There are times when your child does something that makes you love them so fiercely that you almost can’t bear it. George is in New Orleans this week, so I’ve been dropping Lawrence off at my parents’ house before I go to work. They give him breakfast and take him to school (it is so [...]
Doctor Mom
Monday, June 11, 2007
I spent most of Mother’s Day in the hospital. Below you can see the picture of my poor baby, Lawrence, hooked up to an IV. He had been feverish (up past 104 degrees) and throwing up the previous week. We had taken him to his pediatrician two days after it started. He found that both [...]
Had to record this…
Friday, May 4, 2007
I had to record this for posterity. We had to take Lawrence to the emergency room in the middle of the night because he was having severe abdominal pain. He had been sick the previous week with a fever and throwing up. We found out at the hospital that he had pneumonia, but also was [...]

I’m not trying to be mean, but guys, as a group you have no idea how to shop for your woman. There are [...]
Move over, Boy George
Thursday, November 16, 2006
Okay, I’m probably going to parenting hell for this, but I swear he begged to wear my earrings and then asked me to take a picture: Granted, he didn’t say anything about posting it on the Web, but he’ll need fodder for therapy someday anyway.
Bag Lady
Monday, November 13, 2006
Have you ever noticed how many freaking bags and backpacks you use once you’re a parent? Last night I had to prepare three bags for Lawrence to take to preschool today. One had his sheet and blanket for nap-time, which I have to take home on Fridays and wash over the weekend, and then of [...]
We all know that look
Friday, October 27, 2006
All parents know this look. It’s the look they have on their faces when they’re thinking of doing something that they’re not supposed to do, right? I still don’t know what he was plotting.
