Ugh!

I have over 230 unread items in my Google Reader.
Update:
There are currently no unread items sitting in my Google Reader.  Of course I didn’t read EVERYTHING that was in there but I do think that I spread myself around pretty well and read a bunch of different blogs.
Why do I do this?  There are a [...]

Adventures in Single Parent Bathing

This evening I attempted to take a bath.   The act of bathing  isn’t that difficult.   It’s pretty simple actually.  You run some water.  You sit.  Well that’s not the case when you are a single Mom and you’re attempting to take said bath while both of your kids are awake.
The first obstacle in the [...]

Reading Sickness (..or Damn you Neil Gaiman & NPR)

I have a sickness.
I have more books in this house than some small town libraries.  Most of the books I haven’t even read yet.
On my way to work  heard an interview with Neil Gaiman whose book The Graveyard Book was recently awarded the Newberry award for most distinguished Children’s literature from the American Library Association.   [...]

An Inauguration Thought

Single moms can raise some awesome kids!

The Picture of Dorian Gray

I really suck at writing reviews of books.     Amazon  has  better reviews than I could  write.   Not to mention the countless number of book blogs that are out there.
(I’m a HUGE fan of book blogs.)  And I don’t consider mine one so it’s not for that reason that I’m particularly fond of the genre.
I [...]

Not So Guilty After All

Yesterday, I started writing a post about guilt.  My guilt.   The guilt that I feel the two weekends a month that my daughters go to stay with their father and the excitement that I feel at having two precious and quiet days to myself.  I started writing about how as a Mom it feels wrong [...]

This morning the air temperature is supposed to be [...]

Guilty Pleasures

So far the first week of 2009 seems to be bringing with it the year of the Guilty Pleasure.
There are days when  I find myself in a sick game where I try to impress this person or that person by my choice of reading material or music.  Well screw that for the time being.  The [...]

Warning: Emo

So there are times when I find myself to be an emotional pile of crap.  You know.   The weepy and pathetic kind.  That would be me right about NOW!
I made it through December.   I think that December is all about running on pure adrenaline.
Then comes New Years and all the crap that I’ve avoided [...]

My Book of The Year (And Some Hot Book Porn)

Last night I took a few pictures of the books that I read in 2008 (aka Book Porn).  The pile is a partial pile since a few of the books that I read I returned to either my sister the librarian or the library.

The BiblioMom Book of 2008 Award goes to  Leif Enger’s sophmore release [...]
