Much, much to talk about… things were CRAZY busy this weekend, and I’m still trying to recover… Friday night, we had Shabbat dinner. Shabbat is my thing – we have a big sit down family dinner, Marc blesses each child individually, we thank God for bringing us here to this place in this time, he …

I spend a lot of time thanking myself. To the point where I’m beginning to sound as though I’ve got another personality in here – she’s called “Mommy” and I spend a lot of time saying “Thank you, Mommy” and “Please, Mommy.” My kids are really good about manners, for the most part, it’s really …

Jess is off to summer camp – it’s at the local JCC and it’s her first time going. And it’s going really well, she loves it. Trust me – she really does. We battled for literally months about going to kindergarten and there’s been none of that. She’s happy to go each morning, sunshiney delighted …

The sun is out – we had a glorious weekend, and I feel so much more like me today. Jessica Mary danced off to summer camp with a smile on her face, she’s really happy there, which in turn, makes me happy. Marc is off to work and Sam and I are hanging at home …

I’ve been slacking a bit on blogging… no real reason, I’m just lazy these past couple of days. Thursday morning, I didn’t bother getting out of bed until after nine o’clock, which is unheard of for me. By Thursday night, it occured to me that I hadn’t showered since Monday – and I still couldn’t …

Although the title makes it sound as though they’re connected – they aren’t. Just two different topics that I’m thinking about this morning. I converted to Judaism a week ago Monday. Yesterday was Shabbat, and we went to services. Usually, I try to find a sitter, my neighbor Annie usually watches at least Sam for …

Marc came home from work early yesterday, and from the moment he came home, Sam was GLUED to his side. They ate dinner together, they watched Thundar the Barbarian on the computer, they read stories, they acted out Thundar the Barbarian on my bed, they watched more Thundar, he let Marc change him not once, …

In case anyone was interested. Very groggy this morning – both kids ended up in bed with me last night. Marc has been sleeping in Sam’s bed because he’s got this nasty cold thing going on, and both of the cherubs were up a lot. Every now and again, Marc’s boss decides to have a …

We’ve had rain every day in June. This probably isn’t literally accurate – but metaphorically, emotionally, it feels as though it’s been raining and raining and raining. And raining. And I’m cranky and miserable and just so ready for a bit of sunshine, just a little. I’d like to actually use the sunblock I bought. …
