My older son is at his grandparents' tonight; my younger son is, I think, asleep in the crib. He had Benadryl again because his rash is worsening. When Phil put on the homemade paste, the poor little guy was shrieking, that high-pitched wail that makes a parent grab all of the pain and take it on him/herself.

Hmm. Chronicling again. I want to avoid ( Read more... )

Last night, I slept. For realz. The boys were both down with some stomach thing, and both had gotten pretty significant diaper rash (especially son #2, who inherited doubly fair and sensitive skin from Phil and me). To ameliorate the rash, I coated their respective bums with a mixture of Benadryl paste, Maalox, and corn starch (weird, but it works ( Read more... )

Our rabbi is leaving!! He took a non-pulpit position in TX (where his wife's family lives), and he's outta here in a few short months.

Well, CRAP. We joined the synagogue specifically because we like him so much. I suppose it's time to synagogue-hop again ... that's never any fun, particularly for my husband, who is painfully shy on a good day.

For those of you who don't know, I challenged myself to grow my hair out for Locks of Love. They require 10" beyond the point at which you want it cut off (did that make sense?), and boyohboy, do I have a long way to go.

My hair was brutally short -- over my ears, maybe an inch on the top. Not spikey, but very close-cropped. Now I can get the back ( Read more... )

Welp, they're awake.

Since 6:15 AM.

Too early.

Doesn't really affect me, since I'm up every morning at 5:30 in order to be ready before Phil goes to work and the boys start to bellow. The problem with the boys waking up so early is that the tend to get tired (and crabby!) earlier than they "should" -- naptime is tradtionally at 1:00 PM in this ( Read more... )

Today was an outing to Busch Gardens. Boy, you haven't lived until you have shoved a 44-lb double stroller full of gear, incidentals, a cooler, diaper bag, and two toddlers up the hill by Timbuktu. Sheeeesh. Tomorrow is an easier event, so I plan on using my new Peg Perego double-wide instead of The Bus.

The girls are going to the movies tonight. * ( Read more... )

My younger son is desperately afraid of the vacuum.

We have two: one is a small upright, mostly used for the hardwood floors downstairs; the other is a canister that I use on the carpeted areas of the house.

The small bagless is LOUD. Combine that with its really annoying high-pitched whiiiiiiiiiine, and is it any wonder my baby screams, cries, ( Read more... )

I am technologically incoherent by this time each day, so I need someone to explain to me, in little words, how to upload and use LJ icons.

Thanks in advance!

Is there such a phenomenon as "journaler's block"? If so, I think I am experiencing it.

I want so much to write, but can't think of anything to say. I could chronicle each day's events. Maybe I will do that tomorrow.

Ah, good old Tru Capote: "That's not writing. That's typing."
