On Saturday, we were at services at the Beth Israel all morning. On the way out of the synagogue, Sam was walking backwards. We were all going to the car, so it was easy enough for him do it. I reminded him to step DOWN off the curb (because he couldn’t see it), and Marc …

Another April Vacation
I love April vacation. Of the three, December, February, and April, I think February is the most challenging, December is the one less about vacation and more about just decompressing after the stress of the holiday drama that inevitably takes over that month. April is just fun. The weather is wonderful, the kids are ready …

He still cleans the vomit
Marc and I have been together for more than 13 years. Our youngest child is coming up on her fifth birthday this month, and it’s safe to say that the honeymoon period is over. We didn’t really have a honeymoon period though. Marc and I jumped into parenthood almost immediately. He was a parent already, …

I miss writing
I’ve still got computer problems, complicated by the fact that I still have internet access so it doesn’t always FEEL like I’ve got computer problems. I can still email and facebook, but serious writing now requires me digging the lap top out of Jessie’s room, plugging it in in the living room and blogging with …
