The Striped Nickel: "Falsies" has Arrived!
http://thestripednickel.blogspot.com/2013/09/falsies-has-arrived.html
Or, What to Expect When you Get the Unexpected. Sunday, September 15, 2013. Only it has another name. ("Breasts are not a Requirement." I kinda liked "Falsies" better, but I can see that's more of a lit journal title than a glossy mag one.) It's hot off the press in the October issue of. O, the Oprah Magazine. I am so grateful to be in such good company! I'm featured on the Contributors page as well as somewhere in the middle of the magazine (the essay itself). Check it out! September 29, 2013 at 6:07 AM.

http://thestripednickel.blogspot.com/2013/10/hello-goodbye.html
Or, What to Expect When you Get the Unexpected. Thursday, October 10, 2013. It is such an odd thing. He comes and goes like a dream. This is not the way of most thirteen-year-old boys. The healthy and the happy ones stay, mostly. Sure, they go for short periods of time. Sleep-away camp. Sleep overs with friends. School trips. Visits to Grandmas and Grandpas and aunts and uncles and cousins. But what I have not quite figured out is, which home is his REAL home? The one he flits in and out of like a dream?

If you're making a pro and con list for having children, I'll be honest. There's a whole lot of stuff to put in the "con" column. For example. Thirty dirty little fingers in your bag of Doritos. Doing enough laundry to stock a Goodwill. Being happy about sleeping in.all the way until 7am! The phrase: "Because I said so.". Baby puke down your shirt. It me...

Sh*t: I wipe it, put up with it, and get it done. These are the adventures of a mommy lawyer. Friday, July 31, 2015. I've had an eventful work week! In addition to this hearing, I was forced out of my comfort zone on several other occasions this week. It's a funny but I'm continually surprised to find that I am feeling more comfortable and confident in my role and equally surprised to find that clients and reporters and other attorneys take me seriously and ask my opinion. Why the hell not? Amen I heard ...
