Spring is finally on its way, baby! The weather this week was finally more inviting, and I found my mood initially rising with the outdoor temperature. There is something about leaving the winter coats behind as we swing out the front door in the mornings that is an immediate morale-booster. Not that it’s been a […]
Throwing The Book At Myself
It’s Tuesday morning, and I’ve blown it. I was on a good roll, but then came the inevitable slip. On Monday, schoolbags were properly stocked. Snack and drinks were packed. Any and all permissions slips, tests, etc were signed and deposited into the correct folders. I even managed to get #3 over to the dentist […]
For Noah
I know that the majority of my posts are devoted to the humorous side of portraying parental life; this isn’t one of them. I debated writing this post, because it feels unbearably heavy, and I know that for some, it’ll feel too morose. But one of the goals of writing my blog is not just […]
Shock Value
The cold is here. I knew it was a matter of time before winter would come slamming its frigid way in. Despite being a native New Yorker, I approach each year’s arrival of freezing temperatures with angry denial: “What?? It’s… (cold, freezing, snowing, etc)?? But, I- just- I mean, I don’t understand.“ Don’t get me […]
Happy Holidaze!
I’ve begun to realize that the week before Christmas, for me, is very similar to finals week in college. There is an abundance of very late nights, the frequent appearance of a very grubby sweatshirt, a steady diet of coffee, sugar, and carbs, a few tears, and the feeling of “if I just keep pushing…. […]
Deliverance
As you very well know, I obviously spend a good deal of time posting on here about the trials and tribulations of parenthood, while framing it what is typically a humorous way. I don’t often drift into sentiment, mainly because I find humor an easier medium in which to express myself. But I’ve got the […]
Toe The Line
This week was a birthday week in our house; #3 entered the highly anticipated “double digits”. I say birthday week because although the birthday is actually just a single day, the preparation leading up to said event requires a few days of work on my part. I usually try to be organized and accomplish the […]
Can I Phone A Friend?
As you probably know from prior posts, I’ve been trying to limit my iPhone usage when around my kids, a feat far easier said than done for me. But I try to keep the phone squared away in the cabinet until ideally the kids are either a- not physically present, or b- not in need […]
Leapin’ Lizards!
Maybe the title is wrong. They WERE leapin’. Once. Now? Not so much… So I have a confession to make. Yes, you’ll likely judge me. Or call PETA to report me, and I’ll end up with a bucket of fake lizard’s blood being hurled at my coat in public. It’s time you know what a […]
Pick-y, Picky
As I’ve mentioned previously, I despise the fall, for a number of reasons. But in the spirit of the season, we embarked as a family on the customary, New England required fall family experience: Apple & Pumpkin Picking. For those of you that have not had the thrill of participating in such an event, please […]
