It's been a crappy week. Or a really bad Seinfeld episode. Take your pick Had a bad cold which I was pretty confident was going to turn into a sinus infection. 24 hours later I had a sinus infection. I know this because I felt like I wanted to rip my teeth out. I couldn't move but dragged myself and my kids into the doctor, ready to beg for drugs. She suggested doing a nasal swab for the flu. Sure, why not Didnt realize the swab was going to feel like the insides of your nose were being ripped out 24 hours later; confirmed Influenza A (the bad kind of flu. Although not really sure there is a good kind of flu) And then I didnt leave my bed. Was supposed to go to NYC with dear husband and children. One night at the inlaws, one night at the NY Palace hotel--a night away with no kids, a good dinner, a getaway. Not meant to be. Dear Husband went because I didnt want him here while I'm breathing swine flu around the house. In the meantime, my cat of 15 years is sick. She has beco...

Parenthood reiterated the fact I have little patience I stress and worry...a lot Before I was a parent I swore my kids wouldnt watch a lot of TV, that went out the window by the time they were one. Being a stay at home mom is a really tough job There's nothing better than experiencing Disney through the eyes of your children The tooth fairy really is a frightening concept I wish I could keep them in a bubble sometimes No matter how hard I try, my children will never be great eaters Or athletes They will; however, be thougtful and funny. Short tempered like their mother, observant like their father. Being a parent is the hardest job I'll ever had And the most rewarding

Somehow I dont believe we will be having an early Spring

and nothing about it is delightful Sure, the first snowfall is beautiful. Westwood especially looks gorgeous driving down the tree lined streets. But that was then. The first snowfall. Were now on snowfall number 102 and it's getting a bit tiresome. I think a small child could get lost and its like a bad game of pac man trying to drive and avoid pot holes, snow banks and people walking in the streets because they cant get around the snow covered sidewalks. THEY have already pushed forward the last day of school and I fear my kids will be wearing red white and blue in the classroom to celebrate the Fourth of July. It doesnt show signs of stopping... And yet, we are preparing for yet another storm. What's another 10-15 inches on top of the 3 feet we already have? I already forget what my grass looks like. My kids no longer argue with me to put on their mittens and boots. I have succommed to the fact that dear husband must go to work on snow days and the joy of being a SAHM is tha...
