The State of Discontent: December 2011
http://www.thestateofdiscontent.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
Thursday, December 22, 2011. Santa Writes in Cursive. Cursive, (and wasn't, in fact, to be honest, sure it could be done - such a shame that the early correction of wrong-handedness had gone out of style). So Isaac's mother swore that once she was allowed to stop writing in cursive she would never use cursive again. And she doesn't. Santa writes gift tags and thank you notes for cookies in shimmering green ink and perfect Palmer script. (Without smudges.). Santa goes ahead and buys the activity set Isaac...

Fantastic Voyage: March 2009
http://susiewrsthepants.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
Making this blog all about me.me, me, me since 2007. Tuesday, March 24, 2009. Another posting on the not-so-secret blog. Monday, March 23, 2009. I have posted on the secret blog. It's short and to the point. Monday, March 16, 2009. Confessions Of A Semi-Shopaholic. Seems to come. I always end up putting back my selections. I went crazy this time. Oh yeah, I was a shopping freak. Melissa did get plenty of clothes. As a matter of fact, when I saw her puny selection, I sent her back to buy more! This past w...

The State of Discontent: November 2011
http://www.thestateofdiscontent.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
Saturday, November 12, 2011. When You Have to Be THAT Mom. I am that mom who bakes cupcakes, from scratch, for the entire class. I am that mom who brings candy for every holiday party, and stays to walk the class through the holiday craft. I am that mom who volunteers on every field trip. The one who volunteers at the school library two or three days a week. The one who goes to every school assembly. The one who shows up, early, to every parent-teacher conference meeting. I am that mom who almost never u...

The State of Discontent: July 2011
http://www.thestateofdiscontent.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
Thursday, July 28, 2011. Conversations with a Seven-Year-Old. KID: I can't sleep by myself tonight. I'm scared. KID: I'm scared that a black hole will swallow the Earth before humans master interplanetary space flight. I'm scared that all the people living on Earth will die, and civilization will be destroyed, and maybe then there will be no intelligent life left anywhere in the universe. I'm scared that the universe itself will one day run out of energy and grow cold and dark and empty. I Also Write At.

The State of Discontent: This Is Just to Say
http://www.thestateofdiscontent.com/2011/12/this-is-just-to-say.html
Thursday, December 01, 2011. This Is Just to Say. The last slice of pumpkin pie. Saving for tomorrow's lunch. I felt a little guilty when I took it actually, but. I cooked for eight hours straight on Thanksgiving. While I had a migraine. In our outdated kitchen which is roughly the size of a walk-in closet. And feels like an oven itself when the oven is on. And I roasted a whole turkey for you even though I'm a vegetarian. While you mostly watched the Macy's Parade*. You're a self-styled feminist. The Bo...

The State of Discontent: Keeping Google busy since 2004
http://www.thestateofdiscontent.com/2012/12/keeping-google-busy-since-2004.html
Tuesday, December 18, 2012. Keeping Google busy since 2004. Questions my kid has asked me so far today:. When did people stop using their father's first name or their town as their last name, like 'Robert John's Son,' or 'Thomas of Bridge Town,' and start using the same last name as their whole family like we do now? Can you visit the exact spot where Lewis and Clark first saw the Pacific Ocean? Who was on the first American dollar? Did George Washington ever watch fireworks on the Fourth of July? The Bo...
