Today we attended a Labor Day parade. Gabby’s chosen outfit was jeans, a pink shirt with the word “Rock” spelled out in sequins, purple fingerless gloves that I wear while running on cold days, and a black knit cap with a brim which she wore cocked to the side. Oh– and yellow glitter socks under [...]

I just returned home from Expectation Night at school, and Dave and I had the following conversation: DAVE: How was it? JULIE: Fine. But: what do you think is the significance of the number 42? DAVE: The number of times you fell down at Expectation Night. JULIE: DAVE: JULIE: DAVE: Oh, come ON. You know you fall down all the time. JULIE: DAVE: All the time, [...] Dear People Who Came Up With Moshi Monsters, an Online Game Where Kids Can Create Their Own Lovable Monster and Then Spend Every Moment of Their Time Caring for This Thing to Keep it Alive: I hate you. Hugs and kisses, Julie ************************ Dear Lovely Little Vegan Cafe Where I Bought Two “Chocolate Brownie” Cupcakes Last Night: Zucchini + applesauce does [...] I think the first day of school is a total waste. Half-day, nothing gets done, they send home a bunch of new forms for us to fill out which they could easily give out at another time…. AND there’s Walk-Through day, AND THEN there’s Expectation Night.

Here are the events surrounding the zoo trip: 1.

So naturally, it stands to reason that my girls would adore it. Addie J refers to [...] Yesterday, Gabby was asking me why she can’t have Diet Coke and M&Ms (not to be confused with Eminem, whom Gabby calls “M&Ms”) for every meal. So I was trying to be all healthful-thinking and creative about it, and I was telling her to think of her body like an engine. “When you put good [...] 1. When I told Dave about the DRTBAG license plate, he suggested that maybe this guy meant “Dr. Teabag.” As if that’s better. 2. Gabby hurled her Weenie Wednesday hot dog and fries all over the van; also the Target parking lot; also Addie J’s feet as she sat helpless and freaking in her carseat. I [...] …..from our last two days in the city. On Tuesday my mom, Jill and her girls accompanied us to the Field Museum. Then the kids and I plus Cammy’s friend stayed overnight downtown and spent Wednesday kicking around the city. Here is some of the crap that went down: 1.
