I had a mom friend over yesterday who was telling me about this new phenomenon in affluent communities called reshirting, a term taken from high school sports. Though I played my share of high school sports, and though I have three children, and though Sunshine is in kindergarten, I had never heard of redshirting. [...]

If Johnny wore a mouthguard…

I use a bite guard at night to protect my teeth from falling apart. Every time I go to the dentist, he finds more cracks in my teeth. He tells me I need a $375 custom-made bite guard. I tell that I if had the money to buy a $375 bite guard [...]
The funny thing about blogging
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged blogging on January 23, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
I am a relative newbie in the blogging world. Had it not been for my editing job last year, I probably never would have even read a blog, never mind write one myself. I had pictured blogs as being these uber-opinionated stumps from which lunatics could rant, or daily mundane experts from a bored [...]
Pick your (bisphenol A) battles

Hubby came home the other day, dropped his backpack on the floor, walked over to the cabinet, pulled out our Nalgene bottles, and threw them all away. His school, Tufts University Medical School, just released a study showing that bisphenol A, a chemical that Nalgene uses in its bottles, causes all sorts of [...]

“Baby, Baby, what do you say?”
“Baby, Baby, come out and play.”
“Please eat one more piece of fruit.”
“If you do, I’ll buy you a seersucker suit.”
This was my afternoon and evening. Rhyming everything I said for three hours with Baby, even when he wasn’t listening or in the same room. This is what happens [...]

Yesterday, hubby was uploading music onto our iPod (part of our on-going campaign to stay hip) to go to the gym, and when I looked at his “pumping iron” playlist, I cracked up. “Honey, I’m pretty sure there has been some good music released since AC/DC and Poison were touring.” All his songs [...]
Consciously enjoying my wine

I’m not one to make New Year’s resolutions. And it’s not because I disapprove of them, or think they are a waste of time. I am simply too lazy. I don’t want to think about all the things that need repair in my life, and then sketch a plan on how to [...]

My last entry was Sept. 2006. Can you guess when Baby was born. October 2006. I don’t think I need to explain more, so I’ll just jump back in where I left off.
Almost.
So now I’m home with THREE, still married to med student (who graduates in four months– woohoo!, but then [...]
