Musings of a young mom
Part Two of Haley’s Guest Post… The experience of living in two genders and perceived to have different sexual orientations, has made me aware of privilege and how oblivious I once was to it. I don’t share my experiences as some guilt trip to people who possess privilege or to paint a picture that my [...]
A guest post from Haley… I’ve lived with society perceiving me in different ways over my lifetime. At one time I was perceived to be a straight white cisgender male (now obviously I was really a closeted transgender woman but the world didn’t know that.) In the year before I gender transitioned, I pushed gender [...]
February has seriously been the longest month ever. Of course, I’m not including all the kids, because I don’t really put pictures of them here. And this should include pictures of Haley at school and me at work. And maybe a few of me laying around in my pajama’s aching and sick, [...]
Every once in a while when I get a bunch of small posts that aren’t really big enough to be a post of their own, I do a hodge-podge post. So here’s the latest. On the drive home from dropping people off in the morning. Ms Drama: Mom do you looove the hair [...]
Every season is nice, but each one ends up feeling about 6 weeks too long for my taste. I have always hated the month of January, long, cold, gray, lonely January. And this year February starts with more snow. I may be tired of the cold, but the snow is beautiful. What makes it swirl [...]
This post was written by my wife Haley. Today I read a book titled, “In Our Mothers’ house.” (The title means mothers plural, even Word wants to be heterosexist and change it to “Mother’s” house.) This book tells the story about a lesbian couple through their lifespan as an elementary school children’s book. The story [...]
2013. I’m not used to it yet. The year sounds silly in my mind, and I find myself writing 2012 on everything still. As we decorated for the holiday season, I found myself remembering the last time I saw these decorations just one year ago. How we got wind of the rumors that had [...]
I was in the middle of trying to get a couple posts together. Mr Punk was making it very difficult by climbing all over me. I eventually gave up and turned the computer off and did come housecleaning instead. When he went down for his nap I turned it back on, and all thoughts [...]
I get home from my job at midnight. After being on my feet for 7 hours, it felt really good to sit in the car for the short ride home and I stumble a little on the way to the kitchen door. Mr. Punk is asleep on the living room floor with his little butt [...]
There is this religious long-time understanding of humanity as a broken and in need of being fixed by a savior. The idea that people are messed up and only a third party intervention by a deity is going to make them good and perfect again. In this understanding, people can try all they want to [...]
