I’m not good at it. She’s only four, and I find myself thinking that the sleep will do her more good than the two hours of playing and running around that she’s going to do. Plus it’s swim today, and Girlfriend hates swim. I know she has to learn, I know it’s part of the …

It’s here, the season is upon us. I’ve bought my Thanksgiving turkey (actually, I bought two, one for my mother’s house and one for Shabbat dinner this weekend). We’ve got our plans for Thanksgiving finalized – on Wednesday night, I’ll take my oldest daughter down to my mother’s so we can get up super early …

I’ve been on a writing haitus lately – for a bunch of reason. Some of them time-related, some of them mood-related (because when I write, whatever I’m thinking or feeling comes out first, and I don’t think anyone really likes reading my rants about my schedule). But despite the time challenges, despite the chores and …

I like to vote. I registered to vote on my eighteenth birthday, and have proudly voted ever since. (photo from Blue Nation Review) I believe in voting. I believe that women, especially, have to vote, because it wasn’t all that long ago that we were considered incapable of it. I still remember the utter shock …

(just part of why I’m exhausted these days…) It’s all I retained from high school French. Mom phrases, as it turns out. I can also demand that my kids comply “tout suite!” and I’ve been known to holler out “Avec Moi!” But mostly, I just say I’m tired. I’m exhausted today because I stayed up …

We do Halloween in our house. We do most holidays, but Halloween, where it’s socially acceptable to ask for and then eat candy all the live long day – that one is one of the more popular. Every year, we buy pumpkins and then Marc carves them. Without fail. I don’t think I’ve carved a …

(I love this pic from a Hanukkah several years ago….) It’s always at this time of year that I start thinking more about interfaith issues. After last year, I promised myself that I was going to go off-line for the month of December. Close myself in a little cocoon, and surround myself only with people …

I’m not particularly loving this stage of my life. I hate typing that, because I know damn well that once I admit it, it’s going to get worse. But the past few months have been especially challenging for me, and I’m struggling. I’m not working, I’m not at home, I’m certainly not writing as much …

It’s Tuesday, and I’m a happy girl. A slightly stressed, wishing I had about four extra hours today because there’s no way I’ll get everything done, content girl. It was a crazy busy weekend, but one of those that was filled with good friends, family connections and holiday celebrations. Saturday night, Marc’s cousin got married …

I started this blog back in January 2008, which means I’ve got close to seven years of steady blogging. But lately, blogging is getting harder and harder. Everything is different now, my schedule is all over the place, and I’m missing out on that TIME. The quiet time when it’s just me and the computer …
