I don’t think I want to. I’ve got to think about birth control. My baby is five, which means that birth control I’ve been using for the past five years needs to be addressed. Thinking of that just reminds me that I actually haven’t had a physical in about ten years, maybe longer. I don’t …

A Good Dad
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 …

April Vacation 2015
One thing I’m grateful for is that I really did make a point of recognizing that you only get one April vacation a year. Which is to say that while I’ve done April vacation every year since Jessica started school seven years ago, each one was specific and distinct from the others. This is the …

She’s too big for this
I know that. My almost five year old would still rather be on my hip than not. She likes to be picked up and carried, and I indulge her. I didn’t do this with the others. Not really. Of course, with the others, I had another baby coming along when they were three or four …

Strong in a crisis
We all think we’ll be tough. We’ll be strong, when we need to be. If the chips are down, we’ll stand up to the challenge. At least, I did. But the truth is that I completely crumbled. Marc was working from home today, and so I roped him into kid pick up. It’s a two …

Sam sleeps on the floor
There it is. That’s the truth – my eight year old sleeps on the dining room floor. I don’t know why. He’s got a bed. He’s got bunk beds in his room, so he’s actually got two beds. And he likes his bedroom. He spends hours in there, playing with legos or watching minecraft videos. …

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 …

I love my computer guy
I’m not a computer girl. My mind doesn’t really flow in that computer-jargon sort of way. For example, I know that this computer that I’m typing on is black. I couldn’t tell you what KIND of computer it is, or what operating system it uses. But I do know that it was working for a …
