As a working mom of a special needs child, I often struggle with time issues. I try my best to give work my full attention during the daytime hours, and my kids and husband my full attention during the hours after work and on weekends (with the exception of my twice a week yoga classes)....

Mommy Porn
There's been a lot of talk about so-called "mommy porn" since 50 Shades of Grey (E.L. James). I'm here to tell you, Blogtropolis Moms, that if you are in the minority and haven't yet read the books, be advised that you don't need to succumb to the hype. There are lots of fun guys you can...

Chaturanga Man and Stretchy Woman
A few years ago, after committing to living healthier, I started doing yoga at home with DVDs. I wasn't really into it. In fact, I remember describing it as "goofy." So I gave up my home yoga practice and joined a gym, opting for a weight-lifting class and an occasional trot on the treadmill. After... Continue Reading →
Academy Awards Movie Madness- Les Miserables [Spoiler Alert!]
Every year when the Oscar nominations are revealed, I make a concerted effort to see all of the Best Picture nominees prior to the awards show. A few years back when there were only five movies in the category, this was simple. Now that there can be up to ten, I partake in a sort... Continue Reading →

WOAW’s What to Watch- Scandal
As I procrastinated on my twitter account this morning, Kerry Washington popped up, and it dawned on me that Scandal returns tomorrow night on ABC! YES! Olivia! Fitz! Mellie! So psyched and so happy to award Scandal the premiere post of Waiting on a Word's What to Watch. I love Olivia Pope (Kerry Washington). I... Continue Reading →
“Poison Experts”
Tonight I had the pleasure of using one of the many phone numbers posted on a magnet on my fridge. Pizza delivery? Nope. Real Estate agent? Nope. Poison Control. Unfortunately, it wasn't the first time I've sought out that magnet. My little guy, M. finished his bath and ran downstairs while I was helping my... Continue Reading →
“Me” Time- Writing
The time: Nine p.m. The place: my couch. My butt: comfortably plopped. My company: none. I exhale. Ahhhhh! It's the only time of day that I actually can choose what I want to do. No demanding job, no demanding kids. Guess what time it is, Blogtropolis? It's "Me" Time. Woo-hoo! On a good night, "me"... Continue Reading →
