My mother-in-law once put it best, “A child is born with the instinct to the kill themselves, and it’s your job as a parent to stop them.” Sounds ’bout right to me.
Whenever Dick and I talk about the prospect of a third child, I always secretly imagine having another boy. Don’t get me wrong - I adore [...]
Dick and I have noticed that our 2-year old, Tabitha, is making huge strides in her ability to communicate with us. No longer are her thoughts expressed in bits and pieces - a few words strewn about. Now her thoughts are connected with a delicate little narrative for her parents to cling to when deciphering requests. Still, while she [...]
We’ve been sick for the last 18 months. This is not an exaggeration. When we moved to New Jersey in the fall of ‘06 we were all coming down with something. And soon, we’ll be moving back to Florida and I’m certain we’ll be sick for that, too. When we first arrived, I explained our constant state of illness [...]
Raw Drip is one woman's raw, wry, fresh, and cheeky take on parenting, relationships, life, and other important stuff. I started writing Raw Drip because my friends are scattered all over the place and as a working mother with two toddlers I have no time to talk to them on the phone, meet them for a cup of coffee - or bathe regularly. Instead, I sit my stinky solo self down at my computer and write about all the things I used to talk with them about - and then I share it all with you - my fan base, my readership, my loyal drips.
Some of you have asked about the site name, Raw Drip, what does it mean? The name was inspired by the freshly perked cup of coffee I was drinking when I decided to start writing. I guess people see the word "raw" and just assume that the name has something to do with porn. It doesn't. I also don't write about: raw meat storage, raw food dieting, photos of people in the raw, or an obscure Japanese band named Raw Drip.
So dudes, if you've inadvertently stumbled upon my site while surfing for porn, my apologies. Unfortunately for you, you've landed in a place that's all chick-chat, with occasional penis references thrown in just for fun. At Raw Drip, the truth is harsh. But if you're man enough to handle it, keep reading. If not, move it along...
There. Are we all clear now? No porn here.
Happy Reading!
