Feed All the Animals: March 2000

http://feedalltheanimals.blogspot.com/2000_03_01_archive.html

Feed All the Animals. Adam may have named all the animals in the Garden of Eden, but I'll bet it was Eve who had to feed them. Thursday, March 23, 2000. The Archives: Nosey Bodies. I used to think I was too sensitive. I've outgrown that to some degree, as experience and maturity have taught me a few things. After all, emotional sensitivity can be altered. But there is one sensitive thing about myself that I can't change, and I think it runs in my family: my nose. I constantly smell baby poop. Don't get m...

Feed All the Animals. Adam may have named all the animals in the Garden of Eden, but I'll bet it was Eve who had to feed them. Friday, June 27, 2008. Oh my gosh, remember these days of heart-warming hysterics? This is great whenever I need a boost! Links to this post. Saturday, June 21, 2008. My First Stab at Visual Journaling. Links to this post. Tuesday, June 17, 2008. Links to this post. Monday, June 9, 2008. The Good, The Bad and the Germy. Ben has been sick so often. The boy has a stronger const...

Feed All the Animals. Adam may have named all the animals in the Garden of Eden, but I'll bet it was Eve who had to feed them. Saturday, May 31, 2008. You don't need to ask my mother about what a terrible eater I was as a child. I have no problem owning up to it, if only to help explain why my son Jacob is the way he is. Like musical genius or a brilliant way with words, picky eating is apparently genetic. Mom, how do you spell 'wasabi'? W-a-s-a-b-i. And when you're done with it, pass it down this wa...

Feed All the Animals: April 2009

http://feedalltheanimals.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html

Feed All the Animals. Adam may have named all the animals in the Garden of Eden, but I'll bet it was Eve who had to feed them. Tuesday, April 28, 2009. While in the tub the other night, Ben mentioned that he is afraid of water. He said whenever he sees water, he's afraid he's going to fall in and won't be able to swim and will get water up his nose. I was glad he confided this, and told him he would likely learn to swim at camp this summer so he wouldn't need to be afraid anymore. Ya gotta love boys.

Feed All the Animals: It's Not Me: It's You

http://feedalltheanimals.blogspot.com/2015/07/its-not-me-its-you.html

Feed All the Animals. Adam may have named all the animals in the Garden of Eden, but I'll bet it was Eve who had to feed them. Tuesday, July 14, 2015. It's Not Me: It's You. My twelve-year-old and fourteen-year-old are no longer on speaking terms with each other. That is, my son and my dog. Maybe we startled him? Maybe we woke him up? Maybe it was too dark and he didn't actually hear us come in (his hearing is failing), saw a hand in his face and reacted? For now, we'll keep the two separated. As muc...

Feed All the Animals. Adam may have named all the animals in the Garden of Eden, but I'll bet it was Eve who had to feed them. Wednesday, May 27, 2009. After gymnastics today, I was told in no uncertain terms how not. To speak to my 9-year-old's friends. As he and a classmate came out of class, I said hello to Frankie, 4th-grader style:. ME: "Hey, F-Man! I'm just saying hi to Frankie.". JACOB: "You are NOT allowed to talk like you're cool.". FRANKIE: "You're Jacob's mom? ME: "Bonjour, mon ami! The point ...

Feed All the Animals: Departures

Feed All the Animals. Adam may have named all the animals in the Garden of Eden, but I'll bet it was Eve who had to feed them. Wednesday, August 5, 2015. I am not a mush, one of those overly sentimental people who feel everything deeply and weep easily at any situation that's joyous or sad. Yes, I cry at weddings, but the bad stuff rarely gets to me. I knew Ben would learn a lot about himself, about what he's capable of, by leaving us for a while. What I didn't know was that I would do the same. ...Autho...

Feed All the Animals: Letters From Camp

http://feedalltheanimals.blogspot.com/2015/08/letters-from-camp.html

Feed All the Animals. Adam may have named all the animals in the Garden of Eden, but I'll bet it was Eve who had to feed them. Thursday, August 6, 2015. Shortly after I blogged about taking my youngest to sleep away camp for the first time, I went out to check the mailbox. Ben had been gone three days. One of the things I'd packed for him were stamped, addressed envelopes that he could use to write home. I'd given him three, one for each week that he'd be away. Yesterday, all three arrived. Listen, I hat...

Feed All the Animals. Adam may have named all the animals in the Garden of Eden, but I'll bet it was Eve who had to feed them. Wednesday, August 20, 2008. Links to this post. Tuesday, August 5, 2008. Ever since then, I have loved the idea of the possible. What if I had taken that job in the bank instead of at the art college, where I began my journey toward becoming a writer? What if my parents had bought that apartment in co-op city instead of the house in Westchester in which to raise me? What emotions...
