What? What did I say? 2008-10-03 10:07:39 There’s no doubt that this has been a busy week at my house - what with it being my last day at b5media, Amy having a visit at Children’s Hospital, birthdays and work obligations… So I know the kids are exhausted.
That said, the complete meltdown this morning? Totally didn’t see it [...]
It Will Get Better 2008-10-02 16:08:02 The house is quiet this morning.
Katie is back at school after being home for the Jewish high holidays. Being home for the holidays is particularly stressful when you don’t celebrate said holidays… Then, you’re just home. Of course, the weather has been terrible - rainy and stormy - something for [...]
Feed The World 2008-10-02 04:52:39 Let them know it’s Lawmummy time!
Corny, I know. I’m working on just a few hours’ sleep here…
But I wanted to let you know that the old feed from Lawmummy is kaput. Be sure and sign up for the new feed. You can subscribing via email, use one of the handy dandy aggregator [...] Read more:World
Gack. Ack. Spew. 2008-10-01 20:44:52 Que disastre.
It’s been a horrible tech week.
Sorry for the sudden disappearance… I had server traumas and then database failures.
I’m trying my hardest to recreate as much as I can. Unfortunately, a lot of the comments, tags and categories got lost… (sob) And I’m missing a few months’ of data. [...]
This Old House 2008-09-25 21:25:45 I am not one of those girls who remembers every anniversary of every single thing in my life. I couldn’t tell you the date that I first kissed my husband, the date that we decided to get married or the date that we first went out…
But I can tell you what I was doing [...] Read more:House
Po-tay-toe, Po-tah-toes. 2008-09-22 20:27:27 Dad sent an email clarifying that his doctor won’t actually call it “asbestosis” yet (though the 2nd opinion doctor did, apparently). He says: “But, he did make it clear, I do have asbestos in my lungs, and at some point it may develope into asbestosis. This is shown by the intensity and evidence [...]
The Plague Has Passed 2008-09-22 20:25:44 When Charlie’s teacher asked me if he had experienced the stomach bug that was going around the school, I should have known…
Amy came home on Friday afternoon complaining of a stomach ache. About a half hour later, the vomiting begin. And on and on it went. I enjoyed the privilege of [...]
Vote for a Philly Hero 2008-10-16 06:36:50 CNN has nominated its Top 10 Heros for 2008. Among them is Anne Mahlum, a runner who created Back on My Feet, a running program for the homeless. Her story is amazing! Check it out and vote for Anne! Read more:Philly
Hooray Phillies 2008-10-16 06:10:49 Yaaay Phillies! That is all (for now).
Save Your Cynicism For Someone Else’s Kids 2008-10-14 22:18:39 Ever have one of those moments that just leaves you reeling? That you relive and relive inside your head and still can’t make it make sense?
I had one of them today.
In the midst of what started out as an innocent conversation, an adult said something that I considered inappropriate to my daughter. [...]
McCain Supporters in Bethlehem, PA 2008-10-14 08:01:22 Nice.
Gosh, this election is scary and divisive. Yelling “get a job” to Obama supporters is an interesting tact; why ask why those folks aren’t at work when you’re not? And when folks in the crowd say that women in Alaska should “pay double” for rape kits… or die? Just sad. Read more:McCain

Yet Another PSA About My Feed 2008-10-12 07:51:02 One of my readers wrote in to say that the feed in the sidebar doesn’t add properly in Yahoo - it reverts back to the old feed. Sigh. I have no idea why that would happen unless it’s a cache thing. Feedburner swears it’s all good but unfortunately, now that Google owns [...]
Another beer, please? 2008-10-12 07:40:44 On Friday, Charlie looked at me and enthused, “I’m going to be a fire truck (for Halloween)!”
I said, “Yes, yes you are.”
He then asked, “What you going to be?”
I said, “Ursula the Sea Witch.”
He looked at me and said, “What dad going to be?”
I said, “I dunno. What do you think daddy should be?”
Charlie [...]
Fashion-less Sense 2008-10-11 21:20:27 I had one of those moments today - one of those moments that I realize is wildly petty and yet, I can’t help myself.
Today, my girls went to a tea party. The invite said to dress up in your best dress and bring a pal (i.e. stuffed animal or doll) for tea. [...] Read more:Fashion

Working Girl 2008-11-12 13:40:29 Today, Katie asked me how to spell “employee.”
I told her, then asked why.
She looked at me and said, very seriously, “Mom, I like it here. But someday I’m going to get a job. And I will need to learn to spell ‘Employees must wash hands’ for the bathroom.”
Bite Me. 2008-11-07 17:51:19 What a morning.
Charlie did not want to go to school today. No reason, just said he wanted to stay home.
Amy did not want to go to school today either. Apparently, one of the girls at school had informed her that she didn’t want to be her friend anymore. Amy is our sensitive [...]
Cold As Ice? 2008-11-06 19:02:32 It’s warm here in Philly lately - as in no jackets, short sleeves, the whole bit. In November?! It seems hardly fitting.
But don’t panic! More seasonal temps are on the way. According to Farmers Almanac:
Despite a mild November, this winter will be colder and snowier than normal, with near or above-normal [...]
Candy, Candy, Everywhere 2008-11-06 15:42:04 The leftover Halloween candy is eating me alive!
I mean, I’m eating it. A lot. This is sooo not good for me. Which is why I was thrilled when a friend pointed me in this direction. Yep, that’s right. Operation Gratitude can send your uneaten, calorie and fat packed Halloween candy to our troops. [...] Read more:Candy
Are You Green? 2008-11-06 15:30:03 If you shop at Target and like to do what you can for the environment, then take a peek at this. Sure it’s promotion-y, but every little bit helps, right? Read more:Green
The Gay Threat 2008-11-05 09:47:24 I love my husband. He is my best friend - a little irritating at times (ha! that’s what you get for not reading, lawdaddy!) - but my best friend nonetheless.
And short of Luke Wilson showing up single on my doorstep (psst, Luke, email me for directions), nothing will shake the faith that I have [...]
Democracy 2008-11-05 09:02:56 If there is anyone out there who doubts that America is a place where anything is possible, who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time, who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer.
- President Elect Barack Obama
Um, Yeah I Did. 2008-11-04 07:53:00 Yeah, I did it. I wrote an endorsement comparing an Obama victory to the Phils’ winning the World Series. You can read it here.
