It’s John McCain, on Meet the Press. Go watch. I’ll wait.
Okay, now really, how can anyone vote for him? Of course, lots of people forget stuff. I forget stuff all the time – names of [...]

The American election is coming up very soon. I was a good girl and voted in our wildly-exciting Canadian one, doing my bit to try to unseat the Conservatives. It didn’t work. I didn’t really care. I would have liked pretty much any of the other party to form the government, but since the Conservatives [...]

I’m tired.
It’s a lot of fun and really interesting being in the school so much but I really am tired.
One of the big problems with working, I’ve discovered, is that you are required to dress like a civilized human being. Like many journalists I know, and even some stay-at-home moms, I dress like a student [...]

Mary G, over at Them’s My Sentiments, asked in her latest post:
If you were asked why you had children, if you wanted them, what would you answer? Would it be an easy answer, or a struggle like this one?
You should go over and read it yourself, if only for the adorable picture of her girls [...]
Holidays and work and bat mitzvahs

It’s been a little crazy around here, what with Rosh Hoshanah having just happened, and Yom Kippur, and Sukkot and random other Jewish holidays on the horizon. My kids get them all off school. Plus, we are trying to plan Maya’s bat mitzvah. Plus I kind of got a job. Because, you know, 3 kids, [...]
