So Mother’s Day is over, and all I can say is, thank the gods. I know most moms look forward to Mother’s Day. Probably because they’re normal and well-adjusted people who are totally chill about spending a nice Sunday with family, getting an over-priced piece of jewelry designed by Jane Seymour, and maybe going out…

The story continues — we’re back in the early 1990′s. Peter has already left Eric and Kauai after his father came and “collected” him. Now Peter is going to Stanford Law School and dating Jen. Want to catch up? You can start at the beginning here. Or get a list of everything here. Or go…

Last weekend, the kids each had a sleepover. Unfortunately, I couldn’t manage to schedule them both on the same night, so it kind of felt like an elementary school B&B here (except for the part where I drag my ass out of bed and cook everyone breakfast). Anyway, my buddy, Cheryl Mancine-Saltzman, who’s much more…

Today is Jasper Adoption Day. One year ago, we brought home our little 10-pound puppy. Now he’s a whopping 70+ (frankly not sure of the exact amount because I hurt my back trying to weigh him the last time). I love having a dog. And I wouldn’t exchange Jasper for any other one, even though…

The other night, while I was up with insomnia, I started making a “You Suck” list. It’s just one of many lists that go through my head when my other non-sleeping choices are to: Make a list from the other 100 lists regarding everything from “Brilliant blog posts that come to me…at 2 a.m.” to…

We’re back in 1991. This is the continuation of last week’s story when Eric met the fabulous Frangelica. Want to get caught up? Start here. And if you want a list of the whole shebang, go here. ******** “So, was that a friend of yours?” Eric looked up to see a tall, heavy-set man standing next to…

So I woke up to an email that made my blood boil this morning. A friend sent me this: I’m only sharing this with you because we are pretty similar in a lot of ways, and I think you’ll get my sheer outrage. My son has been the victim of sexual assault, harrassment and bullying…

A few years ago, I made the HUGE mistake of sending the kids on a treasure hunt to lead them to their Easter presents. Yes, we’re the jerks who get Easter presents for our kids. Try not to hate me too much. A lot of this stems from the fact that my mother, who was…
