry for you, because being the mother of my children I knew what mess was in store for you upon our departure.  Read more >

    I'm not attending BlogHer 09 in Chicago. God how I wish I was. I'd love nothing better than a weekend away from the responsibilities of this family life I've chosen. Time with intelligent, talented, witty females whom I might be able to relate too. The freedom to have a few drinks and hang out without the 6am wake up call of a fussy baby. Yes I want to go, but I won't be going. Money, family obligations, mostly money will keep me from it. Anyone want to stow me away in their suitcase?  Read more >

    I'm searching for my voice. Have you seen it? No, of course you haven't, because I'm not sure I ever had it to lose. Discovering one's voice is tough work. My inner monologue is a chameleon, constantly changing and shifting to suit my dialogue partner or my current mood. I'm sitting very still these days, trying to hear, straining for a syllable of my voice. Is it catty? Sarcastically biting reaching hard to be witty, when indeed I am not? Do I wax sentimental too much, caught in emotions that you, the audience, find dull?  Read more >

    It's cold out. Finally. I've been waiting for a chill in the air since the last cold snap of the previous spring. The kids are sleeping, the wood stove is emanating heat to every corner of my snug little house. And what am I doing? Staring into the depths of my monitor, connecting with people I don't even know. Blogging for myself and for the feedback. Hoping to reach people I'll never meet, whilst ignoring those folks within my reach.  Read more >

About Me: 
I love life! More than I ever have thanks to the daily joys and trials of being a SAHM to my three kiddos. My husband is wonderful, supportive, handsome, and most importantly a great father. A Hallmark card I am not. I have my days, my moods, my issues, but I love to write and entertain. Besides parenting my main interest is reading and blogging. There are so many other things and trying to fit oneself into the constraints of a text box is difficult. My posts speak for themselves and me so check them and my blog out at SugarBritches.
