Connecting the Dots

You Know

By KJ / Thursday, February 15, 2007

the plow guy gets stuck in your driveway. A neighbor towed him out eventually. Our afternoon playdate turned into a dinner date as well. Three thrilled five-year-old boys. (Although one was slightly worried that he’d “never see his daddy again”). Well worth missing yoga for, really.conference thermal analysis 3rdsex amateur vid101 sex positions forsex adult swapsex free stories absolutelyporn 60 vintage samatuer free video pornjapanese 500 sex Map

OK, I Shoulda Done this a Long Time Ago (How I Taught My 11-Month-Old to (mostly) Sleep Through the Night)

By KJ / Wednesday, February 14, 2007

For months, I struggled to get Wyatt to bed. And he’d wake up, and I’d struggle again. I’d try to nurse him chock full so that he’d sleep a long time, but all I managed to do was persuade him that if he woke up, I’d fill that belly again. I’d known for weeks, if not months again, that it was time to act. But I also knew that that wasn’t going to be easy–as in, I wasn’t going to […]

Killling Kissy for

By KJ / Monday, February 12, 2007

Tonight at 8:05 I was thinking hey. I’m pretty good at this. 5 years experience and I’m gettin’ pretty slick, if I do say so myself (and since there are no multiple choice tests for mothers, I’m the only one who’s likely to say so.) I’m tucking in the two “big kids”. The baby’s been out for over an hour. Everyone’s hair has been washed (this is an ordeal in our house). Baby had simple dinner. Big kids and I […]

Schadenfreude, without the Schadenfreude

By KJ / Wednesday, January 10, 2007

So, I just got an email from a friend promoting a book written by one of her friends. It’s The Feminine Mistake: Are We giving Up to Much?, and it looks to be an honest assessment of the affects of quitting one’s job in order to raise one’s children, with something of an emphasis (as one might gather from the title) on why that might not be such a great idea after all. I’m planning on reading it; I’m hoping […]

Sleep…They

By KJ / Monday, January 8, 2007

Wyatt is in that must pull up, must stand, must get tooth or something phase. Lily is in the “lie down with me” phase. They don’t sleep, or not for long. I had to take a break from writing this post to put Lily back to bed. If it were just one or the other, we could tag team, retrain, something… but it is both, and we are just barely treading water. And again. And again. In fact, she’s sitting […]

Why We Call Lily Wednesday Now

By KJ / Friday, December 8, 2006

Music class this week–our last class, my last one ever unless my better nature takes over on Wyatt’s behalf. Of course both kids were flawless, adorable, Lily dancing with her friend and Wyatt showing off his new clapping abilities. I realized, as I never had before, that the real reason to go to these things is to show off how cute and smart your kids are. I should perhaps say that the reason I’ve never spotted that before is that […]

The Great Snack Project

By KJ / Thursday, June 15, 2006

Yesterday at the grocery store I completely lost my head. This was partly thanks to the entertaining musings of Caitlin Flanigan in To Hell With All That, which we read for book club. Flanigan is always fun to read. For one thing, she’s a person who can see the guilty side of anything. I closed the book, thought the hell with that, I am the mother I am, and went and bought $300 worth of chicken nuggets. OK, an exageration. […]

Those are some of the subjects I discussed with Sam today. Yes, I explained war to my almost five-year-old as he sat in the “way back” of the minivan.(I’m not sure whether to thank NPR or the president, but I really can’t listen to Dan Zanes all the time.) I got to bellow it, because it’s a little hard to hear back there, and he kept asking me to repeat myself. Apparently I wasn’t making any sense, and it took […]

Lily lets me READ!

I wrote a book about reading to babies–and it’s been months since Lily has really let me read to her. She brings books, yes–but after a page she’s off for another book. She’d rather “read” to herself–and she does, she sits and talks and turns the pages–but like everything else, she just doesn’t want anyone to do it for her. But tonight, ar long last, she let me read. I happened to grab a handful of board books she hadn’t […]

Raising Lily, Reading

It’s a Girl edited by Andi Buchanan. I’ve just read most of the essays in this book, and I’ve loved them. Why “most”? Because I couldn’t read the last few–the ones about letting go. My oldest child isn’t quite five, and even thought there are plenty of moments when letting him go–ANYWHERE–sounds pretty good, the truth is that I can’t even think about them grown up and even a little bit gone. I’ll trust I’ll handle that somehow when it […]

Fairy Tales

By KJ / Saturday, May 13, 2006

Fairy tales just aren’t PC, friends. They’re violent. Kings kill princes, fathers fling their daughters out in the snow, the wolf chows down on Grandma. They’re horribly insensitive to gener issues. Girls want to marry the prince, and even if they manage to do something clever or save themselves, marriage is their portion. Fathers promise their daughter’s hands without consulting her, beauty and charm are all important, etc. They’re heavily dependant on social class. Servants live belowstairs, masters above. Paupers […]

What Moms Eat

By KJ / Saturday, May 6, 2006

Yesterday we ate lunch in the grocery store cafe. My planned lunch: an avocado roll and some sliced pineapple. The lunch I ended up eating: 1/2 box of chocolate-flavored graham crackers shaped like bunnies in the car on the way home. Wyatt had to be nursed, Lily had to sit in my lap and unroll the avocado from the rice and squish it and I had to be constantly vigilant so that my over-stimulated spawn didn’t run the other eaters […]

Hocus Refocus

This has definitely become something of a navel-gazing blog, and the more navel gazing I do, the more I start to notice that much of my navel probably ought to be kept private. I didn’t set out to do quite this. My plan was to post more finished, funny, essay-like entries, but I can tell you right now that those take time–and, of course, that’s not time that comes from my kids, laundry or sleeping efforts.

C-sections: Behind the fashion curve

No way ordinary tylenol would work! Well, actually, it did–and I’m less groggy, too. So maybe they know something. Other thoughts: The people in charge of c-section scar placement have not kept up with the new lower waistbands. And it’s not the scar I’m worried about–it’s the […]

Oddly, for a blogger, I’m a very private person, and there is really nothing private about being nine months pregnant. It’s part of the reason I’m always so reluctant to tell people my actual due date. I don’t […]
