Mama Dramas: November 2006
http://mamadramas.blogspot.com/2006_11_01_archive.html
Thursday, November 30, 2006. I recently saw Brokeback Mountain. I need someone to explain to me how this is considered a great movie. I thought Michelle Williams was great, and Anne Hathaway was great - but the guys? I just did not buy it. And I could not understand a damn thing that Heath Ledger said. Mainly - I did not understand where the love originated from, or why it was so important, since it looked pretty much like a convenience booty call to me. Posted by Amy @ 1:57 PM. A friend told me once tha...

Mama Dramas: September 2006
http://mamadramas.blogspot.com/2006_09_01_archive.html
Saturday, September 30, 2006. When I was in third grade we had an in-class poetry contest. I had written mine in about five seconds when my friend Jennifer said, "Amy, you are suuuch a good writer. Can you do a poem for me? Always wanting to please a friend, I agreed. And it was about gum. And in the end of course, she won the contest. By parents were pissed. My chest swells with pride. Posted by Amy @ 8:07 AM. Saturday, September 23, 2006. An Unexpected Shout Out. Hallucination, you ask? So we went to t...

Mama Dramas: February 2007
http://mamadramas.blogspot.com/2007_02_01_archive.html
Tuesday, February 27, 2007. Posted by Amy @ 5:25 PM. Sunday, February 25, 2007. You think you want it. Just a moment of peace - to pick up crushed Cheerios, to go to the bathroom, to watch Sex and The City on On Demand, to just be YOU for a minute, or anybody else. You declare, with an artificial brightness reserved for dental hygienists and stewardesses. There is pain and turblunce ahead. Her face falls. Fun is over, and usually abruptly, because there is never a good time. "Mama, No! We both were. ...

Mama Dramas: January 2007
http://mamadramas.blogspot.com/2007_01_01_archive.html
Sunday, January 28, 2007. The path to righteousness. I have always believed that you can learn everything you need to know about a person's true character by their instanteous decisions. The things that a person will say and do when they have a split second, if that, to plan, to premeditate. These are the same people who do for others with no regard for their own gain. I have never seen this as personified as in the case of my husband, A, and my grandmother. Posted by Amy @ 4:32 PM. As a parent, sleep is...

Mama Dramas: October 2006
http://mamadramas.blogspot.com/2006_10_01_archive.html
Tuesday, October 31, 2006. The most liberated I ever felt when it came to wardrobe were the months after I had a baby. I fit barely anything, and it was warm outside, so I was resigned to yoga pants and stretchy tank tops. My breasts were enormous and always on display. My clothes were spotted with spit up. So you can imagine that the clothing options were slim (and I don't mean in size! Posted by Amy @ 8:54 AM. Monday, October 30, 2006. Posted by Amy @ 5:39 AM. Sunday, October 29, 2006. The next year, a...

Mama Dramas: July 2006

Monday, July 31, 2006. Heartbreakers - They come in all sizes. So here is the scene:. He smacks her in the face. I immediately removed her from the scene and we did what all girls do in the face of their first rejection. We ate ice cream. Posted by Amy @ 2:21 PM. Sunday, July 30, 2006. Its a classroom, but instead of desks, there are metal folding chairs arranged in a semicircle. I am reminded of the hip teachers who would say "everyone arrange their seats in a circle! She asked, suddenly the therapist.

Mama Dramas: August 2006
http://mamadramas.blogspot.com/2006_08_01_archive.html
Monday, August 28, 2006. So the hubby and I just returned from our first trip "away" without Chloe, celebrating our fifth anniversary of wedded bliss. Chloe was with my parents in the "country", replete with home grown corn on the cob and what my father calls "country air". That empty autumn feeling that sets in after a vacation, or a wedding, or an amazing summer at camp. Apparently, the holder of the cheerios and hugs is the one who ranks highest in Chloe land. Posted by Amy @ 3:41 PM. I often wonder w...

Thursday, December 21, 2006. 1 I will do more volunteer work. 2 I will read more books. 3 I will stop sleeping in my contact lenses. 4 I will kiss my husband hello when he comes home before the chaos sets in. 5 I will go to the gym. 6 I will use a night cream. 7 I will hang up my clothes at the end of the day, instead of piling. 8 I will cook more, heat up less - for Chloe. 9 I will write more. 10 I won't sweat the small stuff.
