Are you happy to see me, or is it just your yogurt?

I got hit on Thursday night. Mind you it was by a guy so drunk he was spilling his beer on my lap more than slipping me cheesy come-on lines. But all the same, someone tried to hit on me. This just doesn’t happen anymore. It kind of gives me a warm fuzzy feeling inside, [...]

Can you make those jeans a venti? And hold the whip cream

Posted in Mommahood, tagged , , , on February 6, 2010 | 1 Comment »

Lately I’ve been worried that I don’t have anything to write about. Nothing funny seemed to be happening in my life. There were a few minor things, like the night I woke up in a cold sweat because I dreamt I delivered twins. I don’t know which was worse, the fact that now I had [...]

Don’t be embarrassed kitty, you still look cool – kind of

Meet our cat Cozmo. Poor Cozmo. She’s had better days. Two weeks ago she underwent surgery. First was the dental surgery – she had already lost 70% of her teeth. We’d even find them on the kitchen floor. The vet informed us that the rest of her teeth were rotting and her gums infected. To [...]

A guide to explaining pregnancy to children

Posted in Mommahood, tagged on January 24, 2010 | 3 Comments »

So lately, with my belly getting bigger, my children have become more curious about the birth and the baby. Here are some of the questions they have been asking, and my two responses: what I actually told them, and then the truth, only muttered to myself under my breath. 1. Kaiden: “Mommy, can I watch [...]

To Benadryl or not to Benadryl, that is the question

Posted in Mommahood, Peaks & Valleys, tagged , , , , on January 18, 2010 | 10 Comments »

So I finally bit the bullet and decided to do it. We are taking the kids half-way around the world to see my family in Israel. 24 hours travel time, three different planes, airplane food, cramped quarters, kids asking “Are we there yet?” after 20 minutes – I must be crazy. Yet my parents did [...]

Cleared for take-off, but not the bathroom

Posted in Mommahood, tagged , on January 5, 2010 | 2 Comments »

I should have predicted it. Everything was going too smoothly. Knowing my children’s bathroom habits, I should have known. Known what, you ask? That the minute the plane started taxing down the runway, the very few minutes when no one can get up from their seat, not even the stewardess, my kids would have to go to the [...]

Why potty-trained kids should wear diapers at the grocery store

Posted in Mommahood, tagged , on December 3, 2009 | 5 Comments »

Sorry for my absence. I know it’s been over a week since my last post. But I have a good explanation – I’ve been in the bathroom. Namely, the Safeway bathroom. This isn’t a pregnancy thing. I haven’t been getting sick in the grocery store or having to make a pee stop in every aisle. [...]

How my quest for sleep turned me into George Costanza

Posted in Mommahood, Sleep, what's that?, tagged , , , on November 22, 2009 | 5 Comments »

I started my day by getting yelled at by my Friendly Neighborhood Pharmacist. In my desperate attempt to find someone who would tell me Ambien was OK to take while pregnant, I was calling everyone I could think of. After three nights in a row of four hours of sleep, I realized I was going to [...]

Good-bye Ambien & Kitty Litter, Hello Freak Out

Posted in Mommahood, tagged , , , , on November 18, 2009 | 22 Comments »

So you know how when you are expecting to get your period any day, you start making preparations. You put a tampon in your purse. You wear that pair of old, torn underwear you’ve had since college that you keep for specials occasions like this. You make sure you put your mat in the back [...]

Setting a bad example in the classroom

Posted in Mommahood, tagged , , on November 12, 2009 | 2 Comments »

You try to be a good mom. You try to practice patience and understanding. You buy your kids presents, give them candy, let them talk you into buying them a treat every time you go to the store. You kiss them and hug them and love them when they are sick. You put up with [...]
