It’s been a good month. We did start on a particularly low note, I’ll be honest. But June will go down as the month where it all turned around. – Kids are out of school for the summer and it’s glorious. Not all the time, sure, there are squabbles and so, so many dishes. But …

Lessons Learned 2015-2016
It’s been an… interesting year. One kid in seventh, one in third and one in kindergarten, I started the year in a much different place than I’m ending. Last year, at this time, I had just returned to the workforce after more than a decade as a stay at home mom. And on my …

I think we’re good
Had our appointment with the neurologist this afternoon. It was lovely, because…. we didn’t really need to go. She answered some questions, we had a lovely chat, but really, I think we’re good. We had an appointment on Monday with our neuro-opthamologist, and we’ve got another follow up in a month. After that – our …

Oh My God – I’m exhausted
I went on Julianna’s field trip today – and a trip to the zoo with five six year olds WORE ME OUT. If there’s any thought that maybe I could have another baby… please remind me of this. My feet hurt, I’m irritable and begging my kids to please, please, please just stop squabbling for …

He still cleans the vomit
Marc and I have always had a division of labor. I’m proud to call myself a feminist, but also well aware that I tend towards a very traditional definition of femininity and motherhood. Marc kills the bugs, handles the trash and yes, cleans the puke. When the kids were little, it was a little …

Happy Birthday to my love
I used to worry sometimes. Not worry. I used to notice that I had a very peaceful life. No real strife, or drama. My kids were healthy and growing – they might have fought or squabbled or sobbed, but that’s normal. My marriage was peaceful, with a man that I loved. We never had a lot …

Ode to Lucky
This goofy little dog. Looking back, getting an epileptic, non-housebroken dog three days after Sam had the biking accident seems like it would have been a mistake. But in reality, it was the best decision. Lucky Charms is simply the perfect dog for our family. He’s the right size, small but still looks like a …

To the other people in the elevator
I wasn’t abusing my son. I know it looked like I was. He was obviously miserable and in considerable discomfort, and I did, in fact, have my arms wrapped around him and was dragging him out of the car. I did, in fact, use my leg to knee him in the butt to get him …

He ate salad
Sam’s eating again. Not a lot, and the list of food he can’t tolerate is significantly longer than the list of food that he can. He can eat peeled apples, salad (lettuce, cucumbers, croutons and salad dressing), and white rice. French fries. He can drink ginger ale and water. And that’s such a stunningly huge …

Legit wiped out
I’m exhausted. I keep falling asleep – I couldn’t stay awake after lunch and ended up passing out on the couch for ten or fifteen minutes. It’s 7:18, and I’m barely making it until it’s time to put down Julie. And that’s after a huge coffee around three. Sam’s asleep now, Jessie’s in her room …
