School delay for Superbowl...you're kidding, right?

I just read that Pittsburgh Public Schools will have a 2-hour delay on Monday due to the Superbowl . Wait. What? I think I did a triple take when I saw the story. Are they kidding? I know this is a football town and all (hey, I grew up near Buffalo, I...

Dear Winter - A breakup letter

Dear Winter, I'm sorry to have to do this, but I have to break up with you. I know writing a letter is a bit impersonal, but I'm stuck in the house because of the ice. So a letter will have to suffice. I'd say it's not you, it's me...

Military moms - I salute you

I reconnected with a good college friend on Facebook recently (don't you just love Facebook!?). Her husband is a military man who is currently on tour in Iraq. They have an 8-month-old baby as well as a 12-year-old daughter and Brian is gone for a...

I miss my husband

I miss my husband. He hasn't gone anywhere. He's not traveling. But, still, I miss him. I miss US . I was chatting with a friend the other day about our honeymoons. That led me to remember the days when we would just spend the whole day together...

Bathing suit season is coming...I've got my hankerchief ready

I'm a Lerner girl. Most of the clothes I own come from NY & Company (I still seem to want to call it Lerner). I like that they're tasteful, appropriate for my age group and have talls that are really, really tall. I've always had great...

Eat your dinner or you'll go to bed hungry

In yet another fantastic display of karma, something I used to judge parents on and swore I'd never do is coming back to bite me in the ass. I'm afriad to even admit this for fear of the backlash of "who's the boss?" I'll get...

And the crowd went wild. Here we go....Obama

I just had the pleasure of watching the inauguration with hundreds of cheering college students. It was like being at a football game (except warmer). I'm so moved by the entire day. I was emotional all morning just listening to the coverage on NPR...

Pittsburgh Family Fun - Travelogue

I think there may be something wrong with me. I'm am the anti-homebody. I can't remember a single day (not a single one!) that I've stayed in the house the entire day. I have a very difficult time remembering a day when I didn't go somewhere...

Running away from home

Do you ever want to run away from home? Just for a day? I sure do. I'm in the middle of a winter funk (I'll write more about that another day) and I'm just feeling blah. The Steeler's game tonight has me daydreaming of the 'ole days...

When good haircuts go bad

My boys needed a haircut this week. Badly. I took them to the cheap place inside our local WalMart and Matthew did fine. He sat perfectly still and got a decent (albeit very quick and very short) haircut. Then it was Ben's turn. He was having NONE...

Yes, we love them, but do we LIKE them?

A few weeks ago I read an entry on a friend's blog about how she just didn't LIKE her kid right now. Of course she loves him, that goes without saying, but she just didn't really LIKE him. They weren't meshing. I thought it was an odd...
