Drama-rama

So I sent Kid 1 on a 3-day school trip to a Shakespeare competition and drama workshop (just in case we need a little more drama around here*). She took my cell phone** which she used frequently, and her copy of Les Miserables, which she looked at for possibly 2 pages. She rode hours on

Kinder, Gentler Kids’ Stories

Kid 4, home from Kindergarten, has just finished reading me a story (we call this homework). He read the library book he checked out from school. It’s “3 Little Pigs” – a version from the early 70s. He’s reading along, and here comes the wolf to the first little pig. He huffs, puffs, blows and

Let it Go? Go Where?

Sometimes there’s a lot to say. And sometimes there’s nothing to say. And sometimes, there’s so much I want to say that it gets caught in that place in the back of my throat and threatens to choke me, so I don’t want to let it out, and it seems like maybe there’s nothing to

Lazy Me

Remember relaxing? I do. I’m actually really, really good at it. I regularly read a book in the afternoon (that’s called RESEARCH, friends). Husband and I watch a lot of movies. We play games with the kids. We go on meandering walks. What we don’t do well around here (much to the dismay of Kid

Want to See?

I have a little something to show you. Want to see? It’s new. It’s colorful. It’s roughly book-shaped: There’s a lot to think about with a book cover. It’s scary territory for me, partly because I have very little (that means “no”) control over it. Partly because it matters SO SO SO much. And partly

True Story

Once upon a time there was a very young Mommy who had one sweet, beautiful, well-behaved child. (Oh, stop. This is all true.) This happy child loved her Mommy and followed her around, sat still for hair-doing, and went to bed without any fussing. The young Mommy thought, “I must be the best Mommy God
