Grudge Girl: HI THERE!
http://grudgegirl.blogspot.com/2006/03/hi-there.html
Join me as I sort it out. Monday, March 13, 2006. It's been truly loony over here. In light of said lunacy, I'd like to document for posterity the following sweet, calm moments and small pleasures:. 1) Brand new cake of soap. Ahhhhhh. 2) A HUGE, long, beautifully hand-written letter from Yucaree. 3) Taking a shower with Charlotte, and holding her small, silent, slippery body close while we stood rocking slightly under the warm water, with her wet little head on my shoulder. Communion. 8) Simon started re...

Join me as I sort it out. Thursday, July 20, 2006. I'm still alive. just barely. Ethan auditioned and made it into the next highest level of choir, and will be touring Italy with them next summer. He and I are both thrilled! All of my children are spectacularly gifted. Some pix, for your enjoyment. Posted by grudge girl at 5:44 PM. Indiana, United States. I had written a huge long paragraph all about me and my issues, but it seemed like an overshare. I want to SHOW, rather than TELL. Im still alive. ...

Grudge Girl: August 2005

Join me as I sort it out. Tuesday, August 30, 2005. Reason #28 Why Charlotte is Like a Kitty Cat. What is it with her and bathrooms, anyway? Posted by grudge girl at 12:40 PM. Monday, August 29, 2005. Today as I was typing something on the hyper-global-inter-web, it grew strangely quiet for 2 seconds. Then there was faint splashing down the hall. I found Lula happily splishing, elbow-deep, in the toilet. Do you know what we do when we find the baby elbow-deep in the toilet? In a completely matter-of-fact...

Grudge Girl: January 2006

Join me as I sort it out. Tuesday, January 31, 2006. Simon, Boy Genius. WARNING: Bragging about to happen. So we go today, and Simon is a STAH, I tell you, a STAHHHH! The woman who gave him his tests basically fell in love with him, and all but proclaimed him a brainiac. She told me his scores were "off the charts" and that he has an astounding vocabulary, and she even used the words "Gifted and Talented" describing him to an associate. But still, wheeeeee! And education is so important. For quite a whil...

Grudge Girl: December 2005
http://grudgegirl.blogspot.com/2005_12_01_archive.html
Join me as I sort it out. Tuesday, December 27, 2005. My husband is, at this moment, trying to ride his new unicycle in the kitchen. One of Simon's most favorite presents is his new stilts. He took them down to Louisville with him yesterday. He also kicks bootie on his balance board. Ethan and I sit and read, and shake our heads. Andy's genes are Romanian-Circus-People genes, apparently. Posted by grudge girl at 12:48 PM. Sunday, December 25, 2005. My husband got me (us) Salsa lessons for Christmas!

Grudge Girl: February 2006
http://grudgegirl.blogspot.com/2006_02_01_archive.html
Join me as I sort it out. Tuesday, February 21, 2006. Poor little Charlotte has had a rough day. I awoke with a start at 2:38 am last night, to the sounds of her throwing up in her crib. Poor baby. All in her hair and blankie and that's just so confusing to a baby, you know? She wasn't feverish, but afterwards, as I curled on the couch with her and several towels, waiting to see if it would happen again, she was all pale and clammy and stare-y and. quiet. Which is weird for her. This, I can do. She may b...

Grudge Girl: April 2007
http://grudgegirl.blogspot.com/2007_04_01_archive.html
Join me as I sort it out. Friday, April 13, 2007. All Work and No Play Makes Beth a Crazy Girl. I've finally sought therapy. And am considering medication. It's a little scary. Apparently my giant impotent rage intersected with my paralyzing fear in a bad way. Huh. Imagine. So now I have some kind of anxiety disorder accompanied by obsessive tendencies. It's all about lack of control, I guess. But really, what do I know? The secret is avoidance, people! And all will be magically fine! I love him so much ...

Grudge Girl: March 2006
http://grudgegirl.blogspot.com/2006_03_01_archive.html
Join me as I sort it out. Friday, March 24, 2006. He got home a week ago, actually, but I've been freelancing and catching up on grading, and haven't had time to post anything until now. I've got to figure out a way to balance blogging with everything else I'm doing, because it means a lot to me. Doesn't he look capable and self-sufficient, carrying all that luggage? That's his dad in the background, by the way. Simon was quite glad to see his brother again, as you can see. Dude is a seriously picky eate...

Join me as I sort it out. Friday, September 30, 2005. Top Ten Weird Things About Me. 10 Some days I eat nothing but chocolate and coffee. 9 I often think I'm really a gay man in a woman's body. 8 I can't fall asleep with the closet door open because the monsters might get me. 7 I bite my toenails. 6 Sometimes I listen to the TV on the car radio. Even "America's Funniest Home Videos," which I would never watch on the actual TV. So darn proud of those hardworking kids. 2 I have ESP. Sometimes. Oh dear, I'm...
