mamamania: Don't judge a book by its pages
http://mamamania.blogspot.com/2010/04/dont-judge-book-by-its-pages.html
Tuesday, April 27, 2010. Don't judge a book by its pages. Clearly Barbara doesn't need to endlessly rethink each scene over and over again the way I do. (Should it be fall or spring? Do they meet at a party or a museum? Does she have a child from her previous marriage? It would be nice if I could finish my book, but I've given up hope of really doing it - at least any time this decade. Even so, I don't want to give it up. Gotta go work on today's paragraph. You have to stop worrying about the ketchup and...

mamamania: January 2011
http://mamamania.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Wednesday, January 12, 2011. Every now and then I complain—just a teeny bit—about being a parent. All the time spent driving kids to gymnastics and soccer. Constant coordination of their social lives—sometimes even at the expense of my own. Visits to the library. Making healthy, zero-waste lunches. Homework. Then I read Amy Chua’s article “Why Chinese Mothers are Superior”. Why, oh why, did I worry about whether my daughter was making friends in kindergarten? Or play with Coke and Mentos in the backyard&...

mamamania: March 2009
http://mamamania.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
Wednesday, March 18, 2009. I Need a Vacation! Having one of those days when I'm feeling sad about not ever travelling. Not so much that I want to get away from my children (although I wouldn't mind! But just feeling a little bored of not experiencing anything "new". I think it was set off by two things - reading a really good book that takes place in England, and hearing about my boss' planned vacation to England. She said the fares are cheap now!

mamamania: September 2008
http://mamamania.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
Wednesday, September 17, 2008. When Mike and I first got married, we got advice from several people that to have a successful marriage you needed to "surrender", to let things that would normally bother you just roll off of your back. My friend David Gunn called it being a duck. Unfortunately neither Mike or I are very good at that, but we try. Want me to make oatmeal after I already scrambled eggs? Need to run around the grocery store like a lunatic grabbing everything that contains sugar? The Guernsey ...

mamamania: December 2008
http://mamamania.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
Friday, December 26, 2008. Everybody Have Fun Tonight. Thursday, December 11, 2008. Today was a major milestone. For the first time, Mia and I went together to get our nails done! I see it as the start of a new era. We'll try pedicures next! Tuesday, December 09, 2008. Today I was driving in the car with Mia who was singing along to the Beatles, "Help me if you can I'm feeling down, and I do appreciate your being around." It occured to me suddenly how great it would be if there was an afterlife and I...

Tuesday, September 21, 2010. How Cook's Illustrated "Best 30 Minute Recipe" has changed my life. Sometimes- if my imagination is on overdrive and I squint really hard- when I look at my living room I don't see piles of toys or stains on the carpet. I see something worthy of Architectural Digest: my living room the way it was meant to be. Not the reality of what it is. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Tuesday, May 24, 2011. I don't know whether to blame it on Spanish immersion, or today's day and age - but here's Mia's latest spelling mishap.
