The Twelve Rules of Christmas

December 24, 2010 – 8:21 pm

Mamacita says: There are, of course Twelve Actual Rules of Christmas, according to the law, and in case you don’t know what they are and have intentions of storming the school or business that’s maliciously ignoring your rights as a Christian/Jew/Catholic/Protestant/Wiccan/Pagan/Atheist/Order of Elfland/Kisser of Mother Earth’s Backside, etc, perhaps y’all should take a glance at [...]

Where Are All The Fathers?

November 8, 2010 – 7:59 pm

Mamacita says:  I’ve been thinking about my father today.  I have no idea why.  There must have been something that started the thought process – something I saw, heard, ate, felt, laughed at. . . SOMETHING that made me think of him.  Right now, though, nothing comes to mind. I’m just thinking about him. So, [...]

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 [...]

Halloween is Rocky Horror Time!

October 31, 2010 – 11:32 am

Mamacita says: “Great Scott!” Halloween has been and gone but it’s still THAT SEASON, which means many things, one of which is that I have a giant bowl half-filled with Tootsie Roll Pops and Hershey bars on my coffee table, and another of which is that I am once again compelled to obsess over my [...]

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 [...]

Too Bad, So Sad. . . .

July 21, 2010 – 12:00 am

Mamacita says:  So many people have emailed me (doesn’t anybody comment any more?)  about the following lines from a previous post that I decided to feature them by themselves.  Yes, my readers are the boss of me. There is such potential in every classroom, such stories to be told, such wondrous talent and creativity and [...]

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 [...]

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. [...]
