Please don’t judge me. I almost didn’t find the courage to share this. I am about to inflict pesticide-ridden strawberries on a whole group of innocent, cherubic, nursery-school children. I am the helper at our co-op nursery school on Wednesday, and J requested strawberries. Repeatedly. Today I went grocery shopping, and there weren’t any organic … [Read more…]
The girls are outside playing in the snow. I was just singing a song to them as they got ready. It goes like this: Snow pants! You keep my buttocks dry! Snow pants! I simply don’t know why Anyone would want to go Out there in the snow Without. . . [here you begin the … [Read more…]
Phew! It’s exciting to have a little snow after such a barren winter, even if I was scared to drive to the grocery store today. If you’re thinking of sledding, you’ll find the the post here–please add your suggestions. We managed to fritter the day away even though we remained housebound. I was dealing with … [Read more…]
My cute husband and I have this shorthand we use, which is “feel my thirst”. It comes from that classic scene in White Men Can’t Jump in which Gloria (Rosie Perez) is lying in bed with Billy (Woody Harrelson), and she tells him that she’s thirsty. I couldn’t believe that this clip wasn’t on Youtube. … [Read more…]

We thought that Fantastic Mr. Fox had passed us by–especially tragic since my sweet husband had run out … [Read more…]
As, in, I’m toast. We’ve hosted 12 different relatives, eaten through 4 or 5 batches of magic cookie bars, and been school-free for over a week now.  I was on the phone with my mom yesterday trying to help her Priceline some hotel reservations from her car during their marathon trip back home. This is … [Read more…]
Guess what? I figured out how to find the statistics on the number of people who’ve looked at the blog, and it was more than 9! Yay! It gives me the energy to keep plugging away. I’m going to try to learn how to make my links prettier, for one thing. And one of my … [Read more…]
I wish that I had fabulous things for you today during your long wait for bedtime. Do you have something for me to do? The only things I find are church services and lights-looking, and those are in the evening. Dude, it is 4 or 5 hours until the evening. One thing I thought that … [Read more…]
