This is what I call my children. When I’m speaking of them, or calling them to go somewhere… and today I had all four of them. I find it fascinating – there are four children, two of them by one woman, and two from another. They have the same father, but different everything else. My …

When Mommy’s not happy, nobody is happy
This apparently rings true even if you are almost 35 and live two towns away. My mother is having a crappy day, no real reason, she’s just grouchy. And unfortunately… talked to me this morning, and now I’m all grumpy and out of sorts. Actually, I’m working hard on improving my mood. Although I’m freaking …

Identity
When you have kids, or rather, when I had Jessica, my identity changed. Becoming a mother just superceded everything. And because it happened so closely to the time when Marc and I became a couple, I don’t always feel like that aspect of my life, that of a wife, really gets enough attention. Then after …

Trick or Treat
Halloween was great this year – I really, really enjoyed it. Jessica was dressed up as Dorothy, with the dress and ruby slippers, and I put her hair in two little braids, she carried a basket with a stuffed dog in it. Sam was supposed to be Batman – but at the last minute, refused …

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow
I’m officially ready for winter. Both my kids have hats and mittens, and today, I finally put away all of Jessie’s summer stuff and put her winter stuff in her room. Because, really, what’s the liklihood that she’ll need that bikini in the next couple of months? I love switching around her clothes, I always …

My belly is rumbling
That’s what my son said to me today. It was so cute, and such a random thing for him to say – his language skills are exploding all over the place, and he’s got a phenominal amount of information to get out. It’s like he’s been stocking up, and now that he has the words, …

I like my daughter
And the older she gets, the more I like her. She’s legitimately fun to hang around with. I know all the perils of thinking that you are your child’s friend. She needs a parent, not a buddy, etc… but she’s still just such an amazing person to be with. She’s funny and wise and I …

Bread of Idleness
That’s what I’m dining on today. Even though I can make a list of all that I’ve accomplished today (folded two loads of laundry, changed two kids, washed two loads of dishes, fed three children, entertained my mother and Annie, put Sam down for a long nap, took a shower, cleaned off the dining room …

Is pizza ready yet?
This is what my two year old said to me this morning. At nine thirty. And I thought to myself, why not? So I popped in a frozen pizza to bake. I’m not a fanatic about what my kids eat. I don’t give them artificial sweeteners, and I don’t keep soda or ice cream in …

Superfriends
Several times, since Sam was born, I’ve found myself thinking that I’m glad I was able to give Marc a son. Even though I know it makes no logical sense, it’s the sperm that determines the sex, and truly, Marc loves his girls as much as his boy. But there’s something magical about his relationship …
