minnesota matron thursday january 1 2015 it s time to retire the matron that s right friends minnesota matron is tired not the actual person herself well sometimes but the blog has run its course but what a run it has been saturday september 1 2007 the matron began chronicling the antics pains pleasures and problems associated with these three stryker who was later dubbed he who cannot be named hwcbn was just 11 here he is a bit earlier than that the matron s firstborn was certainly a hot topic on this blog even if he didn t always endorse that practice he s now a man in college do you remember when she thought he might never get there then there was the girl in the middle stage mother now she s truly tired but the theater kid can drive now which helps a lot because there are still auditions rehearsals and performances filling up the calendar everything this lovely generous young woman does feels a little like good bye to her mother she too is growing on up and out happy second half of your junior year of high school darling in just a tiny squirt of time a year and a half there will be just one child in this house thank god buddha oprah allah universe for the little guy there are some signs of danger however he is in middle school she liked it better when sixth grade was still elementary merrick is definitely going to have a certain way with the ladies much like his father we heard about that man here too of course we can t forget satan s familiar or his compatriot evil doer so many stories so much light and life in this house says the matron she has made many many friends through this blog green girl blog this mom suburban correspondent suburban mom mrs g turns out that these women have actual normal names and are now just a few of the many real friends the matron met through blogging thank you internet and facebook thank you amazing women if you re a blog friend and or reader who wants to stay in touch the matron frolics frequently on facebook she s flexes that creative muscle there from time to time as well mary petrie st paul it s not tricky to find her and who is kidding who about any privacy whatsoever at all funny it does feel a bit like that at the moment it s been magic yes and now it is ending thank you too for buying supporting and cheering on this book oh and there s that website should you want to reach her that way the matron remains very much up in the thick of all those stories and lives she shared here that run still going strong she hopes yours is too faithful reader here s to your creative spirits thank you for sustaining hers these wonderful seven years now onto 2015 and the various beauty and friendship we will all find there posted by minnesota matron at 1 02 pm 26 comments friday december 5 2014 claiming these men as her own tuesday the matron heard the news today that yet again a white police officer who killed an unarmed black man was not indicted this time in new york this is news some people take note of a lot if you are a black person in america someone is after your men targeting arresting beating and imprisoning black men women too but the matron is thinking men at the moment is something that white folk maybe especially here in the midwest don t really have to think about sorta not right smack in front of us her anyway then yours truly thought about what she s taught her children that whoever they love she will love the matron has taught her children to love freely and huge to love without hesitation or boundaries or rules their love might be same sex black white rich poor transgender brown asian whatever today hearing the news once again about injustice against a black man crimes she drove past a young black boy bundled up against the cold and trudging his way home and realized that if her children have truly incorporated that message of love then this black boy might someday be her grandson if her children have the whole wide world of humanity from which to choose a life partner their children might not be necessarily white because she is thinking men at the moment black men in particular she looked at that little boy beating it home after the school bus and thought my baby grandson from this day forward that is how the matron will see all black men too those little boys grow up and then those men might be mine and she would have to see the injustice would forever know when her own blood spilled why wait she will claim them as her own now posted by minnesota matron at 6 36 am 3 comments monday november 24 2014 book give away goodreads book

on goodreads promotion r us says the matron however puny those efforts may be posted by minnesota matron at 6 59 am 3 comments friday november 21 2014 more says the matron the matron was the beneficiary of a small but beautiful blessing when she stumbled across this review on goodreads yesterday i went into the book with few expectations and emerged with the feeling that whatever else mary writes i ll read it it took a couple of chapters for me to fall in love but i did without a doubt my pace picked up my sleep was forfeited and i raced to the finish the magic was beautifully woven in and delphi s attitude towards it absolutely believable holly s character is beautifully drawn and leilani s delightfully complex loved it everyone likes a good review but the matron felt undue pleasure over this one joy goosebumps incredulation she let these sensations simmer a bit and then examined them it turns that she does not quite believe she is the real deal after all you know the imposter issue where you sorta feel like you re faking it the matron felt that way at first about being a mother that sense of pretending or being half hearted mama persisted until her third child was born indeed that is part of the reason the matron felt the need to have one more child to prove to herself and everyone else that she was doing the deed really rocking this mama thing look at me i have three somehow a boat load of children finally made her a mother the fact that she required external validation was not lost on the matron the fact that she laboriously orchestrated really a pregnancy said external validation was also duly noted she is still attending to that product too he is 11 so yesterday s glowing review by a complete stranger nonetheless was that outsider looking in to say yes indeed the real deal and this real deal writer also feels the sweet satisfaction of someone enjoying her work how lovely to think of these characters she created keeping a reader up at night way to go leilani way to go matron well done if she does say so herself this time but of course wouldn t one more book tighten the whole thing up just like merrick did for the mama problem so the psyche spins posted by minnesota matron at 7 09 am 4 comments sunday november 16 2014 yes writing about weather again dear god buddha oprah allah universe the matron thinks there has been a misunderstanding you know this january weather before thanksgiving ice packed roads single digit temperatures biting wind feet of blowing snow ring a celestial bell it occurs to me that you in all your wisdom of course but being also very busy running the world may have mistaken the matron for a trooper and thus sent january in november god buddha oprah allah universe it is official the matron is not a trooper she is not rising to the challeng e of ice and chill she is not gamely moving forward she is not embracing winter s edge with my wool cap pulled tight and attitude chipper nope the matron would be the woman wrapped in numerous layers of clothing with a space heater by her side shaking her fist at the sky not at you of course the sky and saying too soon too soon well she hopes this clears up any misunderstanding and sheds light on her actual position here in the world not a trooper cold a wee bit bitter actually thank you for rectifying this situation she looks foward to the thrill of throwing open the shades tomorrow morning and seeing november s 40 degree return posted by minnesota matron at 8 26 pm 4 comments monday november 10 2014 say it ain t snow so much too when will the matron ever learn because panic and crisis prevail every first snow it is all where are my boots i need better gloves don t you remember that my coat ripped to shreds last year i want a blue hat not a red one these boots aren t right on me dear children no piece of clothing or footware designed to save you from arctic death is right everything about a boatload of snow way before thanksgiving is entirely wrong merrick your mother is sorry that she forgot that you wore your coat literally to shreds last year of course you did she will get you a new one tonight it would appear then there are the texts from the teenager taking the city bus still not here and merrick s return from his bus stop i forgot to put shoes in my backpack so off she goes driving merrick back to the bus while praying that scarlett s actually comes so that yours turly doesn t have to also drive downtown during their winter rush hour dramas thank buddha oprah allah universe god the bus came space heaters are now spread throughout the matron s four story 2800 square foot 100 year old house with over 50 windows described thus so you understannd when she says i work from home this is code for i am wearing wool socks slippers jeans tank top long sleeved t shirt sweater sweatshirt and sometimes hat in a wind blown structure that eats our theoretical retirement savings as monthly heating bill if you discover the matron s head in theoven it s not because she went all sylvia plath swear just cooking up creative heat here in st paul while she waits for the next emergency snow related text to arrive or even better may posted by minnesota matron at 7 47 pm 4 comments sunday november 2 2014 that magic touch the matron s youngest sliding along through the middle of 11 recently learned to wink he s been practicing and folks he and that wink are irresistable last monday morning matron merrrick are you ready for the big book presentation in english today merrick what book friends this is where the matron sits down on the floor and rocks herself a little like someone institutionalized or soon to be the matron has devoted herself to that presentation that book merrick s homework he is so unorganized that he sometimes thinks he attends an entirely different school matron the book you ve been reading for a month granny the one you wrote all those notecards for and are preparing the presentation on merrick i have no idea what that s all about matron so you have these 10 note cards outlining the main points of the book you ve read the book there s the worksheet on how to do a presentation does any of this ring a bell merrick well just because i have all that stuff done doesn t mean i know what i m supposed to say during the presentation does it no apparantly it does not
