10. Guilt. I’m the master of it, and there’s nobody I give it to more than myself. I must go on, because I feel guilty about all the things undone. 9. Sheer stubbornness. I do not give up easily. 8. Coffee. There’s something reassuring about old routines, and I’ve always kind of associated coffee with […]

Honeybunch, you are indeed “allowed” to go to your room, and I suggest you go when told, regardless of your misconception. No, sending you there doesn’t make Daddy a bad person, nor a bank robber, as you so eloquently stated, and I seriously doubt he’s going to go to jail as a result. But nice […]

If there are no more questions, class is dismissed. Edit/note from birthday … uh… girl: it’s amazing how much wittier my writing gets with my husband knowing my […]

Patricia Rodriguez discussed in a Tuesday column the difficulties and pleasures of travelling with children, as opposed to adult travelling. Since I haven’t posted but once since my own newest arrival on the first, it seemed like an appropriate way to jump back in. Forget about dipping my toes into the waters of travel; it’s […]

I guess you gotta be careful whom you believe on April Fools Day, and whom you let have your blog password! Dear, sweet hubbie… loveable yet unmanageable prankster… was delighted that our David Nathan was born on April Fools Day. So excited, in fact, that he began calling family members while I slept after childbirth. […]
