Found a costume in the attic for the Boy that I thought we’d given away years ago. It’s a bit small on him but he was Whinnie the Pooh (is that spelled right?) and he will be again tomorrow. Phew; that’s one crisis I won’t have to face. The girls were their usual array of [...]
Look, this was in my local paper today. They’re exhibiting — and SELLING — original artwork by Dr. Seuss, this Sunday (Purim, that is) at the White Plains library. Whimper whimper I totally need some original artwork by Dr. Seuss. NEED. Accepting donations now.
I think Dr. Seuss is totally perfect for Purim, by the way. [...]
You know that episode of Raymond where he took his sons and his sons’ friend to a sporting event of some kind, and he told them not to bother cleaning up their garbage because that’s what they pay the janitor for? Or something like that? So it turned out that the friend’s father was a [...]

Thinking about the approaching summer fills me with fear and dread. This is perhaps not totally surprising, but still.
I have been stressing about Pesach for two weeks already. -??- This is most unlike me.
I have exploded at my son twice today. What gives?? The kid is only 23 months old. Perhaps my temper is unusually [...]
Twitter was not responsible for my spam problem after all. As a matter of fact, someone or something somehow managed to turn off my spam filter. -?!- It is now back on, however, and the spam has ceased. Funny how that works. If only all problems could be solved so easily. Are there spam filters [...]
Twitter is not worth it. Not only am I totally overwhelmed by spam comments on my blog, to the point that I’ve actually asked my poor suffering bedridden friend to help me figure out what to do about it, but at least in its current incarnation, it hasn’t been so good for me. Fun, yes, [...]
I mean besides deleting spam comments off my blog. Jeez-mon. It’s absurd, what’s happened in the last few days, presumably because I joined Twitter. I imagine that however the new people visiting the blog found me, the spammers found me too. SUCH a pain in the patootie. I hardly think joining Twitter was worth it. [...]

So my statcounter just emailed me my stats, and my eyes bugged out when I saw the number of hits, and a brief glance at the details told me that lots of folks are visiting from Twitter. Heh. I suppose I could have predicted that. Anyway, hi, and I would imagine this blog would be [...]
(following up to this) Boy woke up, Babysitter Allison came to get him, I very gently shifted position so as to keep my legs from going numb and as of this second my computer has not yet shut off, and we were able to reschedule Shabbos with G’s students, which means my beloved uncle from [...]
Doing better than last night, thanks. Long break from copyediting (I maintain that “copyediting” should be one word, so to heck with these spellcheckers), long stretch of quality time and conversation with G whilst doing laundry, large bowl of ice cream; all can work wonders. In the meantime I’m home alone with the kids today, [...]
