Lighten Up, Oh Ye Of Little, No, or Different Faiths

December 15, 2010 – 8:26 pm

Oh jeepers gee WHILIKERS, one of my posts has been syndicated on my wondrous BlogHer! ======== Mamacita says:  Okay, so, today’s what, the 15th?  It’s time for another politically incorrect rant!  Be warned, oh overly-sensitive types born without the ability to discern. . . . I am a Christmas fanatic. I live for this season. [...]

Empty Nest Syndrome

November 8, 2010 – 3:58 pm

. . . and my mind’s eye – ever more astute than the two regular eyes – still sees scenes like this whenever I look out the living room window in the fall. Empty Nest Syndrome. ENS. Certifiable in all fifty states, and worse every day. Mamacita says so. I love you, my sweet babies.

Let’s Make Magic For Our Children

November 2, 2010 – 10:01 pm

Mamacita says:  Don’t tell anybody, but I’m only pretending to be upset that all the stores are getting ready for Christmas.  Yes, it’s too early.  Yes, Thanksgiving really does deserve some undivided attention.  Etc. The fact is, I love Christmas, and even more than Christmas, I love preparing for Christmas.  This entails far more than [...]

Dear Parents: Don’t Sweat the Trifles

September 8, 2010 – 10:40 pm

Mamacita says:  I had a lot of expectations and I made a lot of plans.  Then I had kids. There’s nothing like having children to knock most of our lofty expectations and plans into a cocked hat.  Other people’s children are one thing; who among us has not watched disdainfully as someone’s child melted down [...]

Hands Off My Pencils or You’ll Be Sorry

August 2, 2010 – 12:05 am

Mamacita says: School will be starting soon – or maybe it already has – for most kids, and each year at about this time I like to re-run this post about an issue that really, really makes me want to kill somebody and put his/her head on a post in the WalMart parking lot bothers [...]

July 4 Weekend Is Here!

July 2, 2010 – 5:18 am

Mamacita says:  Sunday is Independence Day! And, if you do not believe in that, then, Sunday is the Fourth of July. Deny it if you will, but you will be wrong. You have a fourth of July. Everybody has a fourth of July. It’s right there between the third and the fifth, so none of [...]

How We Spend Our Days Is, Of Course, How We Spend Our Lives *

June 24, 2010 – 12:50 am

Mamacita says:  “Why not go out on a limb? Isn’t that where the fruit is?” –Frank Scully I’ve always liked that quotation. I also believe it is absolutely true. I think about it whenever I’m feeling particularly cowardly. It helps me overcome it. Words help me overcome it. I’ve always stood in awe before the [...]

Mamacita (The Real One) Rants About Wiggly Kids and Recess and Stuff

May 29, 2010 – 12:05 am

Mamacita says:  Some of this was first posted on June 30, 2007, but my opinion hasn’t changed since then, and I’ve added a few more opinionated Mamacita-isms. Are you surprised? I didn’t think you would be. “No two people are alike, and both of them are damn glad of it.” That’s a quotation; that’s not [...]

Because.

May 23, 2010 – 10:39 pm

Rerun. November, 2004. Before some of you were born, yes? == Mamacita says:  Remember that anecdote about the young bride whose husband asked her why she cut the beef roast* in half before she put it in the pan? She told him she did it that way, because her mother always did it that way. [...]

Scheiss Weekly: Age Six

April 13, 2010 – 11:06 pm

Mamacita says:  I’ve been blogging for six years now, and it has changed me.  Even the way I blogged in the beginning has changed.  I think that part has changed for a lot of people. When most of us first started putting bits and pieces of ourselves “out there” for “strangers” to see, we didn’t [...]
