Posted on August 4, 2017 by larva225

I can feel anxiety creeping up on me. It’s fairly diffuse but I can feel it getting stronger. It’s all kid-related and due to the imminent changes. Today will be the last day I pick Felix up from his play … Continue reading →

Dude Awakening

Posted on June 30, 2017 by larva225

Dear Future Felix (since I wrote to your sister last time), How are you? It’s been a quiet yet busy summer, I suppose. We don’t have any vacation plans, so everything is local. While all the vacation pictures other folks … Continue reading →

You know how your stomach sinks when you’re at work and your kid’s school calls? You see that number flash on the caller ID and your mind starts making manouvers: if you have to leave at that exact moment, what … Continue reading →

Girls Just Wanna Have Fund

Posted on November 16, 2015 by larva225

I’ve been AWOL from the blog I suppose. Work has been busy. On top of that, I’ve entered into that sphincter-tightening state of mind in which one realizes that the holidays are careening headlong into one’s life. I mean, Thanksgiving … Continue reading →

Put Your Peddle to the Metal

Posted on August 26, 2015 by larva225

Yeah so school. I really am in a better place about much of this since I last talked about it (https://larva225.wordpress.com/2015/08/21/when-you-wish-upon-a-start/). That doesn’t mean there’s not still frustrations and angst. That also doesn’t mean I’m not drinking a bit more … Continue reading →

Help or High Water

Posted on July 15, 2013 by larva225

Things aren’t going so hot these days. We were called to come in Friday for yet another meeting with Stella’s school. Seriously, this has got to be a record for a not-quite-3-year-old. I predicted more of the same: she’s randomly … Continue reading →

It’s My Potty and I’ll Cry If I Want To

Posted on June 20, 2013 by larva225

School has been a roller coaster. I think I may invest in some torn jeans and temporary tattoos for Stella. On Monday when I picked her up from school, I was told that she had been removed from class due … Continue reading →

Posted on June 10, 2013 by larva225

Last week we took Stella for school orientation. As we were watching her interact with her new little classmates, I had a moment of pure revulsion and horror. I saw prodigious snot trails streaming down at least 3 or 4 … Continue reading →
