So no one died or was dismembered from the swim lessons yesterday, happily enough. They froze, because our lovely city seems to be practicing the utmost frugality when it comes to heating municipal swimming pools, and also it is December, but they are still in one piece. So that’s a win. To warm ourselves up, […]

I am sitting right now, seething with anxiety, because my children are both at swimming lessons with their school. Some of you will know why I am extra anxious this time around, in addition to my usual anxiousness with the kids swimming, and signing those release forms with the school that states that the possibility […]

The party was great! I had full intentions of posting pictures of my outfit, but we had a new sitter and in my anxious getting-ready-to-leave-and-talking-far-too-much (“and the cell number is here, and here, and here”) I forgot to take a picture before we left, and then when we got home I was feeling slightly worse […]

Did you survive Halloween? Honestly, I wasn’t 100% sure we were going to make it through the day yesterday. The kids were completely wired with Trick or Treating on the horizon. At one point they were running laps around the house – which is not an uncommon occurrence, really – and I thought they were […]

Wow, was I just on vacation? I have that weird, not-unfamiliar feeling that I was in a completely alternate universe many months ago, although we’ve been home for only a few days. It’s funny how one day a person can spend hours in a complete state of relaxation, eating sublime food, walking on a beach, […]
