http://connorandhelen.blogspot.com/2011/11/nablopomo-advice-column-day-30-never.html
Connor and Helen Grow Up. Wednesday, November 30, 2011. NaBloPoMo Advice Column - Day 30 - Never Make a Bet With Your Wife While Drinking. I'm writing 30 thoughts in 30 days for NaBloPoMo. In no particular order, I'm giving you my worldview - as it comes up. I wasn't sure how I was going to round this out. I had originally intended to use yesterday's post. Tonight, Ed and I were out. Listening to music at one of our favorite Wednesday night hangouts. That was a huge mistake. Thank you, Therese. Day 7: Li...

Connor and Helen Grow Up: On Turning 40
http://connorandhelen.blogspot.com/2013/05/on-turning-40.html
Connor and Helen Grow Up. Monday, May 13, 2013. Dear Helen and Connor,. I'm also lucky to be your mom. I've seen your first steps, heard your first sentences (Turn 'da mixer off! And Helen made a mess! When you are your age, your lives are filled with good news. Something new is happening - a discovery on the playground, a friendship develops, a teacher gives birth, you learn to tie shoes (even you, Connor, and trust me we are all amazed)! Forty, as it turns out, can be lonely. Forty will sometimes f...

Connor and Helen Grow Up: Cards...
http://connorandhelen.blogspot.com/2015/03/cards.html
Connor and Helen Grow Up. Monday, March 30, 2015. My parents have come into town to play the role of full-time childcare provider while I head to the less chaotic confines of my downtown office. That means two things. First, my children are extremely happy, because my parents are not afraid to hand them a stack of quarters (my dad) or a cookie (my mom). Both are still equally cool. Connor was super thrilled. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. My NaBloPoMo Advice Column: Wrap Up.

Connor and Helen Grow Up: Sometimes, the world crumbles
http://connorandhelen.blogspot.com/2014/07/sometimes-world-crumbles.html
Connor and Helen Grow Up. Tuesday, July 8, 2014. Sometimes, the world crumbles. But how much can the world crumble in one day? Maybe the news of the tooth fairy will wait. And maybe there's a teeny tiny fairy out there who will visit our house tonight, and bring just a little magic inside to soothe our broken hearts. Because we could really use it.

Connor and Helen Grow Up: Wearing My Parents Out
http://connorandhelen.blogspot.com/2015/04/wearing-my-parents-out.html
Connor and Helen Grow Up. Wednesday, April 8, 2015. Wearing My Parents Out. My parents took on childcare duty for most of spring break. My parent's basic strategy is to try and find an outing each day, let the kids run around and have fun, and then hang on until Ed or I returns home. Helen did take a brief ride on the Chuck-E-Cheese car which snaps a photo - and when she saw her photo, she announced "Grandpa photo bombed me! My dad's camera battery did not make the trip, so most of the photos were snappe...

Connor and Helen Grow Up: Ticket karma
http://connorandhelen.blogspot.com/2009/04/ticket-karma.html
Connor and Helen Grow Up. Wednesday, April 15, 2009. I am a strong believer in karma - and when I send negative energy out into the world, I almost always regret it deeply within a few hours - though sometimes it takes me longer, I admit. But I try and send lots of positive karma out into the world and I do believe I live a mostly charmed life in return. This year, my friend Vickie. I was sad not to take Helen, even though I know she won't have any memory of the event. I am totally going to score a ticke...

Connor and Helen Grow Up: More Tooth Fairy News
http://connorandhelen.blogspot.com/2015/05/more-tooth-fairy-news.html
Connor and Helen Grow Up. Tuesday, May 19, 2015. More Tooth Fairy News. Although I was prepared to tell Connor about the Tooth Fairy. I never did. I just couldn't take the sadness. And that turned out to be a good choice, because a few months later, Connor pulled a tooth out, handed it to Ed, and then it was lost. Or so everyone thought. Connor wrote a note to the Tooth Fairy asking for assistance, and you know what? Helen asserted her confidence that the Tooth Fairy was real because she just knows there...

Connor and Helen Grow Up: Strangest Night of My Life: Health Care, a Kidney Stone, and more!
http://connorandhelen.blogspot.com/2011/01/strangest-night-of-my-life-health-care.html
Connor and Helen Grow Up. Sunday, January 23, 2011. Strangest Night of My Life: Health Care, a Kidney Stone, and more! I went ice skating last Sunday with the little people, followed by skiing the next day. Only, I didn't really ski because I spent my time passed out in the lodge in lots of pain. The pain came and went in waves, until finally, on Thursday, I called my primary care physician. I went to the 24 hour pharmacy, and my night got even weirder. On my mind, of course, is the knowledge that th...

Connor and Helen Grow Up: Vulnerable
http://connorandhelen.blogspot.com/2015/04/vulnerable.html
Connor and Helen Grow Up. Thursday, April 30, 2015. We are all vulnerable. Sometimes, our weaknesses are apparent to many; sometimes they are apparent to few. Sometimes, we make up weaknesses for other people just to make them feel bad, or pump ourselves up. Sometimes, we fool ourselves into feeling that it matters whether we are more vulnerable or less vulnerable, instead of remembering that the only thing that matters is that we are all vulnerable. By an idiot eating lunchables, no less. Instead, I wil...
