I don’t usually buy into that business of telling people they shouldn’t be upset about whatever they’re upset about because there are other people in the world with worse problems. The way I see it, there will ALWAYS be someone in the world with worse problems than someone else in the world. That doesn’t mean [...]

Here’s what I did today. I appear, in this post, to switch back and forth between present and past tense. I don’t know why I do this, and I don’t care. I just don’t want you to think I’m not aware of it.
7:30 AM: Woke up after a largely sleepless night, in spite of my [...]
Ugh. Ugh.
The thing with driving carpool and being stuck in horrible traffic for over an hour when it’s over 90 degrees outside and you’re pregnant and spitting and you use up all the tissues and can’t reach the other box, is that if you had just listened to the traffic report instead of texting with [...]
RS has been sick for two days. Terrible nausea, plus high fever, which I can tell because she’s on fire, though I haven’t taken her temperature. Yesterday she said she was going to come downstairs, but then she couldn’t, because… G had made eggs for breakfast for himself and the twins (God bless summer, when [...]

This is my dumb random update of random things, because yesterday and so far today I have felt too sick to study. Not too sick to watch SVU, however. I’ve never seen Stabler cry before.
I’m not getting a Droid phone after all. What I’m getting is this other kind of phone, which [...]
That title just about sums it up.
YS actually does have a mild case of restless legs. She needs to take Melatonin every night, once the drugstore gets her special kiddie dosage, which should happen today. Who knew? She’s very pleased, and has already upped her bedtime drama in response. The truth is I’m not surprised, [...]
I didn’t go to the parade. Last year, not being pregnant or anything, I went to the parade; today I didn’t go to the parade, though G and the kids did. I made the right decision, but I’m sad. Anyway, they had a good time, and thank heavens the Boy didn’t go berserk [...]
Don’t ask me that right now.
“You taught me what love is,” I often say to RS, my firstborn. “I thought I knew what love was, but when you were born I realized I never really knew.”
