Okay – I admit it, it’s a lot of posting lately. But I’m out of books, and with sick kids, I haven’t made it down to the library to get something to read, so I have to write instead 🙂 Sam is still throwing up, and Julie threw up for the first time this morning. …

I think we all know that mornings are not my best time. Left to my own devices, I’d sleep until nine or ten, and then not go to bed until after midnight. But I have kids, and school in the mornings, and thus, I adapt. Sadly, my children are just like me. Mornings are rarely …

My kids are sick. Vomit everywhere, and it’s one of those situations that make me profoundly grateful to have a partner. Being raised by a single parent, I’m achingly aware of how hard it is to parent alone, and consistently surprised, even after nine years of raising children together, how very NICE it is to …

My kids don’t throw up. As a rule. They just don’t. Colds, sure. Allergies like you wouldn’t believe, the two older ones cough and sneeze their way thru the spring and fall. But throwing up (with the exception of vomit from excessive coughing and post-nasal drip in the middle of the night) is so rare. …

Friday was Earth Day at the Ecotarium, and I loved it. I brought my three, plus two extra on the theory that if you’re going to the Eco, you should always bring extras. We bought our first membership to the Ecotarium nine years ago, and it’s completely, completely worth it. With a large family, …

We spent the whole week busy, busy, busy – and yet I’m having a hard time articulating what we did. There were baths given, meals cooked, naps taken and playgrounds visited. We saw cousins and aunts and grandmothers, and mostly spent the entire week outside. Sam had a tick in his ear. It had been …

Not that we’re interfaith, technically. I did convert to Judaism – we’re all of the same faith. BUT – and it’s a big but, in my opinion, we are different. Marc is very devout, especially around keeping kosher for Passover. And I am not. At best, I really enjoy the seders (when I can actually …

This is what Julie has been telling me all morning. We’re having the “Irish Seder” tomorrow night and the only turkey I could find is frozen solid. So I tossed it into the tub and Julie is flat out delighted by it. Of course, she’s always happy when someone OTHER than her is taking a …

During Passover, observant Jews aren’t supposed to eat bread. Or pasta. Or cereal. And Marc keeps kosher for Passover, and oddly enough, so do my kids. I love Passover, it’s one of my favorite Jewish holidays, but I don’t love keeping kosher for Passover. I really don’t like matzoh, which is the staple of our …

I blame myself. For pretty much all of it. To be fair, I also give myself credit when things are going well. When the kids are well behaved, healthy, happy. But when there are problems – I’m pretty sure it’s all my fault. Case in point, my little Samilicious Boy. His teacher is recommending …
