Ramblings of an Undercover TCK: Do You Have a Pack?
http://ramblingsofanundercovertck.blogspot.com/2014/11/do-you-have-pack.html
Sunday, November 16, 2014. Do You Have a Pack? On my way into town, there is a call center. It is a bleak, low building set deep in a parking lot, sandwiched between the Public Defender's office and a Dollar General. The cars in the parking lot always huddle close to the building, so that the call center's sign stands alone, far out next to the road. And then. One morning like all the rest I was driving into town, and I looked for him and I found him, but he was not alone! This is a connectedness, I thin...

Ramblings of an Undercover TCK: August 2014
http://ramblingsofanundercovertck.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
Sunday, August 17, 2014. About a year ago I lost my footing. It felt like a slow accumulation of Things on my to-do list, but they eventually became so great, that I lost my balance and fell into them. I have been drowning until about a month ago. What happened, you ask? A (no longer cold nor broken) Hallelujah. I don't know if my endurance has deepened, or if he's just an easier kid than she was. Whatever the reason, I'm not complaining.).

Ramblings of an Undercover TCK: June 2015
http://ramblingsofanundercovertck.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
Friday, June 26, 2015. I Don't Know Why You Say Goodbye, When I Say Hello. I write about transition a lot. Probably because my entire life has basically been a series of hello, goodbyes. A therapist friend of mine, who is also an MK (she wrote a fabulous book, you should check it out. Once told me, after I had called her sobbing on the phone, "Transitions will be a trigger your entire life.". But maybe I should back up. Get a glass of water? Plug in my phone? But maybe I should back up. I'm here," he said.

Ramblings of an Undercover TCK: Just Dig Deep and Bear It
http://ramblingsofanundercovertck.blogspot.com/2011/06/just-dig-deep-and-bear-it.html
Saturday, June 11, 2011. Just Dig Deep and Bear It. Your child wakes you an hour early screaming for you. You catch a nasty look. Accusing voices sneak into your head . "I can't believe you just said that. You're pretty stupid, aren't you? You're five hours on the road and still four hours from home. The throw up won't stop. You don't know where the money is going to come from. The temptation . is calling. Calling. Sweetly and subtly calling for you. The pain won't let you sleep. This Week's Top 3. This ...

Ramblings of an Undercover TCK: Thoughts on the Naugler Family - A Conservative's View
http://ramblingsofanundercovertck.blogspot.com/2015/05/thoughts-on-naugler-family.html
Tuesday, May 12, 2015. Thoughts on the Naugler Family - A Conservative's View. Except when it comes to children. When a person's expression of their civil liberties causes harm the helpless and voiceless in their life, then they have gone too far. Just as 'free speech' doesn't mean you can stand up and yell, "FIRE! In a crowded theater, 'the pursuit of happiness' doesn't mean you can subject your vomiting children to a 'camp out' around a fire pit. I also wrote a piece for HA. May 15, 2015 at 2:25 PM.

Ramblings of an Undercover TCK: August 2013
http://ramblingsofanundercovertck.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html
Monday, August 26, 2013. DBAA : {Conflict Resolution}. The other day I was on the tail end of my morning errand run, and had rounded the corner to a park I had promised to take Xander if he and Manasseh were good while we were out and about. Psalty's If I Were A Butterfly. Was playing in the rear seat for the fiftieth time, and all three of us were ready to get the heck out of the car, and out into the sunny freedom of the playground. Perhaps they're just finishing up the conversation." I thought to ...

Ramblings of an Undercover TCK: Netflix Movie Monday (or not) - Big Brother
http://ramblingsofanundercovertck.blogspot.com/2011/07/netflix-movie-monday-or-not-big-brother_18.html
Monday, July 18, 2011. Netflix Movie Monday (or not) - Big Brother. It's Monday, and time for what I've been calling, 'Netflix Movie Monday', where I review a movie I found, streaming, on Netflix that I found interesting or entertaining. However. Netflix, long considered a customer-friendly little company that looked out for the little guy, recently turned all big corporation on us and hiked its rates up 60%. Not cool, Netflix. Not cool at all. Ok, on to Big Brother, everybody's favorite summer obsession.

Ramblings of an Undercover TCK: July 2015
http://ramblingsofanundercovertck.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html
Friday, July 10, 2015. In Which (My) Pride Comes Before (Her) Fall. The pantsuit was an impulse buy. After all, a 30-something mommy cannot live in yoga pants alone, and every now and then, has the desire to break the shorts-and-tank-top monotony. So when I saw it, with its beautiful turquoise and navy, flowy fabric, on sale. Baby talk to Gigi! Fortunately Gigi is on this side of the Atlantic at the moment, so I sent her a quick text. "Mom, you there? At this point I was grateful I had opted for my pants...

Ramblings of an Undercover TCK: February 2014
http://ramblingsofanundercovertck.blogspot.com/2014_02_01_archive.html
Tuesday, February 25, 2014. Boundaries, Violations, and Consent. I went to visit my aunt last month, in Houston. She lives in a stately subdivision, filled with elegant two stories and wide, tree shrouded streets. Two streets down is the bayou, ringed around with parks and a running trail. Flabbergasted by the connectedness and community I saw before me, I turned to my aunt. "You guys have a very . involved . neighborhood, don't you? Is it like this every night? This is all assuming we live in perfect wo...
