Tuesdays are long
Categories: Family, Life, With the Kiddos
Tuesday morning I wake up at least by 7:00 instead of 8:30 so I can make sure I’m not wearing pajamas when the garbage man comes. Lunch starts at 11:00 rather than noon so that the kids can be sleeping by noon instead of 1:00 so that I can get them up at 1:15 instead of 3:30 so they can be in the car by 1:30 so we can be at the children’s museum by 2:00 and be there for the story and craft every week.

I figured I’d nailed it! And then Iddo thought for a minute and suggested we be the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta for Halloween next year. Um… Keep reading
The last item on the list
Categories: Life
When we found out Izri was coming I made a to-do list of things that needed to, or at least should, get finished before he was finished. He was born in June. I managed to cross the last thing off the list before he was 3 months old, so that’s pretty good for me. Keep reading
Green Noise
Categories: Life
I don’t like white noise. The whirring, static, mind-numbing noise that some people love and fall asleep to really grates on my brain. Keep reading
