I read today that Josh Harris has apologized for the effect that his book I Kissed Dating Goodbye had on some people in the most vulnerable, most sensitive years of their lives. And it took me back almost 20 years into my past. You see, 20 years ago, I was deep under the influence of […]

At the risk of being too depressing, I want to talk about life after divorce when kids are involved. I don’t know how it is for those who are divorced with no kids, but I fantasize that in some ways it must be easier. (And don’t set me straight if I’m wrong, because I need […]

Financially, this has been the year from Hell in the Editormum household. I still have my full-time administrative assistant job, thank God, but the freelancing work fell off dramatically this year. (Note to my current clients: Thank you! I value each and every one of you in ways you cannot begin to guess.) I have […]

Wow … almost a month of no new posts (though I have been migrating old posts from my Blogit account, so you’ll see some really old stuff back in the archives, as well as my new “Inspirations” page). Lost my groove back there somewhere, and haven’t the time to go back and try to find […]

That’s awesome, because I haven’t been able to write poetry since my marriage began to disintegrate in 1997. I have been waiting, sometimes impatiently, for the ability to return. Sometimes I was afraid it never would. Occasionally a phrase or two would come … but I could never get the fragments to gel into a […]

Everybody makes a big deal about turning forty, as if somehow that number was the embodiment of bad karma or something. I don’t know. Forty is just a number. I’m turning forty this year, and I don’t feel any different. Quite frankly, I am looking forward to a new decade. I spent the last one […]

So if the holidays weren’t complicated enough, yesterday I had to take a half-day off from work to go to court with the ex. And then I get down there, and he decides that, rather than going through the ordeal of actually appearing in court, he’ll work a deal with us there, in the corridor […]

My ex agreed to handle Scout uniforms if I would handle karate uniforms. This weekend is New Scout’s first camping trip. Ex kept telling me it was next weekend. I kept saying “Scoutmaster told me it was the weekend after Labour Day. This weekend.” Guess who was right. (But I wasn’t mean yet. I didn’t […]

I am utterly and completely flabbergasted by what the X did today. The kids and I got home at 8 p.m. The phone rings while we’re getting our jammies on. It’s X. “I have a housewarming gift for the kids and you. Can I bring it now? I came by earlier, but you weren’t home […]

I’ve neglected my blogging these last few days (a week?) because it’s been so terribly busy, and something just had to go. Blogging, since it doesn’t pay the bills, kind of falls by the wayside when life gets crazy. I’m almost done with the paperwork for the police. And then I’ll need another week or […]
