Haven’t posted in a while, it’s been kind of busy lately. Let’s see… Friday, I went up to my aunt’s house, my cousin, his wife and their daughter came over. My cousin just got out of the air force and it was the first time I’d seen them in about a year. The kids were …

Notes from Marc
I don’t know if anyone reads this other than Marc – but I’m trying to get Marc to start his own little blog for an online local paper, and these were his sample entries – I thought they were fabulous! Mom and Dad are NOT the same… Part of our morning ritual in our house …

Academic dilemma
Actually, I guess it’s not really a dilemma. We enrolled Jess into Worcester Public Schools and signed her up for the lottery to get into the “good schools.” Worcester has a really convuluted system, you have to sign up for your neighborhood school, but you can apply to get into a better neighborhood school or …

He worships at the alter of Dessi
Poor Sam – Jess is gone all day today – her first full day since two Fridays ago, and he’s going thru some serious withdrawal. He’s dressed in a pretty denim skirt (because Jess put on a dress this morning, and he cried until I gave him one) and every time one of our neighbors …

That’s right – I walk with children in the rain
And we are a soggy wet bunch. But everyone was pretty cheerful, despite being cold and wet. Not that it’s cold out, but when you’re sopping wet and the wind is blowing… it’s chilly. But we got stuff to make rice crispy treats and dough for fresh bread for dinner tonight, so it was worth …

Major stress
I’m checking the mail on an hourly basis – waiting for the financial aid paperwork for Jessie’s school. I’m really praying that we get enough aid to be able to send her to private school… she’s going to be so disappointed if we can’t. Not that I’ve let on to her how stressed I am, …

Why I hate candy
We just survived Purim and Easter. Part of the joy of being in somewhat interfaith relationship is that we celebrate every freaking holiday imaginable. Purim was fun – I got to experiment with different recipes until I found a really good one for hamentaschen and we went down to the synagogue for the Purim carnival. …
