Some things seem too intimate, too personal to write about. Like changing names and hiding behind a paper bag is not enough. Like standing naked in a room full of clothed people would be less revealing than baring my soul. But I’m done hiding my truth. Today something changed, something shifted and I understood for […]

Lost in Translation: The Time my Mom Sent Me a Romantic Card
My name is Claudya and I am my mother’s daughter. My mother was born in Mexicali, Mexico. I am 38 years old so I can say with a certain amount of certainty that my mother has lived in this country for at least 38 years, more I’m sure, but I can only attest to 38. She […]
I Have a Bad Case of…
OMG! What is that? Can you see it? Is it a rash? I caught it from The Peterson Family. Oh geeze, I know what it is; it’s a bad case of tag-itis. The only known cure for tag-itis according to Blog MD is to answer a series of questions. I guess I have to be […]

13 Weeks Pregnant and I Started to Bleed
I was 13 weeks pregnant. Almost no one knew. I was afraid to tell people because what if something went wrong? My boss knew because it was important she understood why I was declining to lift heavy boxes. I was 13 weeks pregnant. It meant I could start telling everyone soon. I would be out […]
Soup and My Abuela
Mi Nana (my grandmother) was not my favorite person. I thought she was racist, sexist, and petty. When I was little she would come and visit and steal my clothes to give to poorer relatives in Mexico. I learned to go through her luggage before she left to get my clothes out. Don’t get me […]

Fragmented Fridays
I am so happy to be home. Being in San Diego with my family was great, but the getting there and the coming back really sucked. Put Pie is sick. It’s the first time in her 11 months of life that she has been ill. It’s nothing huge just a cold, but it breaks my […]
