Bean= cold Saturday through Monday, still sniffly today but in school. Me= cold Sunday evening through today, very sick (of course with my sinuses of doom) slept about 25 minutes last night. Jam= sniffly but not sick yet and leaving for New Yawk on Wednesday. Foo One wonders: How long …
In the spirit of doing things that are good for me (and ultimately for the family) I found my walking park and have set aside an hour each day to do it. It feels indulgent but if I can convince myself it is ifor the good of everyone (my health …
I just went to pick up the Bean at school. She was already on a sleeping mat being quiet. I leaned down to see if she wanted to come home or stay there until 3. She said “Go home mommy, I stay with the other kids. Bye bye, I love …
I’m really excited for the Bean to start to school tomorrow and so is she. When we told her she was going to a new school, she jumped up and down, did a little dance and yelled “yippee a new school.” It’s all she’s been able to talk about since …
Got my hair cut last night. For some reason everyone who does my hair this last year or so wants to blow it out straight. I like it ok, but I think we’re going to go redder at Christmas… But here, in all their glory is our cat family (and …
She has on her pumpkin hat, her hot pink gloves, her tap shoes and kitty cat backpack. She is under the table going ‘camping.” God, how I love the weirdness of kids and on another note: She spelled Cat, Dog and Bart (the last she asked me how to spell …
Thing that utterly ticked me off today: A beautiful baby contest in the mall. I needed to return some vacuum bags and there is this cool indoor playground with a little elf village , so we were going to hang out a bit. But ARGH Especially the little girls in …
still miss you buddy, always will. You are my reminder that there is always gold amongst the dross. Mr. Newguise (noogies) Sept ?? 1987-November 11th 2003
Under the heading it is all worth it, file this: Emily just collected all the letters from her fridge phonics set and put them in the correct order, spelling her name. She can also tell you her address, full name and what city and state she lives in. The spelling …
Willy Wonka– We finally got to see it last night. Had a pizza party with the three of us and assorted cats. At one point Ninny grabbed a piece of pizza and tried to run off with it. Don’t get in the way that girl and her carbs. I love …
just a weird side note. After 14 years of living in San Francisco, it still feels weird when I tell folks here “we’re the first left after the Graveyard off Mission.” The two Missions crash into each other in my head. Took Bean for her first real Graveyard ramble last …
Warning: runon sentence because it helps to get across how I feel right now: So we’re at the new members of the Unitarian pot luck party tonite. We’re having this wonderful conversation about business/economic ethics vs personal ethics and enron/tyco that sort of thing, also second careers and being parents …
is what is is supposed to be like. A WONDERFUL party. For all the libras at my friend Laura’s house. And kids abounding and dogs and food and talk. And everyone is home by 11. And I even got a birthday present. If I get any happier I’ll explode. Oh …
