Sitting This One Out
Here I sit, in the waiting room at the Doctor’s office. I completely forgot to bring anything to do while I was here. Usually, I will bring my laptop computer so that I can either get my blog post written or if there is wireless (Hallelujah!) I can check email! Or, ...

Sick of it!
What to do when a real mother doesn’t feel good? I woke up today kind of queasy, with a headache that felt like Gene Krupa was performing a drum solo behind my left eyebrow . I thought for a moment – if I didn’t have 3 kids, a house to run and a job to do, would I...
Too much fun?
Have you ever had one of those weekends where you were just having too much fun? 3 birthday parties, dinner with friends, a Dodger game on Sunday and brunch with the extended family. Sometimes we group our "fun activities" in such a way that we are having so much fun,...
Summer better than others (getting the most out of the rest of your summer)
This summer I didn’t make very many plans for the kids. This is something I learned after many summers with the children going to three different camps and three different locations.
