The Logical Mommy: June 2012
http://logicalmommy.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
Do not make assumptions about me or my writing simply because my blog has the word "Mommy" in it. Saturday, June 23, 2012. Not a major success, but not a total wash. It's better to make it about an hour before use, rather than the night before. Oh, and there is the issue of my kids not really wanting messy fingerpainty hands. But they like the colors and they enjoyed being outside at 7AM. Friday, June 22, 2012. Here's what I'm preparing for tomorrow:. Monday, June 18, 2012. Of our very own! Thankfully wi...

The Logical Mommy: February 2015
http://logicalmommy.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Do not make assumptions about me or my writing simply because my blog has the word "Mommy" in it. Saturday, February 21, 2015. Not in MY house of worship. Had a weird experience today. There's this guy who has been attending services for the past few weeks, as a guest, who seems to be trying to drum up support for a presidential campaign. Yes, of the USA. At the kiddush, I heard his voice, with a bit more country in it than that to which I am accustomed, say something about "Not Adam and Steve.". Motherf...

The Logical Mommy: June 2014
http://logicalmommy.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
Do not make assumptions about me or my writing simply because my blog has the word "Mommy" in it. Wednesday, June 25, 2014. A long night, long ago. It was six years ago, right about now, when we took turns sleeping and trying, and failing, to soothe our sweet Boy, as we smelled him, smelling not right to us anymore. He was 22 pounds at nearly 10 months old, and 2 pounds of that was tumor. We are forever changed. We are lucky. We are scarred, and scared, relieved and yet still on our guard. The Most Extre...

The Logical Mommy: Facing demons
http://logicalmommy.blogspot.com/2015/01/facing-demons.html
Do not make assumptions about me or my writing simply because my blog has the word "Mommy" in it. Friday, January 23, 2015. Today I attended a funeral. This was the second Friday afternoon I had spent at the Jewish funeral parlor. Last week, it was a great-uncle, aged 91, who had a long and healthy life. He will be mourned and missed, but it was very expected. This week it was my second-grade teacher whose daughter was in my class. All that matters is, my children will never attend that school. Anyhow, m...

The Logical Mommy: New Years 2015
http://logicalmommy.blogspot.com/2015/01/new-years-2015.html
Do not make assumptions about me or my writing simply because my blog has the word "Mommy" in it. Thursday, January 1, 2015. It's 2015. Where's my hoverboard? This has been a year full of ups and downs. So should most be, because that's what keeps life interesting. I'm certain that if I were to sit down and categorize everything, I'd be WAY ahead in the positives column. Overall I feel pretty darned good about this year, as evidenced by my very few but very powerful (commence horn-tooting.) posts...One o...

The Not-So-Polite Semite: Tragedy, Legacy, & Memory
http://www.notsopolitesemite.com/2010/01/tragedy-legacy-memory.html
One-stop shopping for thoughts on Religion, Politics, Pop Culture, and anything and EVERYTHING in between! Monday, January 11, 2010. Tragedy, Legacy, and Memory. I feel connected in many ways to the Jews and other groups persecuted during the Holocaust. However, I can’t help but wonder: if we don’t take steps to preserve the legacy of what happened, will generations three thousand years from now forget? 8220; I am not a hero. More than twenty thousand Dutch people helped to hide Jews and others in need o...

The Logical Mommy: August 2012
http://logicalmommy.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html
Do not make assumptions about me or my writing simply because my blog has the word "Mommy" in it. Friday, August 24, 2012. Fell asleep before posting. So this is from last night). Ender took his very first real steps today! He has been able to stand on his own when placed there or when he is playing with something and he doesn't realize it, but today he took two steps a few times. He is so big! Thursday, August 9, 2012. Shore day 3: Bad at math. The Boy was getting tired and thirsty, and uncooperative...

The Logical Mommy: July 2012
http://logicalmommy.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
Do not make assumptions about me or my writing simply because my blog has the word "Mommy" in it. Monday, July 23, 2012. What we teach our children. The Cincinnati Police Department got about a dozen concerned phone calls. When they arrived at the location proudly given by this mother, they applauded her. But what does that teach this child? And yet, I click on this woman's Facebook page, and I see her talking about her Christian compassion regarding the guy who went on a shooting rampage at the Batman m...

The Logical Mommy: Review of Procedure for the ridiculous
http://logicalmommy.blogspot.com/2014/02/review-of-procedure-for-ridiculous.html
Do not make assumptions about me or my writing simply because my blog has the word "Mommy" in it. Saturday, February 8, 2014. Review of Procedure for the ridiculous. Mom and I are in the process of helping a family whose infant son is undergoing treatment for neuroblastoma. It's a different course of treatment but still calls to mind our experiences. It puts us back in that mode, but by the same token it doesn't, because we are (B"H) viewing his situation through hindsight. Other Sites of Note. Let's jus...
