Hey-la, hey-la…
So listen. This is one of those stories that makes me look dumb, which should be kind of fun.
The other night I had a wee meltdown, wailing to Will that I was done catering to Sam’s preschooler food particularities and wanted him to JUST EAT WHAT I COOK, WHY ...

Can someone tell me what happened? I am still certain that the little boy on the left lives with me, but the evidence says otherwise.
(Also, am I crazy to be thinking about cutting his hair? I’ve never had any interest in cutting it unless he ...

The Atlantic has published an article on influenza that examines the possibility that the vaccine is pointless (without taking sides).

So, I’m 33 weeks pregnant. And, er, one day. But who’s counting.
I weigh less than I did at 33 weeks with Sam, which is awesome since I started out a few pounds heavier (but in much better shape overall). My wedding rings still fit. I can even squeeze into my smaller maternity ...

Last night Sam fell asleep before 6:30, sitting on Will’s lap listening to a story about a rooster.
He slept for about 12 hours, with two wake-ups to ask for water. He was awake for about an hour and a half this morning before asking to go back to bed. He slept for two more hours, ...

That’s me! Over at About.com’s Stay At Home Mom Blog . I’m still not sure this is a mom blog, but it is a blog and I am a mom, so there you have it.

Stay At Home Mom
Inspired by this post by Jessica, I decided that it was time for us to have some fall decorations in the spirit of Thanksgiving.
Every year we go around the table and say what we are thankful for, which is almost as precious to me as the food. So how about a reminder for the whole month of ...

These pictures from a few weeks ago are cracking me up. I just love how Sam alternates between invented yoga poses and sprawling like a teenager when he watches his movies.

If I make pumpkin pie, do I have to make dinner as well? I say no. Here’s my argument:
Pumpkin is a vegetable.
Sweetened condensed milk and eggs are protein.
Crust is a grain.
Ta-da! Complete meal! With whipped cream for dessert.
…Right?

Yesterday afternoon, Sam began to show signs of feeling poorly again. We went to a second playground and I pushed him on the swing for about 25 minutes. When he got down he was shivering, and he fell asleep in the car a few minutes later. I woke him up at the grocery store and he was very ...

This morning, in an attempt to make up for the fact that Sam has been stuck in the house with me for like two weeks straight, we went to the playground. Normally Sam plays for between 45 minutes and an hour, a little longer if he’s with his dad and a little shorter with me (I am not as ...

On a normal day, Sam would happily watch movies for six hours straight ( maybe more ). Today I have some urgent work to finish, so he has very little interest in the television. You might call this irony, but I believe the word you mean to use is UNFAIR. Especially considering that his idea of ...

In the past 24 hours:
Will won a two night stay in a suite at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas.
Will sent off his first round of agent queries for his novel.
Will received his first request for the full manuscript of his novel.
Sam and I spent the afternoon with Andrea and kids, who ...

Some days I feel like there is no point in ever hoping to be anything. Like choosing to me a mother means that I don’t get to have anything else. The universe is allowing me to have Sam (and Otter), and I am also allowed to cook and knit and make various other things, but those homey, ...

I was just looking through an album of photos taken at an old friend’s wedding. Whenever I came across an adult I didn’t recognize, I scrolled down to see if the picture was tagged. One of them turned out to be an ex-boyfriend of mine. Several pictures later, he turned up again. I ...

11:01–get Sam dressed, check flight status, et cetera.
11:20–drive to Burbank.
12:10–Will ...

4:45–Sam falls asleep in the twilight.
5:10–Sam wakes up because Daddy has gotten out of his seat and is kissing him.
5:11–Sam begins yelling at me because I have ...
