I was angry, really angry. And sad. It had been a long and exhausting day. As a WAHM/SAHM, I was able to watch much of the coverage on TV, and thus had been engrossed with what was happening all day. It was triggering for me, as it was for so many women. Me too. I’d […]

“Elephants never forget…” That’s what his dad said, after giving me a cute stuffed animal elephant (not the one pictured here), that he and his wife/my old friend’s mom found for me while boot (a.k.a. garage/rummage) sale shopping the previous weekend. I’d told them when we first met about how I’d been collecting elephants, mostly […]

I watched the Grey’s Anatomy Season 14 Finale on DVR today and realized that it’s been 10 years since Bob and I (who were late to the party) started binge watching the previous four seasons to catch up in time for Season 5 that Fall. It was something we did together, after Molly was born […]

Sometime over the past week, after our Molly-girl’s birthday had come and gone, I realized that for the first time, in 10 years, I forgot to post my letter to her on our BabyBenson2008 CarePage after sharing it here on my blog. I felt sad about that, as we received so much support on our […]

Happy 10th Heavenly Birthday, Molly Marie! Double Digits. Two candles (a one and a zero) this year at your grave, instead of on a birthday cake. How has it been ten years? So much time has passed since we held you. So much time has passed since you left this world. For so long, your […]

This week I have immersed myself in Hillary Rodham Clinton’s new book What Happened, about her experience with the 2016 Presidential Primary and Election, including why she didn’t win the electoral college and lots of inside scoop on what it was like behind the scenes of her campaign. I’ve struggled with what happened every day […]
