Santa Isn’t Jewish

Posted in Family, Humor, Kids, Laughs, Parenting, tagged , on December 21, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

Happy Everything to Everyone.. Here’s my annual Christmas for Jews post!  Enjoy! Santa Claus isn’t Jewish. That was my daughter the other day, explaining to her friend why, though she believes in Santa, he isn’t coming to our house this, or any other, year. Well, can’t say she’s wrong, can I? I was relieved to [...]

Sick as a Dog

Posted in Family, Humor, Parenting, pets, tagged , , , on December 11, 2009 | 1 Comment »

I’ve always wondered where the expression “sick as a dog” came from.  Now I know. Our new puppy, Bentley, has been sick – on and off – more or less since we rescued him.  In the past six weeks, we’ve been through three rounds of medication for Giardia, which is a  parasite common to puppies, [...]

Sleepaway Summer: I’m shipping off the kids..and I’m already homesick.

Posted in Family, Kids, Parenting, tagged , , on December 7, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

I loved my sleepaway camp.  Never mind that my last summer there one of my bunkmates got Herpes and both of my counselors got knocked up — by the same guy.  I had fun. I made friends, I sang, took dance classes, tried to water ski and ending up losing my viriginity to a lake [...]

Mean Mommy Confessions

Posted in Family, Humor, Kids, Laughs, Parenting, tagged , , , , on August 26, 2009 | 2 Comments »

The whining, the nagging, the rudeness, the backtalk.  Ah, yes.  The joys of parenting. I’m sure that whoever you are, your kids are PERFECT.  But it can’t be just me.  Can it? Please tell me it’s not just me.  That I am not the only mother being driven crazy by her own kids. Mama, mama, [...]

Who's Afraid of the Water Park? Me, that's who.

Posted in Family, Humor, Neurosis, Parenting, Weight on July 25, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

I have trekked through the rain forests of Costa Rica.  I have biked 18 miles up-hill to the top of  Mount Constitution in Washington State. I have traveled through Turkey – by myself – with blond hair.  But the ideaof going to Splish Splash Water Park terrifies me. It’s not the possibility of drowning *though [...]

NYC Moms Blog Post: My Daughter Thinks She's Fat and It's all my Fault

Posted in Aging, Beauty, Family, Kids, Neurosis, Parenting, Uncategorized, Weight, tagged , , , on June 4, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

Swimsuit season is upon us.  And with it the onslaught of diet ads on tv, magazines with pics of celebs caught having actual cellulite, and me, bemoaning my post-partum, post-forty, past passing for anything but middle-aged body. Though I am, if I am completely, intellectually honest, neither truly fat, or particularly unattractive, I have made [...]

Can I Have Mothers Day Off?

Posted in Family, Humor, Kids, Laughs, Parenting, Rants, tagged , , on May 10, 2009 | 2 Comments »

Here’s a typical day for me: Wake up. Check mirror. Cringe. But realize there’s no time to shower. I’ve got to get the kids to school no later than 8:25. Since this is NYC, I do not have the option to get in my car in my pajamas, drop off my kids, and drive home [...]

Leave Carrie Prejean Alone!

Posted in Beauty, Parenting, Rants, tagged , , on May 9, 2009 | 1 Comment »

So Carrie Prejean, the controversial Miss California USA (not for long?) once posed for nude photos.  Is anyone out there surprised?  Let’s face it, these days, there are LOTS of girls sending nude photos of themselves out over the internet.  One of them is even being prosecuted for distribution of child pornography – for sending [...]

Bagels are Kosher for Passover, right?

Posted in Family, Food, Humor, Laughs, Parenting, tagged , , , on April 11, 2009 | 1 Comment »

I had a bagel for breakfast today.  Normally, that wouldn’t be a big deal.  Maybe not the wisest choice, given the tagline of my blog– but not such a big deal, either. Except that I’m Jewish, it’s Passover, and I’m not supposed to be eating bagels. I’m supposed to be eating Matzoh.  So I’m feeling [...]

The MOMcademy Awards

Posted in Family, Humor, Laughs, Parenting, tagged , on February 22, 2009 | 3 Comments »

Unless you’re living under a rock (or a large stack of diapers), you must know by now that The Academy Awards are tonight. Honestly, do these people need an excuse to look even more fabulous than usual?  Do they really need to celebrate themselves?  They’re already rich, famous, and have way better hair than the [...]
