Mamacita says: Guess what. Not every student is ‘more alert’ in the mornings. Believe it or not, many students are nearly comatose early in the morning and their brains spring into action later in the day. This is not always a result of staying up late playing video games, etc. Some people are just wired [...]

Mamacita says: Second day of class, and we’re buried alive in snow, so much so that even the college canceled classes. I don’t believe in omens, but I can’t help thinking, “omen.” I did what I usually do on a snow day: I slept. That is because I am an exciting, energetic bundle of cool, [...]

Mamacita says: Most of you have never seen this picture before. Most of you have never known a time when television wasn’t a 24-hour marathon of programming. This is a test pattern. If you turned on your television after midnight, this is all you saw. The fact is, things used to have down time. Stores [...]

I posted part of this a couple of years ago, but it’s the weekend and I think it bears posting again because when I think of all those exhausted teens being dragged from their beds because some adult thinks that because he’s up, everyone should be up, I get really angry on behalf of the [...]

Mamacita says: Women who had difficult labors probably hate me already right now, but I’ll go ahead and make it worse: I loved being pregnant. I felt GREAT. Even when I was sitting still, doing nothing, I was still doing something wonderfully productive. I was euphoric. I felt very off-balance, but I’m so inclined that [...]

Mamacita says: I’m listening to Straight No Chaser, and it’s impossible to be completely whiny when those blazingly, almost impossibly, talented guys are singing straight to me and me only. . . . I know they’re big stuff now, and I’m glad because they so totally deserve to be big stuff, but let it be [...]

Mamacita says: I would be very grateful indeed if you would go look at my review on this here other blog and comment. Please? I do not do paid reviews on this blog, as it is my personal journal and I just would not DO that to my readers, but on that other blog? Bring [...]

Six Word Saturday is something new for me, but already I like it. Thank you, Show My Face. You don’t know me, but I found you on Magical Mystical Teacher. Saturday afternoon, and I’m finally awake.
Mamacita says: It’s after 3 a.m. and I’m still up, but this is the time of “day” when I’m at my most alert. I always revert back to my normal body clock when I’m on vacation. It doesn’t take very long at all. Today, it took about two hours. When I got home at 4-ish [...]
Mamacita says: Whenever I wear sneakers, my feet feel really bulky and heavy. I feel as though I’ve got two barges on the ends of my legs, or maybe those gigantic slippers that look so much like real furry animals, they scare people when they open the closet door and see them on the closet [...]
