Last week was school vacation week, which meant all regular activities (like music class and ice skating class) were canceled and I needed to come up with a game plan. On the days that Pie had day care, Doodles and I had a lot of fun. It’s weird going out with him now as I [...]

Following in the Brittney Spears tradition, Adam and I decided to take the kids clubbing last Sunday. We headed for a bar in the city, got the kids liquored up, and then let them loose on the dance floor. Well, sort of. It was Baby Loves Disco, which is apparently making its way around the [...]

Doodles has been asking a lot of tough questions lately. About life. God. Sex. He asked me the other day: Doodles: How do people get built?Me: People aren’t built. They are born like animals are born.Doodles: How do they get born?Me: Mommies and daddies make children.Doodles: And they go in the mommies’ bellies?Me: Yep.Doodles: And [...]

Adam is back from his travels and life is back to the way it’s always been. You know, loud, chaotic, and messy. But with nightly relief for me. Just like it’s supposed to be. Today Doodles and I had one of those perfect New England days that make me happy we live here. The weather [...]

And all the mice are tucked happily into their (or my, as the case may be for the older child) beds and I am officially off duty. That fourth snow shoveling completely did me in and I know that tomorrow the walkway and driveway are going to be a sheet of ice, but for now, [...]

The sweet potato muffins are in the oven. I’m headed out for my fourth and final shovel of the day (I was worried about how I’d get my exercise while Adam was out of town. I think this falls under the “Be careful what you wish for.”). Pie is amusing herself by spilling milk out [...]

And our second Abort! of the morning. Pie couldn’t wait to get outside in the snow. Doodles wanted nothing to do with it. Once outside, Pie didn’t want anything to do with it. Doodles couldn’t get enough. We lasted twenty minutes (which is probably all someone Pie’s age should be out there anyway)and I dragged [...]

Abort! Abort! I made it halfway up the hill around the corner before my van did a slow skid out. Freaked me out, I turned around, and now we’re back home, much to the disappointment of my kids. Doodles really wanted to go out… but he doesn’t want to go outside. I said, “We’ll throw [...]

My son just announced, “I’m exhausted!” Can’t for the life of me figure out why. They’ve gotten one show this morning as it was the only way I could outside and shovel without worrying about what they were getting into. Of course, moments after I shoveled the plow came and now I need to reshovel [...]
