My Theme Song For Today
There are days in my life, and thankfully they are relatively rare, when I feel as though I’ve never before left the house with my child. When I seem to be a complete novice at parenting in particular and human functioning in general. I walk out the door with purpose in my gaze looking in [...]
Road Rage
Besides waving bye-bye, one of Ruby’s new talents is to poke things, ANY things, with the middle finger of her right hand. She simply makes a fist, stickes her middle finger straight out and begins the relentless poking until she’s quite satisfied that the object of her poking has been thoroughly poked. Now, as a [...]
Word Of Mouth
These photos of Ruby were taken on March 16, 2006 by Tina Cockburn during one of our Animal Crackers playgroup sessions. She showed up with her two darling children, whipped out her camera and began shooting all of the kids (not LITERALLY shooting them, of course). Also a scrapbook diva, Tina is a self-taught photographer [...]
Out Of the Mouths (and Noses) Of Babes
In the light of day, everything seems survivable. But last night, while in the throes of CrySnotCough Fest 2006, I honestly contemplated telling Sam that I was headed out for the proverbial pack of smokes. Seriously. I came dangerously close to needing a straight jacket and padded room. We put Ruby down for bed at [...]

Well, we made it home from our whirlwind, adventurous, rain drenched, fun but not-at-all-restful weekend in Honolulu where Ruby was the Best Baby Ever, only to have her come down with a nasty cold. It’s probably karma for us, since we were so vociferous with pride at her exemplary behavior. At any rate, I blame [...]
All Systems Go
I sat down to write about my week and my daughter but have to take a slight detour due to the ongoing attitude of American moral superiority that George W. Bush and his zealous supporters continue to display to the world and, perhaps even more upsetting, the level of apathy exhibited by the greater American [...]
The Sound of Silence
The only thing worse than waking with “Dragon Tales” in my head first thing in the morning is when first thing in the morning happens at 12:35am. Wait. Let me revise that: waking up at 12:35am with “Barney” on the brain is definitely worse, so I suppose I shouldn’t complain. But it really blows that [...]
Delinquent Blogger
It’s so pathetic. Why in the world I ever thought I could be a blogger, SHOULD be a blogger, is beyond me. I’ve never been any good at keeping a diary so to think I’d actually write a blog is laughable. My deepest apologies to those of you who may have actually linked your [...]
