Light

Posted by Jessie

I didn’t know what to do about posting a blog this week.  My head feels like a box of mismatched jigsaw pieces…..all from different puzzles.  One voice said, “Just shut up, no one needs to hear from you, show some respect, stay silent.”  The voice had some valid points. But then there was this smaller, [...]

Just In Time Gifts

Posted by Emily

Author’s Note:  It is with mixed emotion that I publish the post below today.  I’m not sure how long it will take to feel “normal” after last week.  But I offer a bit of this “blogging as usual” in absence of any grand explanations or offers of solace – both which I have none of [...]

The Bottom Line

Posted by Jessie

Last week I had Phoebe’s first parent-teacher conference with her two pre-school teachers, Sue and Sue.  Or as Phoebe calls them, “Da Two Sooze.” As a former teacher, I am wise to the behavioral euphemisms used in parent-teacher conferences.  It’s a little like real estate lingo: cozy = shoebox as is= tear down easy access [...]

Last Call

Posted by Emily

We waited for you to get home to tell you. These are not the words that most Moms prefer to hear from their husband and kids upon returning from a week long business trip across the country. Because we know that the ensuing story is one that is going to be upsetting. It will be [...]

How To Be Yourself…Whoever That Is

Posted by Jessie

When Phil drives Emma home from gymnastics, she tells him stuff.  Stuff she would never tell me.  I can’t imagine why.  Phil thinks it’s because I tend to overreact.  “WHAT THE F***K ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT!?” is my response to that. Over turkey sandwiches later that night, Phil gave me a debriefing on their post-gymnastics [...]

Crossing the Streams

Posted by Emily

This week I will be attempting something very difficult. Yesterday morning I came out to San Francisco where I am now working with a production crew to film four different promo videos in as many days for work. Our work will take us from an indoor pool in the East Bay to the streets of [...]
