“A boy at school today told me that I wasn’t going to go to heaven because I don’t believe in Jesus.” We were lying down last night, just before she drifted off to sleep, when my nine year old rolled over and told me that. I was… stumped. I had no idea how to …

I woke up this morning late. Actually, I woke up early, but refused to get out of bed. By the time I wandered out of my bedroom, my entire living room had been turned into a giant barbie house. With blocks and trucks and blankets and assorted other figurines. The entire living room. As I …

I had to go to the registry today to update my voter registration and get a copy of my title for the dead van so that we can get rid of it. Marc and I both went, as we were both on the inactive voter list. We had to wait for over an hour, and …

Home safe and sound with my son after a very exciting weekend at Treasure Valley Boy Scout reserve in Rutland. On the way there Friday night, Sammy asked why it was called Treasure Valley – did it have a lot of buried treasure? I told him I didn’t think so, but maybe the treasure was …

I love babies. I do. I love infancy, with blankets and onesies and pacifiers and up all night and spit up everywhere. I love swings and strollers and slings, and baby socks and pureed bananas and nursing. I love rolling over, and sitting up, and those first steps and first words. The main reason I …

I’m in a crappy mood. Not a crappy mood, a depressed mood. Not serious – just verging on it, it’s because of the dream. You know when you have a really realistic dream, and it’s awesome – and then you wake up and realize that it was just a dream? That’s what happened to me …

I was always interested in birth order, because I’m the oldest and we’re stereotypically into weird stuff like that. I am very much a typical first born, I grew up fast, assumed a lot more responsibility than I probably needed to, and have always had a nagging feeling that my life would have been easier …
