Hanukkah!

December 21, 2011

On Sunday we celebrated Hanukkah with my family.  Michael got a Happy Napper, to add to his collection of about 82 million pillow pets. (And yes, that is a lovely shot of my finger in that picture.) There was also the extensive collection of Harry Potter Legos, and about a million other toys. We started [...]

I Thank The Lord For The People I Have Found

May 26, 2011

I am the least religious person alive.  I may be Jewish, but I also married a non-Jew, and then I demanded my child be raised Jewish.  (This is so not the point of this post.)  So the "thanks the lord" is an "expression" as Michael likes to say. The point of this post is this. [...]

Staycation

April 18, 2011

I took this week off of work, for the first time ever I took off just because Michael's school was closed.  I normally work through school breaks and put him in his after care program.  But truth is he hates that and I've gotten leave coming out of my ass and I need a break [...]

Two Quick Things

April 16, 2011

I know, no one reads blogs on weekends but the weather sucks in DC, so what else are we doing? (I should be cleaning for Passover.  And exercising.) 1.  There is still time to enter my contest for a Scout bag.  I can not express how much I love these bags, and everyone who sees [...]

Work It Out

March 7, 2011

Michael came home from school on Thursday complaining of a terrible headache.  His teacher had written me a note that he had a headache at the end of the day and it just got worse as the day went on.  I gave him some tylenol and he was still up all night complaining and unable [...]

Spiraling Into A Life Of Crime

February 28, 2011

Friday was a crazy a day.  I had a ton of errands to run, but I ended up getting stuck at work even though I don't normally work on Fridays.  I got called into a meeting and then I had a fire I needed to put out.  I left with just enough time to run [...]

I Like Your Love

December 13, 2010

We started doing Friday night Shabbat dinners a while ago around here.  Michael came home from Sunday school asking me why we don't celebrate Shabbat and since I didn't have an answer, we do now.  Michael also insists most Fridays that we invite someone, "because Shabbat should be shared Mommy.  My teacher said so."  (Remind [...]

Now That It is Over, Why Not Talk About Hanukkah?

December 9, 2010

I have somehow failed as a Jewish Mommyblogger.  I mean, I have both a random Jewishness category and random parentness category and I have not once mentioned Hanukkah.  Really, it is because Hanukkah was low key for us this year.  We were away for part of it and my parents gave Michael our presents.  But [...]

Anyone Know A Pillow Pet Exterminator?

November 28, 2010

How was everyone's Thanksgiving?  Mine was wonderful with food and wine and family and only one food disaster that involved the worst creamed spinach known to man.  Seriously.  But everything else was super yummy and after cooking for days what more can you ask for?  Perhaps a lovely table.  I also had that.   After [...]
