Supreme self-confidence. Yiddish. This is the story of my life. Digest version. The chutzpah comes in where I actually believe you care about my life. Thursday, April 19, 2012. Good news, sweet news, and old news. Resulting in an uncomfortable and fussy infant. Grandpa swooped in to the rescue, with soothing pats and words for my poor little one. His calm words and touch helped her belch like a sailor and sleep once more. The weekend before the Kid was born, David and I attended a Navy ball. Dave had...

The Naked Truth About Parenting. Happy And Healthy Living. March 9, 2015. Maybe I'll Be a Better Housewife Tomorrow. The laundry hamper is overflowing,. Mountains of dirty dishes are growing.

The bathroom wouldn't reek like a sewer. If the kids' accidents were fewer. And it would help if they remembered how.

Supreme self-confidence. Yiddish. This is the story of my life. Digest version. The chutzpah comes in where I actually believe you care about my life. Saturday, August 24, 2013. I've fallen, and I can't. My Dad and The Kid. I haven't much felt like writing since my dad passed away. The tumor in his head won the turf war with his brain. It was early April when he slipped into a coma. A day later, two weeks before his 63rd birthday, he slipped away. He was one of the good ones. I miss him every day. Yester...

Supreme self-confidence. Yiddish. This is the story of my life. Digest version. The chutzpah comes in where I actually believe you care about my life. Friday, February 15, 2013. The day after my birthday. Yesterday, I turned 37. Today, we found out the tumor in my dad's head has grown. I keep thinking about The Kid: how much you enjoy her company, how delightful your relationship is and will be- is supposed to be- far into the future. It's not fair! I want that for both of you! Please don't go yet!

Supreme self-confidence. Yiddish. This is the story of my life. Digest version. The chutzpah comes in where I actually believe you care about my life. Sunday, December 11, 2011. The view from inside. I'm unhappy a lot of the time. And then I feel a little kick in the abdomen. A little morse code message from inside that says "Mama, I'm here! And I think at her as loud as I know how (sometimes actually speaking it), "Oh baby! Please don't think this unhappiness is because of you! And then I feel guilty...

An update on Grandma Marian. A lot of people have been asking me lately how my mom is doing, so I thought I'd do a public update. While she still has some work ahead of her to get back to pre-coma energy and mobility, on the whole, she is doing great! Bode Floors (in honor of Gallery 44) presents Summer Camp for Grownups.
