Snoop is 50. I’m 38. F*ck.

As a Millennial, I am well trained to look for fault in damn near everything. It’s a self preservation mechanism that a generation of tech-savvy but exhausted people have created so that we don’t have to spend our days feigning happy that — according to the internet — everyone else…

It’s a simple grief.

On Thursday, my grandfather died. He was 89. There was some Alzheimers — more on some days than on others — as well as the usual and not-entirely-gentle ravishes of aging. He moved slowly, forgot most things, recognized rarely, but he was happy. Happy to sit in his chair and…

I want to remember.

As a writer people are constantly praising me for the amazing job I must be doing writing things down. It’s going to be so amazing for you when your son is grown and you’ve written down all of these memories. Umm… errr… yeah. It’s going to be the tits when…

My kid is a brat.

Since the time my child was about two — which is when, for me, actual parenting started to happen — I’ve said the same thing. If the universe could do you a solid and just give you an envelope when your kid was born, everything would be so much simpler. …

A Letter to My Husband

Sometimes we stop communicating because we have too much to say — Dear Husband, This weekend we had an anniversary. Our 11th. To be fair, we got married so young that we should be having our fifth, but we did what we did and we had our 11th. We’ll be celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary before we’re fifty. We’ll likely be too…

How to Kill Your Mother

I recently had to explain to my mother that dying, specifically dying when you want to, was a lot more complicated than having me (her daughter) smother her with a pillow when her faculties were gone. It was Mother’s Day, so naturally our conversation drifted to her death and what…

Notes from the Underground

I’ve said it before and I’m sure I’ll say it again many, many times, but we don’t spend nearly enough time telling people about the responsibility of raising humans. You get married, you’re happy (maybe), have more time and disposable income than you even realize (maybe), and then you get…

Parenting is a Poo Smear

I cannot be clearer than this: three year olds are the worst. The. Worst. On the one hand, they are so cute. At three, you have a tiny person, wearing tiny adult clothes. They have these insanely observant, candid things to say. They make you laugh. You starting thinking things…

You’ve Officially Been Called Upon

I took a hiatus from Facebook and then the entire world went to shit. Like actually. I took a hiatus from Facebook to try to maintain my sanity and then Donald Fucking Trump got elected president. That actually happened. In some ways, Trump ruined my Facebook homecoming. I was going…
