Finding Grace

September 15, 2010

You guys, you guys are amazing. Right after I posted yesterday's post I expected at least one comment like, "shut up, stop whining my g-d you are a whiner" and no, not a one. All I got was support and love and understanding. But really, I have been whining a little too much lately. I [...]

September 8, 2010

Rosh Hashanah begins tonight, and with it the beginning of a new Jewish year. While I would never consider myself particularly religious, Judaism is important to me, and we celebrate as most Jews do, with a big meal and we will go to synagogue tomorrow. We actually joined the synagogue, for the first time as [...]

Party and Bullshit

September 7, 2010

We had a weekend of nothing, and yet, we had so much stuff to do. Friday night we took Michael out to dinner to celebrate a successful first weekend of Kindergarten, and then Saturday we had his last Occupational Therapy appointment, as Michael has graduated. Saturday night Doug and I had a date night, and [...]
