Maybe if I do this meme, Mocha Momma will let me touch her hair at BlogHer
The lovely Kelly of Mocha Momma (featured in a BlogHer interview by Surrender, Dorothy author and Sleep is for the Weak editor, Rita Arens) told me to do this meme.
That’s right, she told me to. And while I’m used to giving the orders around here, I can take direction too. That said, this […]

Out of character
I’ve been mulling over the Miley Cyrus/Hannah Montana/Vanity Fair brouhaha, trying to figure out why I’m more bothered by the vehemence in many of the opinions being voiced than by the photo itself.
I’ll admit that I don’t know much about Miley Cyrus or the character Hannah Montana, but I think the key word here is […]

Odds and ends
Does anyone else SQUEEZE the box of wine when it’s almost empty in a misguided attempt to drain it of that last half-ounce? Or am I the only trashy boxed-wine drinker out there?

I was “hey-babied” yesterday by a couple of high school kids. The creepy part was that I was wearing Oliver in the […]

The Parental is Political - Do you know how the Iraq War is being funded?
Mile High Mamas - It’s a slippery slope from weekend hikes to week-long “leave no trace” camping trips.
Now back to dreading Oliver’s first round of vaccinations this afternoon and preparing for Tacy’s birthday tomorrow.

As Chuck D said, bring the noise
Tacy: I know how to get five dollars from Daddy.
Me: Oh really? How’s that?
T: If all three kids don’t cry for an entire day, he’ll give us each five dollars.
Me: Interesting.
T: Of course it probably won’t happen.
Me: You’re probably right.

Would you believe that my three year-old cries more than my two month-old? And […]

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz…
Too tired and too busy to do more than ask questions, show pictures, and issue reminders…

What is your philosophy regarding disciplining other people’s children? How do you react when another child misbehaves toward your child - at a playdate at your house, at a playgroup, in a public playspace?
How do you handle it when […]

Maternal instincts
Updated below…
The baby gear has begun to roll in, thanks to that behemoth known as Amazon.com, thereby keeping me away from the brick-and-mortar hell of Babies-r-Us.
I bid farewell to baby gear like the Bjorn and the Boppy when one of Tacy’s daycare teachers became pregnant about two years ago. But it was last May, […]

From the womb to a room
This baby will be the first (and only) one of our children to come home from the hospital to an actual bedroom that is his and his alone.
When Tacy was born, we were still living in the city - a one-bedroom apartment mere blocks from the hospital. Her cradle - not that she ever […]

Future shiksas?
When Tacy came home from school a couple weeks ago bearing a construction paper menorah she’d made that day, I was pleasantly surprised. Later that evening, when she presented me with this creation, I was even more pleasantly surprised:
Not fully accurate, but a good try for a gentile, don’t you think?
But when she brought […]

How could I have jinxed myself when I didn’t even blog about it?
The first night we put CJ to bed in her new big girl bed, she turned onto her tummy and hugged her Lambie and that was that. She slept past eight the next morning.
The next night, she cast a glance at the glider (which has been moved into the master bedroom in anticipation of […]
