Yesterday started out with something malfunctioning with G’s alarm, causing him to miss davening. Recall that it was a fast day, and he’s the rabbi. Not good. No one was coming after him with a pink slip or anything, but he was quite disturbed on a number of levels. Oops.
As for me, I started out [...]

So sick. Soooo sick.
Feel like I’ve been bursting with stories to tell, things to post, etc., but posting is much too annoying from my new non-Droid phone, and now that I have my new non-Droid phone and can check email and whatnot while lying on my side, it’s been difficult to get myself to sit [...]

I found the Boy’s sandals! Didn’t even have to do the גורל הגר”א. Two friends to whom I was miserably complaining over the last 1+ weeks about how I couldn’t find them had suggested I check the hamper in the living room, because, as you of course already know, the Boy spent two Friday nights [...]

We’re going to try to write something without swearing. Ready? It won’t be easy. If you want to know how I’m really feeling, imagine that everything you read here is laced with profanity.
Wouldn’t it be swell if my heartburn went away? Yes. That would be swell.
Of course, I’d never use such language on a public [...]

Vote in the comments section. If you want to see me swear on this blog — I mean really swear, not the usual somewhat inappropriate language I might use, but really bad words, not becoming — well, anyone, really — say so, and if enough people vote in favor, perhaps I’ll post what I wrote [...]

Don’t miss my heartburn poem, posted earlier today. It’s deeply inspiring. Really.
RS had her ballet recital last week. We got there 45 minutes early, just like I promised her we would. Of course the second we got there, she was all “What am I going to do for all this time?” I almost slugged her. [...]

I do not like heartburn, no I do not.
I do not like heartburn because it is hot.
I do not like how it hurts in my throat and my chest
Heartburn is the worst, it is not the best.
It doesn’t go away all day or all night
No matter what I swallow to try to make it right.
Stupid [...]

Sunday: Mother of all things holy, what hot miserable weather. I can’t tolerate it for more than two minutes. I can barely tolerate being inside, even though baruch Hashem my house is equipped with that modern marvel known as central air conditioning.
My house is full of smoke. FULL. See, my husband stuck some bread in [...]

My son, who has been behaving like a holy terror this evening, grabbed my belly with one hand about an hour ago and shouted “Ball!” Heeheehee. I told him that (contrary to appearances) there was no ball and it was my belly, and he accepted that, and then proceeded to yank his shirt [...]
