SactoWriteMama: April 2010
http://sactowritemama.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
A newspaper journalist turned world traveler turned freelance writer and stay-at-home mama writes it down . Wednesday, April 28, 2010. In a moment of desperation, lifelines were cast out seeking help for the children. Just as a new day dawned the lines got pulled in. One, two, three, four and more. Now faced with a choice: Remain on the Titanic or board a lifeboat? A spreadsheet is created with a list of “pros” and “cons” and “what next? No pressure. After all, it’s only their future. One of our first st...

SactoWriteMama: January 2010
http://sactowritemama.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
A newspaper journalist turned world traveler turned freelance writer and stay-at-home mama writes it down . Sunday, January 31, 2010. Forget The Past and Move On. I would not be a very good parent were I to get mired in the past of my own childhood. For all the joys of being a child, there also was a measure of heartache. The disappointment of a parent more interested in adventure than his offspring, a man who could not keep his promises and who was rarely there. No But I forgave him. When someone you ca...

http://sactowritemama.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
A newspaper journalist turned world traveler turned freelance writer and stay-at-home mama writes it down . Thursday, December 24, 2009. I Just Wanna Know Why. My children were born nearly three years apart. My daughter is just older enough to mother (translation: boss) her little brother around. My son is just younger enough… Let’s face it, he’s a rascal! 8221; My nearly 6-year-old son currently fits comfortably in this category. Why is there frost on the grass? Why is sissy crying? We Are Santa's Elves.

SactoWriteMama: Why We Lie
http://sactowritemama.blogspot.com/2010/07/why-we-lie.html
A newspaper journalist turned world traveler turned freelance writer and stay-at-home mama writes it down . Tuesday, June 29, 2010. The other day another mom paid me one of the greatest, if not undeserved compliments, when she asked me to help her get organized. She was lamenting the constant juggle of children, their activities, keeping house and caring for ailing parents. I felt like a deer caught in headlights when one asked, “Is it possible? To have it all? Children, marriage and a career? So as much...

A newspaper journalist turned world traveler turned freelance writer and stay-at-home mama writes it down . Monday, February 22, 2010. Some days I stop and take a long look at my children:. The curve of their chins, long lashes resting on soft cheeks and dark locks. Some days they resemble the toddlers still found in photographs. Some days my two act more mature than their combined years. Some days I yearn for years past when they fit so snug in my lap. Today they are here. And they are mine. Challenge D...

SactoWriteMama: March 2010
http://sactowritemama.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
A newspaper journalist turned world traveler turned freelance writer and stay-at-home mama writes it down . Thursday, March 25, 2010. Everywhere I look lately, I am noticing things in a way I never did before. Is it a child’s recent diagnosis of ADHD? The friend who thinks her son might have Asperger’s? The couple met by chance with a child at 13 struggling with Fragile X? Or is it that those with “special needs” have become more mainstream media fare? I can see clearly now.
