Why is it my son who would go an entire week in the same underwear needs to be constantly reminded that he can wear the same pajamas a couple of nights in a row? Not that that’s the point right now. It’s a genuine question. I simply don’t understand. And why can he remember every [...]
Pie is hooked on the “watch every Hannah ever made!” on Disney, so every evening we tune into Hannah Montana. I often sit with her, and it makes me feel… dirty. But I feel slightly redeemed because tonight’s episode, from 2007, has Larry David in it. Larry David! On Hannah Montana. Somehow, Larry David makes [...]
My friend, D., has twin girls who are about three months older than Doodles. We met when Doodles was about 13 months old and they were 16 months, so I’ve known them awhile. The girls are, let’s call them, Mimi and Nevada, because the first initial thing just gets old. Mimi has been in Doodles’s [...]
This was the plan for tonight: Adam comes home early to put Pie to bed. I take Doodles to his first Track and Field class. We come home, Doodles goes to bed, Adam makes me a martini. I serve the lovely shrimp ceviche for our dinner, followed by some lovely chocolate chip cookies baked this [...]
My little man is starting to develop a Napoleon Complex. Of course, as his mother, I’m aiding and abetting, albeit unwittingly. Doodles’s school fundraising auction was last Friday. (Side note: my boy has a super cute podcast up on his school’s website. If you know the name of the school, look at the podcast on [...]

Don’t call. No really. Don’t call. Because my iPhone is hanging out in a bag of rice. I think it just got hungry. It’s not because I’m angling for the new iPhone and so I dropped it in a sink of water and had to dry it out in rice. And it’s definitely not because [...]
Doodles had computer time while Pie had her show. Me: What do you want to watch? Pie: Um, do we have Sonny with a Chance? Me: Uh, no. Pie: Can you check and see if it’s on live TV? I check. Me: It’s not. Pie, sighing: Okay, then I guess I’ll watch Hannah Montana. Me: [...]
I went to Starbucks this morning. So I made myself a cup of coffee. To bring with me. Because Starbucks isn’t serving coffee. Duh. It’s teacher appreciation week. And, somehow, I ended up co-chairing it with Beetle. I seem to recall the previous chair saying things like, “Oh it’s practically nothing.” “You seem like a [...]
