I was on a bus and a baby was crying..I heard a teenager say something like, "Babies shouldn't be allowed on buses." And I thought, "Rowdy teenagers shouldn't be allowed on buses!"Kids are sick...Avi has broncitis. I took off work today.My sister may need back surgery...ouch!Avi's walking!! Yes, yes, it's very early, but he can take about 5-10 steps without holding. However, now that he's sick,

Should I switch to livejournal? Would people read this more, because it would be on their "friends" page and could constantly see updates when checking out everyone's blogs?

Yom Kippur was good. I was nervous about the fast, as on Tisha B'Av I felt really sick toward the end...however, Boruch Hashem, it went well. (It helps that Avi eats more solids).I'm updating even thought there are no comments in a month (though- thank you, dear Dina, who commented but it didn't show up!).Nothing much going on here. I am really happy with my new job, B"H. The kids are really

It's my grandmother's 4th Yartzeit today. May she be a maylitz yosher for us all.I wanted to share a story about a time during the Holocaust when she was a young mother, trying to take care of my uncle, then just a little boy.She went and found food to feed her young son. She was found! The Nazis lined her up and shot. Boom! She fell to the ground. She pretended to be dead - but she was alive!

You may have heard about the DVD that was sent in the mail several months ago.We got a note in school about it. WARNING! Jews for J are sending out DVDs in Yiddish to people in several Jewish communities. The DVD looks innocuous (sp?) - they speak about nature and Moshiach, etc, in a very non-threatening way. And it's in Yiddish!Typical my husband...he wanted to see what they had to say.Thank

I love this photo of Yitzy, taken Friday. He really looks like the little boy that he is! He chats, is interested in books, and loves to watch Tatty at work!PS Thanks, EB, notice the cup in the picture! No more bottles (I hope!) for Yitzy!Here's Avi-cutie, after Dovid stamped him up with the address stamp. :) Unfortunately, I can't manage to get Avi's teeth in a picture. He has 2 bottom ones in,

Between erev Tisha B'Av and Tisha B'Av (plus the floor from beforehand), my house needs a GOOD (or great) cleaning today before Shabbos. I'm so glad not to have more work!Sunday night was horrible. Yitzy woke up around when I was going to sleep (12?) and couldn't fall back asleep. Something was bothering him and he looked so tired and was trying to fall asleep, but he kept waking up crying. It

I had a scare the other day. I was in the kitchen, preparing food, while the kids were playing around. I looked behind me at the baby (maybe he had made a noise?) and saw the baby had vomit coming out of his mouth! I realized right away that he was choking! I started thinking to myself - choking baby under 1 year, what do I do? But before I had a chance, the object came out of his mouth. He

The look of two bottom teeth coming in a toothless mouth....sweeeeeet!Now that Avi can sit well, sometimes Yitzy goes over and pushes Avi over. I've tried to stop him - "Don't touch Avi - boo, boo!" but he still does it. Any suggestions?Yitzy's singing a song he learned from the new Uncle Moishy (#1!) I just bought. "Torah tziva... mozeh!" sweeeeeeeeeeet! My little boy is really growing up. He

I’ve been thinking a lot of love and hate today. Not of people (thank G-d there's not many people I hate!), but of different things.For instance, this chocolate covered biscotti I got “by mistake”. It’s low fat but sinful when you eat several pieces. Ok, nevermind the little stuff. Mainly I was thinking about fax orders and crying it out. Every since I had Avigdor, I’ve been taking advantage

Yitzy's going to be 2 in less than a month! He is putting words together so nicely, and expressing simple thoughts."Mommy's bed!" he cries as we go to put him in his crib."I want vacuum" he demands."Mommy's home. Tatty's home. Avi's home. Yitzy's home," he states.Avi on the other hand, is quite active for an baby who can't yet crawl. I'm not really sure how, but if you put him in one place, he

I have a bedtime routine that I tried to stick to. A couple of nights ago (Tuesday night, I think) my sweet Yitzy said "I love you" for the very first time.Here's how it happened. I sing, "Good night, Yitzy...." So this time, he responded after each sentence.me: good night, yitzyhim: good night, tattyme: good night, yitzyhim: good night, mommyme: good night, yitzy, good night, good night, good

Avi's really becoming a little person! Monday he'll be 5 months. He had a dr's appointment on Friday and he got shots. He is now over 15 pounds! (We won't mention that Yitzy weighed that much at 3 months...all kids are different.) B"H growing nicely. He rolls over (at least back to belly, though he's done it the other way sometimes.)to be continued....baby woke up and I need to go to sleep!Okay,

Yitzy wakes up and I take him out of his crib. This happens many mornings. "Avi up?" he says/asks. He goes to my bedroom to my bed, where Avi is sleeping. "Avi up?" he says a few times. He is now....!He's developing a sense of humor (for a 1-year-old)...He put 2 diapers he found on Avi's head and said, "Avi's hat."He started putting together 2 words like 2 weeks before Pesach and now his

As were my 2 sons.I took them today to ToddlerRIF, which was introduced to me by "EB". It was really nice. I may have enjoyed it more than them."The Wheels on the Bus go round & round...." "Caps!

Hopefully he'll learn early to sleep longer...hopefully!Yitzy seems pleased with the new baby. He goes over to him and says "baby" really gently. We still have to watch out, though, because he doesn't know that touching

And Shabbos sheva brochos.Last night was a girl from my class' chasunah.It's so nice to have simchos B"H!One rant here, though -- how do people chat through such a kodosh time? Besides for to each other, which I won't comment on at this time.A cell phone rings during the chuppa. What would

When I've told some people that we'll be moving, they ask, "oh, did you buy a house?"Hello?!? This is Brooklyn. We're a Kollel Couple B"H. Do you think we're even dreaming of that? (Ok, well, I honestly am, but it's not happening anytime soon!). Perhaps in the distant future (20 years from now??) we'll be able to afford an apartment.... Anyhow, so to answer your questions -- B"H We are happy

A fourteen-month-old (kn'h) is fascinated by the world. Everything is still new and exciting to him and he sees things in ways you wouldn't imagine. Pushing my son in his carriage down the streets, he looks at the grass and the trees. He points to the grass and he points to the trees and then back at the grass. He babbles. Is he speaking (in his own way) of the wonders of Hashem's creations?

Mrs. Mosquito is back on the streets -- behind the wheel of a vehicle. (aaaahh!) As she attempts once again (after a 2 year break!) to learn the basics and beyond, she warns those of her city -- just in case someone from her city is reading this -- look THREE ways before crossing!

It's nice to out of the city. There's just something about countryside that makes you think about Hashem more. I prefer to live here than busy, busy Brooklyn.Today was our graduation from kindergarten. PHEW! A relief is what I'd call it. After all the practicing, the children sang their songs and it's over and that's the end of the worry! The last day of school is tomorrow and then I have a (

Somtimes things in our lives happen that gets us thinking.It doesn't even have to be something "big" or something significant, but it can (at least momentarily) set your mindset thinking seriously.Sometimes HaShem gives you a shock, or a nisayon, to get you thinking. Although you know everything is for the very best, it makes you think and put your bitachon in HaShem.And makes you appreciate all

When someone else needs the chizuk, the advice, it is so much easier that when you need it yourself. When you have to CONVINCE YOURSELF of things you've said, it's not always a piece of cake. HaShem gives you what you need. NO ONE can get what should be yours. I remember thinking/saying that with shidduchim. No one will marry the boy you are supposed to marry. If someone gets engaged to a

It's quite interesting taking care her! B"H She's a pretty good kid - only cries at bedtime (and in the middle of the night if/when she wakes up). Her favorite thing in my home, "Baby! Baby!"

It's quite a common disease. It's not like you don't know what needs to be done. The dishes are piling up in the sink. The laundry basket is overflowing. The refrigerator is empty. The floors are dirty. The housework is just staring at you in the face. So why isn't it done? Okay, hopefully we don't ALL have ALL that to be done. But I'm sure all of you reading this have some sort of list

If You Weren't Careful Before... On Friday I was making a cholent and was soaking the barley and beans. I noticed two worms floating on the top of the water. Eeewww....My husband said if I find one more, I have to throw out the whole thing. So I got curious and took out my bag of barley and started looking through the bag (I had just opened it that day, B"H). As I touched the barley around,

This One's For You.... For someone who is quite "bz" now, MAZEL TOV!I'm quite happy for you - you can't imagine.And, yes, in shock.I really do hope that, as busy as you are, B"H, you will have time to read this and email me! I really want details.Lots of simcha!

Chiggeroonies! Mazel Tov to Aishel on his engagement!! I remember a couple of years ago thinking that he's a "kid"...I guess he's not that much of a kid if he's engaged! Mazel tov, best of luck, and you should be zoche to build a bayis ne'eman b'Yisroel! It's mosquito season and my family is being kept quite busy. LOL. We were sitting outside the other day and were getting "bitten up." So we

If Only They Could Talk... When you're taking care of a baby, you really come to appreciate your speech. A baby can communication, but only in one way: waaaaaaa! He's hungry, he's dirty, he wants attention, he's uncomfortable, he's in pain.... how does he tell you? waaaaaaaaaa! And you, the caregiver, have to figure out what "waaa!" means. When was he fed last? A peek inside the diaper. Holding

Olam Chesed Yibuneh ~~ Yisroel Rachmanim bnei Rachmanim ~~ Mi K'Amcha Yisroel....  B'nei Yisroel are a nation like none other.  How so many people separately, and so many people together, go out of their way to help others is incredible.   When I witness the gadlus and kindness of individuals, it makes me think: I wish I was more like them.  I wish I did like they did.             There are those

Little Chochmas Today's "lesson" was making ices...So I asked my kids what we have to do before eating the freeze-pops. Little B replied, "Put it in the oven!" (Think we've been baking too many cakes with them??) Today a couple of the kids took their napkins at lunch and placed in their pizza to suck up the oil. "Azoi dich (like you)," 3-year-old Z told me. Hey, at least it's a healthy habit

Updates My mother's surgery went well, B"H, though she's in pain. Please continue to daven for her. While I was in the hospital visiting my mother this afternoon, I was able to visit a student's mother who had a baby this morning - so that was nice, B"H!

This & That Tomorrow is my graduation. My step-sister-in-law sent flowers (ordered online!). Isn't that thoughtful? I had a wonderful visit from Rivky and CC (also known as EH!) - it was a nice Shabbos afternoon surprise! On a sadder note, I was just told that my 2nd cousin's chasunah was cancelled. That's the boy who had the accident and they were raising money for.... Everything is for

Again?!? I have strep throat -- again! That's the 4th time since I'm married! I think I've had strep more this year than I have in my entire life - how strange! B"H My husband hasn't had it at all during this time; I guess I'm catching it from my students or something. Anyhow, I'm feeling well, B"H, so don't worry. I just know that if I ever have a sore throat, I need to check it out right away!

Kallah pleads: "Help him walk to our chupah" This headline catches my attention in an ad in the Yated this week. I read on: "A tragedy has befallen a young engaged couple. A horrific accident caused both the Chosson's legs to be amputated. The Chasunah is schedule for I"YH June 13th. As the Kallah said, 'Whatever Hashem sent us we must accept, and go on from here.'

This & That We got a "new" (for us) table. It looks great and is more roomy. We went to Willy last week to get it. It was quite a task to bring in back here! I took a teachers' examination today. I need it in order to get permanent certification. I hope I did okay. Unlike the other exams (the LAST and ATS-W), this exam, the multi-subject contect specialty tests, doesn't really have any

Was That Her? I was at the Hatzolah of BP Chinese Auction and the place was PACKED. Outside, after getting a water bottle, trying to get through the crowd of kids and adults and more kids, I see a woman waving to me -- or in my direction. You know what it's like when someone is waving toward you and you're not sure if they're waving TO you? You don't want to wave back...on the possibility that

Nice Shabbos Shabbos was nice - great guests! There are some really nice pictures of my husband's Rosh Yeshiva in this week's Yated...they show pictures of the rabbanim who went to E"Y for Lev L'Achim. I bought the "HaMishpocha" new magazine this week - it's GREAT. Too bad it'll be out every week...in a way I wish it was less often cuz it has SO much to read and the introductory price won't last

2 and 3 Year Olds Can Help, Too! Yes, they can be BIG helpers. Now I'm not saying to start hiring out your nieces or taking in slave-labor...but sometimes help from a little pair of hands is helpful!

The Taste Test I don't know if you remember, but a loooong while back (like September, maybe?) I asked for a good challah recipe. Nut gave me one, which came out DELISH!
