Queen of Rambles

Let us all bow our heads in prayer. I need it. I need it badly.
I went to work today and met the most awful group of little mother fuckers [and you KNOW I hate using that word. The F word should only be used when knitting or quilting, because I'm progressive like [...]

I feel totally brain dead right now, which should lead to a mind numbing journal entry. I really don’t have anything to say, but I would hate to disappoint all my loyal fans who enjoy reading my overly long ramble. Ha! I know I am too wordy. I try not to [...]

I had a completely new experience today. For the first time in my life I was chastised by a medical professional for losing weight. When you weigh as much as I do, that only happens in happy fantasy dreams. Too bad this weight loss doesn’t mean I get to wear super cute [...]

Mike was extremely disappointed with my account of our zoo trip yesterday. Perhaps that’s because there was really a lack of any account. I figured my readers had sophisticated tastes and didn’t want to hear about the exciting animal behaviors we observed.
Several of the exhibits featured half-grown cubs, so that always makes things [...]

I’m so glad it’s the weekend. This week has been exhausting. I’ve been at four practically new schools, all about a 40 minute drive away. Add that to all kindergarten and first grade students, and you’ve got a serious need for a looooong weekend.
Yesterday I discovered that I am even more of [...]

Today was a rotten, horrible, no good, very bad day. The kids were naughty, the staff was unfriendly, and I was running on almost no sleep. I really hate going to this school and don’t think I will again (this was my third time there and my third bad experience). The stupid [...]

I’m so tired that I should have been in bed over an hour ago. Sure, it’s only 8:28 pm right now, but when you deal with a class full of kindergarteners all day you need some serious nap time after that.
Today was not a good day. I was supposed to do a half [...]

Thank you thank you thank you everyone who chimed in with plus sized maternity clothing tips. I am so happy that you guys can all steer me in the right direction because I am totally and completely clueless over here. It looks like I have a lot of good, viable leads from you [...]

Being a pregnant fat lady is no fun at all. I went maternity clothes shopping today and thought I was going to have a break down in the dressing room. Clothes seem to come in four sizes, S, M, L, XL. You’d think that would be enough, but I’m fat. I need [...]

Tidbit 1: The next issue of Mosaic Minds has been pushed back two weeks. Poor Kisha is incredibly sick, I was sick, a ton of our staffers have new jobs or new homes or other things that just made this issue not doable by the regular deadline. I think we all threw [...]
