Chase The Boy

Posted by Emily

Note to Readers:  I’m still a little giddy and a lot tired from the past weekend.  Apologies in advance for pulling a “stream of consciousness, Jodie Foster-esque” rant below.  But it’s a happy rant, so I hope you’ forgive me. The balls of my feet are worn.  My limbs feel like they weigh about 800 [...]

Blessed

Posted by Emily

Last night I closed all the open files that had monopolized my computer screen for weeks.  The directions to the synagogue for the guests, the table settings, the photo montage of Noah, the songs for the DJ to play, the to-do lists that kept changing – they all went into the archives perhaps to be [...]

We Now Return to My Life…Already in Progress

Posted by Emily

At approximately 2:00 p.m. this afternoon I will be going off the grid as the whole family gears up for Noah’s Bar Mitzvah weekend.  To say that I have been a bit consumed by the preparations would be a fair statement.  I honestly never thought I would become one of those people – but I [...]

Pray for THE Day

Posted by Emily

With less than two weeks to go before Noah’s Bar Mitzvah, an unexpected fear has taken up shop in my head.  There it lives, quiet most of the time, except for the six or seven three or four times each day when it whispers insidiously to me, preparing me for the worst.  I’m not worried [...]

Be Careful What You Wish For

Posted by Emily

It’s Saturday morning and Noah and I have to run to the bookstore to pick up a gift for a friend.  I hop in the car; he hops in the passenger seat… with his Nintendo DS and turns it on. Me:  Put that thing back in the house. Noah:  Why? Me:  It’s an eight minute [...]

How to Make a Jewish Mother Crazy

Posted by Emily

I know what you are going to say.  You don’t make a Jewish mother crazy.  It’s in the Torah that we should be this way.  Really.  Truth be told, all mothers carry with them their own personal versions of insanity.  We Jews tend to be a bit control freaky.  Take away our control, you take [...]

L’Dor Vador

Posted by Emily

This past weekend we all traveled to Worcester, (say Wooster) Massachusetts for our niece Eliza’s Bat Mitzvah.  It was lovely in every way so I made a few keen mental notes as Noah’s Bar Mitzvah is just 17 months away and…..THUMP. (Sorry, I momentarily passed out.) Anyways, as I was saying, there were a few [...]
