Preschool starts back next week (Glory!). I have a bone to pick with preschool. If preschool were nicer, it wouldn’t have abandoned me all summer in the raging, never-ending heat. Where were you preschool while I tried to keep the boys alive under the Elmo sprinkler? Where were you while they ate their ice pops in the bathtub because [...]
I am going crazy. I used to only feel this way at the end of the day, mostly when I was out of Chai. Now I am ferociously neurotic and weepy from the moment Toby pokes me awake in the morning, to the moment he pokes me awake the next morning. Just the fact that [...]
I know I haven’t written on my blog since, oh I don’t know, the Bush years, but believe me, I’m just saving my Shalom here. Nothing makes mommy grouchier than interrupted concentration.

Oh, the loveliness of winter. And by lovely, I of course mean banishment to the lonely prison of our living room with just the bickeringly swell company of each other. It should be cozy. It was cozy in November. Now it is the guilt-inducing festival of Noggin. Want to watch Backyardigan’s? Dora? Oswald? Sure! In [...]
That is my kitchen right now. It is a “landfill”. I am trying not to notice because: a) My last post was one WEEK ago.b) I am currently reading Twilight and it is literature *crack*.c) My dear husband went to a movie and I am NOT going to spend my golden alone time vacuuming. Insert [...]
My dear friend Jessica asked me recently if I knew of any good train videos for boys. I broke out into evil laughter because our DVD cabinet is like the Blockbuster of live locomotion. So, if you are in the market for some little boy *crack* here is a synopsis of Toby’s favorites: Real Trains [...]
