I’m totally into Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip; the show is awesome. But one thing is bugging me: how is it possible to have a live 11:30 p.m. show on the West Coast? Does it air at 2:30 a.m. on the East Coast? Jordan says in an interview, “Tune in at 11:30,” implying that [...]

He’s not toilet trained. But he knows how to procrastinate. “Time for bath!” “I need to use the potty!” So he sits on the potty, reading his Richard Scarry’s Cars, Trucks and Things That Go book. “I need privacy,” he yells, so we have to shut the door and just periodically call from outside, “Everything [...]

The screaming. Oh the screaming! Bloody murder, ain’t-going-to-have-any-of-it screaming. That little monkey screamed for a full hour tonight. She didn’t want up. She didn’t want down. She didn’t want food. She didn’t want to be sung to. Adam walked in and I immediately passed her off. He changed her diaper, checked her for hairs wrapped [...]

The benefit of having kids whose birthdays are a mere two days apart is that I can really gauge where Pie is in terms of Doodles. Not that I’m comparing them, but it’s merely a point of reference. I commented to Adam that I so clearly remember when Doodles found his feet. We dropped him [...]

I’m finally out from under. I had a major writing job (which I’m still working on), a copyedit job, a proofreading job, a book review, a kids’ event at our synagogue I was co-chairing, and hosting a baby shower for a neighbor. Of course, this was in the middle of Doodle’s transition from day care [...]

At the playground, Doodles started shouting from across the park: “Sweetie! Give me a beer! Give me a beer, Sweetie! I need a beer!” What goes through that little head? I went to pick Doodles up from preschool last Friday and the teacher says to me, “So you’re headed to New York now?” Um, no. [...]

Oh, but she is a clever little monkey. I’m not sure if I should be impressed by her will and determination or frustrated by, well, her will and her determination. I think it’s a little of both. Basically, in the battle between the Pie and the Br*east, the Pie is winning, 1-0. She has managed, [...]

Wondering what’s going on in my life? Well I have just one more week of reduced childcare and then I will (sort of) have my life back. But right now I’m drowning, simply drowning in all of the stuff that needs to get done, staying up way too late at night and being way too [...]

In the morning, Sweetie cries to get our attention. When I come into her room, she sits up, gives a huge smile, and claps, a little, “Yeah! You’re here!” I bring her into our bed and lay her down to feed her. When I open my br*a now, Sweetie actually says, “Hello!” to my br*east. [...]

You people are definitely getting gypped with my blog. So many weeks I think I have nothing to blog and I have to make due. But lately, I’ve thought of a zillion things to tell all of you… but I don’t have any time to do so. I’ve been stretched so thin,I’ve had to let [...]
