Red carpet report: Uma Thurman, Mayor Daley at "Motherhood" Chica
2009-10-09 02:59:00 On the AMC River East red carpet to promote the Chicago Film Festival's opening night film "Motherhood," Uma Thurman answered my question of "Where's a good place to buy momjeans?" with only an eyeroll. The assumption: She just didn't want to leave out any retailers with an answer.And when I asked who had the harder job, her super-busy mother of two in "Motherhood" or her ass-kicking revenge hound in "Kill Bill," (no, I did not phrase the question that way), she simply laughed and said, "Both jobs are pretty tough."So not much juice from this very brief, otherwise star-free red carpet, though Mayor Daley also made an appearance, so I asked him what would be the title of a movie...
Gender Biased
2009-09-08 05:35:00 I must confessed that I am someone that is gender biased. I have 2 girls and a boy, no doubt I love them equally, but I can’t deny that deep in me I am one who is gender biased. Way before I am even a mother, I can only visualize myself having daughters and how ...
Strapless
2009-09-01 03:00:00 I usually hang out at Rooster's pre-k playground for awhile after I pick her up.It gives her a chance to play longer with her best friend and I effectively kill time until I can go pick up The Mayor.[And it would be unfair not to admit that I really like the standing around and talking with the other parents part.]Over time, I have developed a friendship with the parents of one of The Rooster's best friends.The wife is secretly hysterical.She is an introvert and, should you meet her on the street, you might find her quiet, but you would not know her true nature.She endlessly e-mails me links to you tube videos of Latvian, Pirate Eurovision contestants.Recently, after I retaliated with a little failed Karaoke, she admitted that "Tuts My Barreh" is her new make-out, come on, theme song.[So you can see why I like talking to her.]And that is just what I was doing when I heard,"Mommy, come strap me in!"The Rooster and her friend had climbed up on the baby swings.Now, technically, they...

Softly She Sang
2009-08-04 03:51:00 "I am with you and we are together..."She softly sang to herself as we drove along.My mother and husband were in the front seat and I was sandwiched between The Mayor and The Rooster's car seats.The Mayor begged for me to keep my right arm limp while he beat himself in the head with it and laughed.[Oh, the proud.]Out in the Pacific Northwest, visiting my mother, my brother-in-law's family and joined by Grandma New York, we made our way towards Fort Worden State Park on the Olympic Peninsula.The Grandmas treated us all to a stay at an amazing house, The Retreat at Sycamore, seemingly designed for the sole purpose of drawing out your inner Zen Buddhist.Every inch of the house and grounds made you want to sit quietly and simply contemplate.[Too bad those of us in on the treat included four children under the age of seven who beat the house's giant gong incessantly, taking only intermittent breaks to divert yet still more water from the "personal cannonball pool" also known as the ho...

Alright, whose jackin? my chickens?!

When I asked the kids who was jackin’ my chickens they started laughing and couldn’t stop. Literally, they laughed for half an hour and “jackin’ my chickens” has ...
Thump and Pummel
2009-06-09 03:00:00 The other morning at summer camp, The Mayor greeted another boy with a chest thump.The two of them actually jumped into the air and bumped into each other, on purpose, chest first.This was a greeting.[Odd animals, these things called boys.]Similarly, we went away a few weekends ago with a family that we don't often see.They have a boy who is 18 months older than The Mayor and, though they've met before, this weekend was the longest they've ever spent together.They acquainted themselves with one another through a series of elaborate wrestling maneuvers, gut punches and general body thrashings.When they weren't doing bodily harm to one another they were shooting each other with guns fashioned from drinking straws, twigs, tinker toys -- anything they could find -- because despite my politically correct, Mom 2.0-ness...WE DO NOT PLAY WITH GUNS IN THIS FAMILY! GUNS ARE NOT TOYS!GUNS ARE DANGEROUS!...my child can and does pretend that anything he is holding is a gun.Through all their ...

ABC cuts the order request for In The Motherhood
2009-04-01 00:47:00 After only one airing against American Idol, ABC has cut the episode order of In The Motherhood from 13 to 6 according to Variety.

Inhaling powdered sugar almost causes fatality
2009-01-16 01:20:00 Seattle, WA (AP)- In a freak accident, a Seattle housewife almost died today after inhaling powdered sugar while eating a cookie.

While the incident appears to an accident, the ...

Word of the day by son #2
2008-11-04 07:43:00 Etiquette: These are some good etiquette rules that I follow: Don’t talk with your moth full, and put your napkin on your lab. I hate it when people talk with full moths. Yes folks, he spelled etiquette right but not mouth and lap. &-#160;
Well if he didn?t need therapy before, he does now.
2008-10-20 03:32:00 Many years ago, this poster: terrified my son. It was hanging up in a place we used to frequent and he would scream his lungs out every time he saw it. I would have to go out of my way to avoid the place or avert his eyes while we passed until Halloween was over. In ...
I am now embarassing to my children. So I?m going for broke.
2008-10-16 22:20:00 For some reason, my second grader has decided this year that it is embarassing for me to give him a hug and kiss in the morning. I had to chase him for half a block a few weeks ago to get my kiss and hug in. I paid for that with severe knee pain from ...

Well At Least the Swelling Should Go Down
2008-10-06 10:00:00 I'm sure you're sick of me whining and complaining about the traumas of a massive remodel--you might recall that last Thursday I mentioned how the dry wall hangers took three days to finally arrive and do the job? Well on Thursday when they showed up to finish the job they got their come-uppence. I think we're even for all the irritation they've caused.There were two of them, one was a large, hairy, bearded, chubby, Russian guy. Though I don't actually think he was Russian, for some reason one of the kids heard him talking--probably using words that were so colorful and foreign to their vocabulary they assumed he must be Russian-- and from that point on we called him the Russian.And then there was his sidekick, Manuel. Actually, his name wasn't Manuel either it was Louis (as in the Spanish version of the name--he was Latino) and if you've ever seen Fawlty Towers on the BBC then you'll get an idea of why we called him Manuel.When I say he was a sidekick I really mean he w...

Things I've Completely Let Go
2008-10-02 10:00:00 Everyone has their little quirks right? If you were to look in my closet normally you'd see my clothes hung by length and variety. Jeans then pants then short skirts then long skirts then dresses . . . (I try to refrain from insisting they be grouped by color as well).For some reason I was born with this weird condition--some would call it a disease--that requires me to have everything perfectly neat. Dirty dishes in the sink, laundry on the floor--it all leaves me with these shivers of anxiety. Must . . . put . . . socks . . . in . . . hamper . . .So with all of our tarp-covered possessions being lumped in the middle of the living room and kids sleeping on floors and sheet rock dust giving everything a nice powdery finish I'm just a ball of nerves. Or at least I was.Sad to say I've felt my apathy growing until I just don't care anymore. Gasp. Have you heard about how a mind in pain--maybe through grief or loss--goes into this defensive numbing? Well that must be what I...

It?s all there in the recipe?
2008-08-25 23:56:00 Sometimes our senses can transport us back to another place, another time. Perhaps we catch a scent of a cologne that reminds us of a grandfather who died more than two decades earlier, or we hear a song that brings back our high school prom like we’re standing there swaying awkwardly all over again. I discovered that ...

Sandwich Bag Magic
2008-08-20 10:01:00 Here's a good game for the last days of summer heat. (Did you get any? Sooo jealous) Fill a plastic sandwich bag with water and take turns sticking very sharp pencils through the bag to see how many pencils the bag can take (and it's quite a few I'll warn you).If anyone lets loose the water they're out--but as much fun as this is for a warm summer day I doubt you'll have any complaints.Sponsored by The Fine Art of Family--Beautiful jewelry by designer Monica Rich Kosann.Technorati tags: children, activities, motherhood

. . . And Motherhood Marches On
2008-08-13 10:00:00 Fourteen and a half years ago my baby looked like this. This week she registered for high school.I drove her to the building and it was like traveling through a twenty-year time warp as we walked up the front walkway where students had set up boom boxes, playing in the sun while tossing footballs and barbecuing hot dogs.We walked inside through the registration stations so she could get her student I.D., class schedule and locker assignment but when we passed the table where you could sign up for the swim team this handsome tall, senior swimmer with wavy blond hair and a perfect smile called out to her: "Hey! Do you want to join the swim team?"She did this shy little "Who me?" move then when she realized this manly Olympian was talking to her her cheeks flushed, she stammered a bit and began to think that maybe swimming was the sport for her. She probably would have signed on the dotted line if it hadn't meant hanging out in a bathing suit, swim cap and goggles under the scrutiny...

Favorite Beauty Stuff
2008-07-17 10:00:00 This seems like a rather girly post to put before you--where's my list of favorite Stallone movies or my tribute to grunge rock or a list of best moments in sports history? Sorry, not this week folks I'm needing all the beautification help I can get and here's my list of things that seem to do the trick for me.1. Camille Beckman Glycerin Hand Therapy. I love this stuff because not only is it thick and rich but it doesn't grease up my hands and will stay in place, doing its wonders, for hours. There are a bunch of great fragrances but my favorite is Hyacinth-Bluebell which--horrifying to behold--has been discontinued as of May 2008. Where's the justice in that? Just as my jar runs out they discontinue my favorite scent. I'm going to have to find another favorite I suppose. Maybe I'll try the Passion Pear or Pink Grapefruit. I don't care for the stronger scents like Lime Leaves which I tried one time and it left me with big ol' Man Hands the way it smelled.2. Cliniq...

I say it's brilliant.I'll never have to worry about orphaned socks again--that pile of mystery socks in my laundry room is now haute couteur.

The Last Child
2008-06-06 10:00:00 The knock on the door was so quiet you wouldn?t have thought I?d hear it, just three little taps with pauses in between but I was instantly awake. My mom brain has been trained to hear everything that goes on in the house as night--I don't think I've slept completely through the night since the day Grace was born.?Come in,? I said, full of anxiety because interruptions in the middle of the night are never good news. Lillian opened the door and she was sobbing. Not just a sniffling thing where she works every tear for pity points but sobbing-?her eyes were splotchy and her shoulders were hunched up and she was shaking with the force of it all.?I?m scared! The wind is blowing the house down and I?m scared!? she said, nearly hysterical.I?ve never been a very patient mother, I really do try to be calm--I promise I try--but I tend to push my kids along in an rush for efficiency and I don?t stop for much along the way. But . . . when there are emergencies I?m good. I'm not sure why ...

Survive at the First Month of New Motherhood
2008-06-03 05:41:00 I recently found a great article which really helpful for every new mother in the world. This article will provide you with the tips and warnings how to survive at the first month of your new motherhood.

Someone I'd Like You to Meet: Lizzy from My Ice Cream Diary
2008-05-30 10:00:00 I feel quite confident that should life ever allow this woman's path to cross my own that I'd love being her friend. Why? Well we have quite a bit in common She's married, I'm married; she's got four kids, I've got four kids; she even has hers in the same order as I do (a girl, two boys and a girl).She loves Settlers of Catan as much as I do (to the point of memorializing the game in cupcakes), she loves ice cream and here I've been petitioning to have Ben and Jerry canonized as saints for years now. If for nothing else, the introduction of Caramel Sutra into my life qualifies them for sainthood.Yes, the similarities are spooky--she likes Cheetos with her apple pie, I like Cheetos with my apple pie. Oops, no, strike that. She's on her own with that one.But regardless, since I've started reading Lizzy's blog, My Ice Cream Diary, I've enjoyed her writing and her family and feel quite sure that we'd be good friends if our homes were just closer.

Memorial Day Quilt
2008-05-27 10:00:00 Last year on May 26th my nephew Alex drowned in a lake near his home. Seven years old and profoundly autistic, he was a charming master of escape and even with all the precautions his parents had taken to prevent such a tragedy he slipped away and by the time neighbors and family could locate him it was too late.It was a time our family will always remember and we think of Alex often, especially at family get-togethers where we notice his absence more than ever. For my sister Memorial Day has a special significance in the son she's lost.I haven't written about it until now because there was a lot of misrepresentation in our local media. People who didn't know the family heard incomplete stories in the news and assumed the worst about the care Alex had received--some editorials were quick to judge without having all the facts. I didn't want to be involved in the noise and didn't want to cause more pain for my sister and her family by calling more attention to the things some...

Just Ask Her
2008-05-16 21:36:00 She planted herself in front of us this morning teetering on her twisted legs like a tree swaying in the wind.Her teeth trapped her bottom lip inside her mouth.With elbows locked, she held her thumbs and forefingers outstretched. Her remaining fingers curled into her palms giving her the appearance of a gunslinger. A strap around her neck held a laptop sized key board with a built in screen for reading digital text.Like most mornings, she stared at us with something like defiance or urgency? or something else.Upon encountering her, both The Mayor and The Rooster grabbed one of my hands and snuggled against my legs.Despite having drawn close, they were both wide-eyed with curiosity.They see her everyday but have never said anything about her.Though she?s a teenager, her mother drops her off at The Mayor and The Rooster?s daycare every morning, presumably because it opens and hour earlier than the high school.I think she has cerebral palsy, but I?ve never asked.She can walk but to co...

What Do You Do When Your Child Lies?
2008-05-16 10:00:00 I received an interesting email this week and want to see what your thoughts are on the matter:Hi, this is way off topic but I thought I would ask you for some advice. I just found out that my 12 year-old son forged my signature on a note sent home by his teacher. Then when I found it, he continued to lie about it. As I sit here eating crow and popping anti acids I am clueless as what to do. I've asked to meet with two of his teachers and told him that all TV, video games, and computers are out of bounds for him. But how long can I do that? Any suggestions? I'm desperate. Have your kids done this? Please say yes, I don't want to think that I'm alone on this one. OK, deep breaths and some chocolate and a few hours of sleep should put this in perspective. Right?I'd almost like to say nothing more, but leave this open to comments and see what you have to say but I don't want to cop out on you here. I'll tell you what I said in response but then I want to hear if you've had sim...
