It was, in some ways, my best Thanksgiving ever. In some ways, it was really the worst. It started out well. Marc was working on the Wednesday before, so I took all three kids down to Pie Day II at my mother’s house. We had already observed Pie Day I on the Sunday before Thanksgiving. …

Repost from 2009
I started going back thru my old blog posts (really, that’s one of the major perks to having a blog, being able to go back and see where we were, and how much things have changed – and how much they haven’t). In honor of today being December first – I thought I’d repost one …

Growing Pains
My kids are growing up. Each one, in his/her own way, and sometimes it’s beautiful and sweet, and sometimes it’s wistful and kind of sad, and sometimes it’s just irritating and frustrating. We had a rough Thanksgiving, in a lot of ways. (Future post to follow) We had a wonderful Thanksgiving in a lot of …

I’m not a hoarder
Although, as I type it, I’m realizing that if I feel as though I have to formally declare it – I’ve got a problem. But it’s not my fault. Not entirely. I blame the kids. Of course. And Marc. The kids, because they believe that everything, absolutely everything, that they may have touched, played with, …

November 18
It was twenty nine years ago that my grandmother passed away. She was a smoker, and it was a long, slow, excruciating process, watching her die of lung cancer. We had a hospital bed in the living room at their house, and I’ll never forget the way my mother and her siblings took care …

Why I keep yelling at Jewish people
I’m not yelling at Jewish people. Not really. But I have been thinking a lot, lately, about all of the articles and columns and discussions that have been going on all over the place on the internet. I’ve waded in on a few of them, and I know that I need to hold back. Stop. …

Saturday
Marc is working more and more on Saturdays now. Which sucks, for me, on a couple of different levels. One being that it’s Saturday, Shabbat, and I like to spend the day with him and the kids, and the other being that it’s Saturday, and he’s not here to help me with the kids. I’m …

Sick Baby
She’s not a baby anymore. Intellectually, I know that. She’s closer to four than three, has been potty trained for a year and a half, and is more than capable of carrying on in-depth conversations. But, she’s still my baby. And the reason I know that is that last night, she was up every hour. …

A month of thanks
I read a blog post the other day that I loved. Instead of just doing the usual facebook gratitude posts (which I also love, btw), the post has prompts for each day, leading up to Thanksgiving. Today’s prompt was “blessing.” I’m going thru a relatively difficult patch. Actually, we are, as a family. Scheduling concerns, …
