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 [...]
It’s 1:25 AM. What do I think I am, 18 years old? I can’t stay up this late. I must be crazy. And I have to make a big, gigantic, huge Shabbos. Guess whether I’ve started or not? Well you see, I’ve been working nonstop for 3 days and 3 nights, so no, I haven’t [...]
Hey – that last post I wrote (put it up late last night – be sure not to miss it, as it contains important theological arguments) was my 100th post! Woohoo!! Who knew? This calls for celebration! Break out the trumpets and pass the diet Coke!

Not so interested in writing right now, either, but the alternative is cleaning rodent cages, so perhaps [...]

Who has time to post on blogs? I’ve been a super-busy girl this last bunch of days. There’s the Boy, of course, as always, or Satan, as we (sometimes) call him, and then there was the Stomach Virus That Would Not End. (”Diarrhea can go on for a while,” saith the doctor. “If it goes [...]
Shabbos was the annual Sisterhood Mother’s Day kiddush, and sort-of-annual female guest speaker that we try to have on Mother’s Day in sort-of conjunction with a national program run through another organization, a program that celebrates women’s achievements in Torah learning. My job was to get the speaker. President Miriam’s job (not me) was… everything [...]
