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 [...]

ATTENTION FRIENDLY HOME HEALTH AID LADY (who my son greeted by shouting “Hi lady!” when she came through the door) WHO HAS COME TO HELP TAKE CARE OF MY FATHER. WE ARE NOT CHRISTIANS. WE ARE JEWS. WE HAVE STATED SO EXPLICITLY NUMEROUS TIMES SINCE YOU ARRIVED HERE FOUR HOURS AGO. ERGO KINDLY CEASE AND [...]
My microwave is dead. My other microwave can’t be kashered (don’t ask, it just can’t be). Ergo I have no microwave for Pesach. Feh.
My house was guzzling so much energy these past two days, I think there’s a special global warming cloud forming over my roof.
I started reading one of the books on my MA [...]

The reason your Pesach pots, etc. [...]

This is the post I promised you, the really really long post that I added to on and off while my computer wasn’t working. Prepare to become educated on the subjects of my minivan, my often-flooding basement, and other sundry things. And if for some reason you missed it, I’ve posted THREE times already this [...]
Have you ever cried during Megillat Esther? Have you ever cried during your kid’s second grade play? Have you ever cried during your kid’s second grade play because your kid’s classmates were acting out Megillat Esther? Have you ever cried during your kid’s second grade play because your kid’s classmates were acting out Esther 8:9–14? [...]
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. [...]

Why does my son have a fanatical opposition to eating the last few bites of food on his tray? This morning he asked for more grapes (”Gips!”) when there were still at least three distinctly visible grape fragments sitting right in front of him. [...]
Why is my son howling hysterically in bed, as he did last night, instead of going to sleep nicely and silently, as he used to do? Last night I ended up rocking him to sleep. Took almost an hour. It was cuddly and delicious and everything, but we are not looking for a repeat. He [...]
