MayPoMo #13

  1. The voice that came on after 12 minutes of trying to get through to sign my girl up for preschool for next September: hooray!
  2. The little voice, "Mommy! You haven't done your yoga yet!" So I did my yoga, but 12 minutes into my 20 minutes of DVD I started hearing two little voices: "Are you done yet? Are you done? Mommy, are you done yet?"
  3. The voice that said, "Yeah, make

MayPoMo #12

Ha. (And, yes I am still going to space twice after a period, regardless of the whatever of my font-a-ma-jiggy. So there.) I did not listen to the little voice that said "you're tired, you don't need to go to the gym, stay home and be slothlike." I did not listen to the little voice, even as it got bigger. I waited until the kids went to bed and DaddySutra had everything well under control and out I went. Granted, I stopped at the bank and at costco, and I kind of took my time, and I only walked…

MayPoMo #11: I return

Well, that was unexpected. I was starting on my third month of daily posting, no misses, and we had an expected power outage last Monday afternoon. However, the power came back but we had no phone, no internet. I suppose I could have gone somewhere and found a computer to keep posting on, but I suddenly had a whole bunch of things to deal with, including finding a phone to call the phone company (I could have used my cell, but I am getting no great deal on minutes, and I refused to pay my cel…

MayPoMo #4

Fourteen years ago, around this month, I got a job as a live out nanny (they referred to me as a nanny, but I think it was just because what 23 year old wants to work as a full time babysitter?). I was responsible for four kids.

The interview was great, if by great you mean meeting the three oldest kids while sitting on the picnic table on the deck, then riding the zip line with the oldest kid, then falling off the zip line as the parents came back to tell me they had decided to offe…

MayPoMo #3

I made it through four years of music school without learning to sing. I was a flute player, so it wasn't really necessary, and I took orchestra and band so I didn't have to sing in choir. But, I was required to complete three years of the hell that is Ear Training, and that required daily singing and regular singing tests in front of classmates. Haaaaaated it, and dug my heels in and refused to learn how to sing. I must have faked my way through it somehow.

Once I finished music scho…

Voices as a theme is really interesting, yet kinda abstract for me. I write about voices all the time in my poems. However, it is my regret that I won't be joining you and everyone else in the May challenge. I'm officially done with school today, yet my last final is on Cinco de Mayo. After that, party and frolick (until I have summer school in June). So, I may be back in future NaBloPoMo's. I'll be sure to stop by and say hello! :)

Thanks for that booster mamasutra. That's the first comment I had and hopefully there would be some more others who would really sort of sustain me in this blogging field. I love your posts. It seems that you really have your talent creative writing, if you don't mind, id like to ask if you really is over 50. Your notes doesn't sound that bracket, or maybe, ok age doesn't matter. Again, thanks for the booster. By the way I am from the Philippines.
