Vote for Brandy!
As a young kid my parents covered my health insurance. In England, we used National Health Service doctors. No copays. No fees. All free health care. Of course, if you required a specialist the wait time could be lengthy. A cousin of mine waited 1 year for tear duct surgery. Madness. In the U.S.,... »
Scraping, Chipping, and Planing…
After a cancellation due to snow I am back from the dreaded Periodontist appointment. I knew I needed to deal with the recessed gum on one tooth. Have known for years. But when three different dentists say “Yeah, you need to see a periodontist,” you make the appointment. I’m a little drugged now. Penicillin is... »
Reflections on a Good Day of Volleyball
It’s a fact that I am a Volleyball Mom who is not the least bit sporty. I have three kids and a husband who more than make up for my shortcomings by being extremely sporty. The teen plays volleyball. She swims in the summer…somewhat under duress. The tween plays volleyball AND swims yearround…not under duress. The 6-year-old... »
Make a Break for It: Snowbound in D.C.
Roads — Plowed. Driveway — Clear. Suitcases — Packed. Kids — Excited. Adults — Relieved. At the unseemly hour of 6 a.m. Coach Dad, the tween, and the teen, fired up the old SUV…loaded up the bags…packed the snacks…and headed out of Dodge. After almost a week snowbound, it was a blessing to be able to leave our home. Our... »
Pucker Up for the Neosporin 3-Day Challenge
Winter is wonderful if…there is snow on the ground. And the snow must be pristine, white, freshly fallen snow…not slushy, brown, bracken-ish snow. With snow on the ground, I can survive low temperatures, wind chill, and bone-chilling cold. But, take away the snow and add in the cold, you would be left with a... »
Dog Days of Summer Revisited
Summer is but a distant memory. Had to scrape about a 1/2 foot of snow of my van a week or so ago. Drove around a corner just as the snow on my roof slid off. Dreading the next time the driveway freezes. Thank you driveway that gets very little sun and ends up like... »
H1N1 Answers from Dr. Mark Rosenberg
Back in the fall my normally “go with the flow on anything related to the kids’ medical health” husband, made a stand about H1N1. He was ADAMANT that the children — a kid, a preteen, and a teen — would not receive the H1N1 vaccine. I was flabbergasted by his stance. Our family is no... »
Cervical Cancer: Pearls of Wisdom
Thank God cervical cancer has not hit my family — is all I can say. Cervical cancer is a brutal, unrelenting disease that strikes indiscriminately. Cervical cancer kills thousands of women in the U.S. each year. I participated in a conference call through SVMoms. I write for DCMetroMoms. The call was informative and touching in a... »
Having a Morning…
My dining room office floor is littered with hole punches. Is that what you call the little circular piece of paper left over from hole punching? My Christmas tree is still up and partially decorated. Ditto for every other Christmas decoration. The kids still have the odd Christmas present stashed here, there, and everywhere. My... »
“Due” You Have a Tax Deduction Baby?
As New Year’s Day dawns I cannot help but recall New Year 1995-1996. 1995 seems like years ago as I sit here in the early hours of 2010. So much has happened to our family and me since then. Some of my new mom readers were probably in high school or college almost 14 years ago! Not that I... »
