The house is quiet this morning.
Katie is back at school after being home for the Jewish high holidays. Being home for the holidays is particularly stressful when you don’t celebrate said holidays… Then, you’re just home. Of course, the weather has been terrible - rainy and stormy - something for [...]
This is what I need: some time to clear my head.
But that’s the funny thing about being a mom, huh? That time to clear your head never really happens. Cause even when you’re off, you’re on as a mother.
Slowly, though, I’m beginning to make sense of some things…

It’s that time of year again. The time when I complain incessantly about the neighbors’ cats.
Let me just say, before the fur starts to fly, that I happen to like cats. I grew up with cats and had one at my house for 21 years. Yep, an old cranky Siamese that I [...]
I keep staring at the screen, thinking that I need to catch everyone up. There’s a lot in my head but it’s tempered with three weeks of constant vomiting, crying and mystery infections.

I’ve missed a few days’ blogging here and there. Things have [...]
Tomorrow, October 16, we will officially take our home off of the market. You can bet I’ll have lots to say about that later.
In related news, I have continued my “downsizing” of priorities by resigning from one of my volunteer positions. I have agonized over this decision for months and finally did it last week. [...]
Thanks for your emails wondering how I am… Sorry for the gap in posting.
Here’s the short skinny:
Chris is in Germany.
Amy has started her preschool, three half days per week, loves it but the schedule is wearing for me.
Katie loves kindergarten. And she has kindly brought home germs for the rest of the family.
Amy’s breathing and [...]
I am tired. As in bone-settling tired.
Chris says today, “I know that we are going to have to do this in shifts, but I’m going to need a nap.” The result? Chris napping on the sofa, Charlie napping in his crib, me dealing with fussy girls who refuse to nap - [...]
