So true! Everybody assumes that the poets and English profs give a deep goddamn about narrative, and story arcs, and plot. And all I ever care about is anecdote, detail, description, and the motherfucking sublime.<BR/><BR/>I'd say also that the not-living-together-all-the-time thing is tough for the reasons you describe. I feel it with my long distance BF.<BR/><BR/>One feels pressured to make every minute you do have precious and ideal, but then there's the whole adjustment to not having shared space or time in a while, and everybody being keyed up as a consequence...the rebel lettristehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08369013300190217105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1794978458772149149.post-63906771438902168032008-08-14T19:53:00.000-07:002008-08-14T19:53:00.000-07:00so glad you dropped by, leslie! miss my fellow te...so glad you dropped by, leslie! miss my fellow teetotaler.Renaissance Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06243095907452011303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1794978458772149149.post-25101070906122409682008-08-14T07:07:00.000-07:002008-08-14T07:07:00.000-07:00Hey, RenGirl!Too hilarious.

I have no experience as a mother (yet) but someday I'd like to, and it is refreshing to know that mom's get annoyed and pissed off at their wonderful offspring, even single moms. Things 1 and 2 sound adorable, and your love for them clearly shows through your annoyance. Don't worry- go running and I think it's okay to snap at them now and then. My mother snapped at me frequently when I was a little pain-in-the-arse, and our relationship is much the better for it.Pamphiliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07709191371678901051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1794978458772149149.post-64763848603855554902008-08-10T20:40:00.000-07:002008-08-10T20:40:00.000-07:00Atta girl! go running!

Being a mom under any circumstances requires everything you have to give and more, which, guess what, is impossible. And truck/car narratives. Sheesh. <BR/><BR/>Way to go for the awesome kids, by the way.Lisa B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10646181766775405935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1794978458772149149.post-54302091287036198952008-08-10T20:04:00.000-07:002008-08-10T20:04:00.000-07:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.goooooood girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04966967530389712531noreply@blogger.com
