Mom called earlier. My grandma, who is suffering from multiple forms of cancer, is now finally near death, and they thought she wasn’t going to make it through last night. Apparently, she stopped breathing when my grandfather tried to move her, and they rushed her to the hospital.
She hasn’t regained consciousness yet, though […]

I’m feeling really, really happy right now. Of course, last night was full of serious discussion with Sam, whose school had a mock election and who came home on a bus with kids hanging out of every window, shrieking for Obama. Apparently, Sam got confused and when the announcements at the […]

I run on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays lately. Looking ahead, it’s calling for rain on Thursday and a rain-snow mix on Saturday, so I wanted to make the most of today in case I didn’t feel up to longer runs in inclement weather. Gabe didn’t have school today, which was fortunate in […]

So we get up, as usual, and I get the kids dressed and into the car for various schools, as usual, and I’m on my way to preschool with Gabe, as usual, when something strikes me in the back of the unconsciousness and says, “Dummy! Class party!” and I suddenly remembered that Gabe’s school […]

Snowing out there. Nothing that’s going to accumulate much, but…It’s Here.
In other news, Gabe enjoys writing his name…
…artistically.

There’s a lot happening around here right now, which is making my belly seize up when I contemplate how it’s all going to happen. Today, I knew I had to run a couple of important errands, and I had to get both kids to school. There was a direct conflict between my MOPS […]

Many years from now, some October nineteenth in the future, you may find yourself wanting to hurl yourself into a nearby chair and dramatically proclaim that you’re having the “worst birthday ever!” Not to discount those feelings of that day, but before you make that declaration, I’ll advise you to take into account your […]
