Sam is now insisting on wearing all of his t-shirts with stuff on the front backwards. All of them. For days now. When questioned, he’ll tell you that his dinosaur, or Spiderman, or dump trucks, whatever is on the front of the shirt, is private. But you know that people are really just thinking that …

I really do like Tuesdays
Loving life this morning – all is sunshiney wonderful in my world. Hot cup of coffee, house relatively, reasonably clean, two cheerful toddlers watching Disney and I’m feeling pretty good about the rest of the day. I’m almost officially decided on Chana Eliana as a Hebrew name. I love, love, love the name Eliana and …

I cry every single year
Every time I see my little girl dance, I well up with tears. Doesn’t matter if it’s observation day at her class, or if it’s the rehearsal, or the actual recital. There’s something about the sight of her on-stage, so grown up and so confident – doing something all on her own, not involved with …

I’m back to happy again
Just in case anyone was keeping track. I think just getting out of the house helped. I’ve got a busy and fun weekend planned, Sam and I are going out with my mom tomorrow – we’re going out in search of yard sales. The last thing I need is to get MORE stuff… but I …

The perils of being a SAHM
Honestly? It’s amazing and wonderful and exactly what I always wanted to do. I’m right there for everything, every little first milestone, the big ones like first step, first word, but the big ones took, like the first time Jess changed a diaper by herself, the first time Sam worked up the courage to jump …

Sunshiney joy in the mornings :-)
I’m sunshiney happy today (yes, I’ve had my requisite two cups of coffee this morning). Sam’s off, something’s not right there, he was up A LOT last night, and slept in until around 8:30 this morning. He left eye was really puffy last night as well, which is odd, but seems to have gone down …

I not like her, and her is a chipmunk
Apparently that a huge insult in toddlerland. Sam was complaining about Jessie, she had the audacity to ask for the last hot dog before he did, resulting in an unimaginably difficult two minutes that he had to WAIT while I bubbled up one more (poor Marc gets only two hot dogs tonight). Luckily, Jess was …

Being a second wife
It’s a different topic than being a stepparent. Because being a second wife is all about your relationship to a woman who used to call your husband hers. And it’s a completely surreal experience – it bears no relationship to anything I’ve ever done before, and it’s one of the hardest things I do. I’m …

Race for Education
Just got back from Jessie’s Race For Education. It was her school’s big fundraiser this year, they sent out letters to everyone we knew (we had to provide the addresses), asking that people sponsor the kids. But it was odd, somewhat like the Relay for Life in that the actual fundraising is all done ahead …
