What’s for dinner
03.21.10 | Permalink | 8 CommentsI’ve finally gotten in the habit of shopping once a week around a meal plan. And now, of course, I can’t imagine how I managed not to go crazy before, running to the store almost every day for just one or two things that always turned into fifty dollars worth of crackers and “good deals” [...]

A Woman’s Prerogative (an Evolution of Birthing Attitudes)
03.15.10 | Permalink | 25 CommentsSeveral people have asked why I am suddenly interested in natural childbirth after ten years and three labors that, while medicated and managed, turned out just fine. Actually, my mother specifically told my brother not to ask me about my birthing plans, but that could have been because we were in the middle of a [...]

Shouldn’t every grade be like that?
03.11.10 | Permalink | 15 CommentsBefore our walk this morning, Chrysanthemum and I were talking about school. I think I mentioned something about how Susan is so ready for kindergarten (she’ll be six in October) and I hope she won’t be bored since she’ll go in knowing how to read (which was not the case for Sally).

A man worth keeping
03.08.10 | Permalink | 10 CommentsYesterday on our Sunday evening walk, Susan had to go to the bathroom. The upside to having three toilet-independent children is that I don’t have to change any diapers. The downside is that I now forget to make everyone go before leaving the house (even though I usually go twice during the shoes-and-socks ritual, just [...]

Third grade blues
03.05.10 | Permalink | 14 CommentsWhen I was young, a little younger than Sally, my parents left us with a babysitter. This wasn’t a common occurrence, but while they were gone, I sprinkled a bunch of baby powder all over the carpet. Mom came home and freaked out a little at the baby powder (probably close to a whole container’s [...]
