Mediocre Mama: April 2009
http://mediocremama.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
A tale of one mother's ambition to do just enough to get by. Friday, April 17, 2009. An open letter to the Captain's adenoids. Good evening. I hope this letter finds you well. Oh, wait, you must not be well given that you just willfully and deliberately gave the Captain another ear infection. So that makes 5 ear infections, 5 sinus infections, and a case of the croup, all since November. If this is how you treat your friends, I hate to see how you treat your enemies. Tuesday, April 14, 2009. And so began...

Mediocre Mama: September 2008
http://mediocremama.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
A tale of one mother's ambition to do just enough to get by. Wednesday, September 10, 2008. A girlfriend poked me on facebook. Today and asked the burning question that all new mother's to-be ask. Daunted and perplexed as they walk into the baby shop, it's always the same -. What in the hell do I register for? You're a mom and you have tons of shit! It's all you, girl. You're locked and loaded. When it comes to new babies, someone else's. Buy a pump, get the expensive one, you won't regret.". I could lea...

Mediocre Mama: June 2009
http://mediocremama.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
A tale of one mother's ambition to do just enough to get by. Sunday, June 21, 2009. Something fed to domestic animals. Coarse food for cattle, horses, or sheep. Inferior or readily available material used to supply a heavy demand. And so with our first break in weeks from this monsoon we've been having, the Dad thought it would be a nice change of pace to check out the local Irish Festival downtown (editors note, this would be the same Irish festival we were forced to bail out of last summer because he w...

Mediocre Mama: July 2009
http://mediocremama.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
A tale of one mother's ambition to do just enough to get by. Thursday, July 23, 2009. Sucker Mom, Redux. Minor update to dilemmas. Of yesterday. There is in fact a Saturday soccer program for the Captain's age group. It is also, in fact, a good 25 minutes from my house. All of which leads to the next big question. Do I want to enroll him in soccer so badly that I'm willing to forego. My sleep-in morning for a solid 2 months? I'm a really shitty soccer mom. Wednesday, July 22, 2009. Thursday, July 2, 2009.

Mediocre Mama: December 2008
http://mediocremama.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
A tale of one mother's ambition to do just enough to get by. Tuesday, December 2, 2008. The dog ate his dinner. Yep, and I fed it to her. I'm proud to say that last night the Captain called my bluff and lost. Would be glad to finish his meal, a technique that usually makes him snap to. But once again he shoved the bowl away. Over and over again. And then he hit the bowl and something snapped in this mediocre mama's head. Captain Kid - 0, Mediocre Mama - 1, Dog - 1. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

http://mediocremama.blogspot.com/2010/05/mothers-and-other-strangers.html
A tale of one mother's ambition to do just enough to get by. Sunday, May 2, 2010. Mothers and other strangers. I realize that I have not maintained the best track record of blogging. Hell, I'm utterly convinced that any attempts to reach out to my adoring public might be met with nothingness. I might as well jot this all down in a diary instead of divulging to the silence of the internet. I predict an audience of crickets may be responding. There's a full realization that being a mother is like an exerci...

Mediocre Mama: August 2008
http://mediocremama.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html
A tale of one mother's ambition to do just enough to get by. Monday, August 25, 2008. The audacity of hope. As we crept into his room this morning, and lightly awakened him, we smiled and the Deviant Dad softly said, "[Captain], guess what very special day today is.". He thinks hard. And suddenly the light comes over his face. We smile and laugh. No, it's the first day of school! You know, for clarity's sake. Friday, August 15, 2008. Looks like we made it.". Let the good times roll. But before normal lif...

Mediocre Mama: November 2008
http://mediocremama.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
A tale of one mother's ambition to do just enough to get by. Sunday, November 30, 2008. And so too did my laziness begin. If I am to tell the truth, these things have zero steering. And I'm not going to pretend that I've never knocked over a display or two trying to maneuver one of these puppies. But what's a mediocre mama to do? Then some supermarket that shall remain named (Safeway) decided to take shitty parenting to a new level. So behold, now with on-demand:. Sunday, November 9, 2008. And I'm sure, ...

Mediocre Mama: May 2010
http://mediocremama.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
A tale of one mother's ambition to do just enough to get by. Sunday, May 23, 2010. It has been a long enduring pastime of mine to pick apart my discourse with seemingly well-meaning friends, comrades and fellow parents. We all know of the battle between the Alphas and the Betas of this world and of course my beef with the evil. I am turning 35 in just two weeks and, call it age or indifference, I have both softened my Momtourage stance a bit and found that I am friends with many many women who play Alpha...
