It's just taking an accordian file and labeling it with things like your different bill categories and medical expenses and day care and taxes or whatever and putting it somewhere convenient - ours is in a drawer (was on the counter till recently) next to me Meikahttp://wandering-aramean.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7454139.post-35666774721492903462009-04-16T20:22:00.000-05:002009-04-16T20:22:00.000-05:00That blows.

I had a similar library thing recently but they just put it under "claimed returned" and didn't hassle me. I yelled at some kid I didn't know. On Easter morning. At church.

People need to get over themselves and just freaking parent instead of trying to one-up each other in the "cool bad ironic parent sweepstakes." Which pisses me off even more than the "I'm the most perfect parent in the world sweepstakes." I think they're all just jealous that there are so many people who are just real, and really good Allyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16449596360269063936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7454139.post-34881777996912925122009-04-15T23:13:00.000-05:002009-04-15T23:13:00.000-05:00Oh man, that is a crapfest, isn't it?
That artic...Oh man, that is a crapfest, isn't it? <br /><br />That article was...I don't even know. Coincidentally, boxed in and furious is how I've been feeling lately, mostly because of my idea of what a good parent is, so I'd love to hear your take on it if you ever get the chance.<br /><br />In the meantime, hang in there.Melissahttp://80srule.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7454139.post-41493269691297175022009-04-15T18:45:00.000-05:002009-04-15T18:45:00.000-05:00your writing stays with me in ways that the writin...your writing stays with me in ways that the writing discussed in that wsj article doesn't. you write beautifully, especially about your children - the piece that you wrote about skating last winter was really wonderful. i think about the quiet beauty of that piece often.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7454139.post-77761337453898365932009-04-15T17:54:00.000-05:002009-04-15T17:54:00.000-05:00What a shitty week!

It's a real thing, and we didn't expect it or know how to deal with it (if there even is a way, besides wait it out). And about the pretty blog thing -- I think about this a bit with photography -- how to capture and share moments without "selling" them (even to myself).
