These two things
I feel like all I write about here anymore is about my interactions with Megan. And I suppose it really is a big part of my life these days, which is still weird to me when I consider that we’ve...
Solitude
I was tired and frustrated and hormonal yesterday and I feel like as a result I was a bad friend to Megan. I feel a little guilty about that, but I also feel a little like I’m entitled to be in ...
Blue hair
It’s interesting to me that what Megan called “getting a hot tub” has really translated into having her entire back yard dug up. These contractors don’t just install a tub, but they redesign the ...
Blues
Olsen has taken a job working at a nearby resort in their housekeeping department. I’m very pleased and kind of surprised. I can’t picture my daughter cleaning people’s messes for a living. I ...
Weirdness
Super awkward moment over the weekend and I feel like sharing it here to see if people agree or if I’m overreacting. I was at Megan’s place on Saturday afternoon. She was drinking wine, I was d...
With kids
I feel like my time for writing here has been less and less recently, and I’ve gone from writing probably every other day to writing about once per week. It’s really busy with work right now. W...
Needy
I don’t want to complain that Megan is needy, even though she really is. She’s easily the most needy person in my life, far more than my children. But I feel like I’ve been so detached from a s...
Wicked Queer
We spent much of our free time this last week at the LGBTQ Film Festival. Somebody in my family and/or Megan was probably at just about every film. I lost count but I know I went to at least fi...
Motherly
I happened to be standing near a window yesterday and looking outside when I saw Megan in her driveway with some guy. They were clearly affectionate with each other, although from the distance I...
New
Harrison has a new boyfriend and I can’t say that I really like him. I keep reminding myself that this is part of life and I’m not going to like every guy she brings home. I certainly haven’t l...
First time
Mercer, Harrison, and I went to see a movie last night. We’ve been off our schedule with weekend movies lately because of the constant barrage of stormy weather. But we made it out for an eveni...
My naked problem
This is another awkward thing to write about, which seems to be mostly what I come here to write about. And maybe that’s exactly what this place is for. If it were all simple easy things I woul...
Decide
If I’m being totally honest, I feel like my control on my family is disappearing. I guess it’s something I knew would happen eventually. But when your kids are little, you’re in charge and you ...
The family
I vented a lot to Megan over the last week and she texted me yesterday afternoon and suggested we go out for dinner and a movie, just the two of us. We agreed to make it a girls’ night, and not ...
Float
We drove to the therapy appointment together in silence, and that was perhaps the most unnerving part of the whole evening. Mercer can be a quiet kid, but particularly when we are alone together...
Therapy
Mercer has asked me if I will attend a joint session with him and his therapist. I’m of course 100% willing to do so, but it alarms me and makes me wonder what it is that we need to discuss in a...
Growing
I’ve been struggling to decide how to start writing this. It’s not a big deal, but something I’ve been noticing lately. And I’m not sure how to write about the fact that I’ve noticed it without...
Wife
We had a break between storms and Megan texted to ask if she could take us all out to dinner. I agreed, somewhat reluctantly. Not because I wasn’t interested in going out, but because I didn’t ...
Multiple
Weird and interesting conversation I had with Megan last week. She had invited me over to smoke weed with her and we hung out together in her bedroom with all the windows open looking out over h...
Not weird
I was just talking to a client and jokingly mentioning that he appreciates the way I can be an asshole at times and that he’ll miss it when we’re no longer working together on this case. He resp...
Break ups
A few days without writing and I feel like I have several things to write about. I’ll start with good news and then move onto all the sadness in my house right now. The composting toilet is my n...
Smoke
Harry doesn’t really carry a purse these days. She has this thing that looks more like a gym bag. This is perfectly fine with me since it’s a much more cost effective choice. I personally don’...
Confidence
Megan came up to me the other night and said, “Do you want me to keep your kids’ secrets or share things with you?” I wasn’t sure what she was asking at first. She explained that sometimes my ki...
Mystery panties
Not a lot of time to write, but wanted to share here my current mystery. Laying in the hallway this morning was an obviously worn and dirty lacy satin thong. I picked it up, immediately acknow...
Done nothing
This is somewhat sensitive subject matter that I almost don’t want to write about here, but at the same time I’m eager to maybe collect my thoughts. It came to my attention a few months ago tha...
