I don’t know if it’s actual depression. Because it feels more like I’m just in a bad mood all the time. And it’s all because of the move. I still haven’t found a place to live, and I feel the clock ticking down to December 1 all the time. I need a three bedroom, deleaded …

My Glennys is back from NH. She moved up there earlier this summer, and my kids have been bereft and miserable without her. I honestly can’t tell you which one is happier, Jessie, Sam,or Julie. Glennys is Jessie’s best friend, and she’s so missing her, but Sam worships Glennys with a love that’s so …

Because he was crying too hard to have it taken. Why? I don’t know – I think it’s got something to do with all the attention – being singled out. He was flat out terrified of it. Woke up crying and was such a wreck about it, in the end, I just gave up …

The whole parenting thing, I mean. Sometimes, I suck at it. Today, in fact, I sucked a lot. I’m super stressed out, my landlord announced that he’s moving back in and we have to find a place in less than a month. I’m financially stressed to the max, emotionally worn out and so tightly wound …

My town looks like a tornado blew thru it. I’ve never seen anything like it, trees down EVERYWHERE. Downed power lines, huge branches and limbs and actual trees just lying dead on the side of the road. It’s horrifying and fascinating and holy moly awful out there. And I’m so grateful to be back home …

First, my disclaimer. I’m a big fan of nursing. Big. In fact, when Julianna went on a nursing strike at three days old, it was one of the worst days of my life. Postpartum hormones combined with no sleep made it impossible for me to grasp that not nursing her didn’t mean that I was …

Marc brings all the kids home from school at quarter of three. On Mondays, Wednesdays and every other Thursday, Jess has either Hebrew School or Brownies, but today is Friday, so they’re all home. Plus Jordyn is here because my friend Sara had to work until three. Jessie came in, hysterical, because she had left …

I just send Marc into the school to volunteer with set up for the Bookfair tonight. I had signed up originally and should be the one doing it, but I’ve been without my Julie girl a lot this week, and I miss her. More to the point, I think she misses me. And when she …

I’ve been thinking a lot, of late, about the baggage we bring to motherhood. About the lessons we learn about childhood and responsibility and growing up, and how that translates to the way we mother our own children. I had, by many standards, an absolutely wonderful childhood. I had a warm, loving relationship with my …

Marc took my Samilicious Boy shopping yesterday. Marc loves quality time alone with a kid, any kid, so he’s always game to bribe them into going shopping with him by letting them pick out a treat at the grocery store. And my son, God bless him, always, always wants those disgusting sticky fruit things. Fruit …
