So my ex, the Goblin King (who is also apparently a huge drama queen), has sent me yet another entertaining e-mail. A little back story – as Hubs and I both work outside the home, generally in the mornings we will drop them off at school before we head toContinue Reading
My son is entering Grade 5 now – and with daycare under our belt, I have about 9 years of co-parenting and dealing with the children’s carers. I wrote a bit about it last year. You’d think by now that I’d have it figured out – but nope. Each year isContinue Reading
My life now seems to go in a continuous cycle. Not in a bad way, like a merry-go-round that never stops. It’s now like I’m on a road with two paths in front of me and a map of where I’ve been. I keep looking at the map for cluesContinue Reading
So…poor Puck has been feeling poorly since Saturday afternoon. He’s been mostly OK, taking in a normal amount of fluids, but not eating much, and a low grade fever. Some minor vomiting. But as today is a transfer day, I had to let my ex know last night as he’dContinue Reading
Flower is seven this year. Like most seven year old girls, she’s into dressing up and spending time with her friends. As we’ve had “friend” parties the previous two years, we decided this year that she and I would do something fun together just the two of us. We’re goingContinue Reading

I’ve been feeling very frustrated and “stuck” for the last couple of months. I think it’s the Christmas kerfuffle that did it to me. I feel like I’m constantly fighting. Let’s be clear—my ex is a bully. Plain and simple. He’s very insecure and tries to assert himself in the only way he knows how—byContinue Reading
Poor Flower has had a light cough for the past month or so. No other symptoms. No fever. No headaches. No runny nose. Nothing in her chest. Just a light cough. Sounds like it’s right at the back of her throat. Two weeks ago, one of the younger, newer girlsContinue Reading
Last week, I found out that Puck had misplaced his glasses. They’d been missing for about two weeks. I like to think that a normal co-parenting relationship where both parents have a interest in the kids would have gone like this: Child loses his glasses. Child comes home andContinue Reading
I posted on Facebook a few weeks ago that the Goblin King has suggested that we keep a “food diary” for the children. Thought I’d take today to explain as I had a few questions about how it came about. Last September Puck had a visit with his pediatrician. DuringContinue Reading
