Caretaker…

Bald Man and I have a “divide and conquer” mentality now that we are the parents of three (how DID we allow ourselves to be outnumbered?). He had a doctor’s appointment Saturday morning, and I had to take our daughter to swim lessons. So I said, “I can take ONE boy to swim lessons, but [...]

Okay, guys, cover your ears. Done? Alright. Ladies, have you seen the new tabs on the Always pads’ wings? You know, the little paper thing that keeps the wings neatly tucked together until you’re ready to let them fly. So they don’t get all bunched and stuck at funny angles in your Hanes Her Way [...]

I ask my kids this question often. Just to make sure they know. I’m sure Freud or some other psychoanalyst would have a field day with this. Maybe I feel guilty that I don’t show love. Maybe I feel guilty that I’m not spending enough time with my kids. Maybe I’m overcompensating for under engaging. [...]

My daughter is almost 3 years older than her nearest brother. If you ask him, he’ll tell you that, “I two and a half.” (Plus 3 months.) He is two and 9 months, and for some reason it’s taken me that 9 months to remember what it is that makes a two year old’s mind [...]
