I’m going to get to plan a birthday party for my mom

By / November 13, 2008 / 2 Comments

My mother is coming into town this weekend. The cause for the trip is sad. Her brother died this week and his funeral is on Saturday. But Sunday is her birthday and we’re going to throw a party. It’ll be just family, but there will be cake and games and presents. I figure she threw parties for me for 18 years, it’s only fair that I get to throw one for her. Besides it has been a decade and a half since I’ve been with my mom on her birthday. This is going to be fun.

Looking for blog posts

I’m thinking about doing a book of essays based on blog posts. I’m planning to focus on the parenting stuff. Some of the essays I’m considering for inclusion are on my website. Others are still languishing in the blog archive. So if you have a favorite post of mine that you thought was particularly insightful or entertaining, please post in the comments. Links are helpful, but you can just say “That one post where you…” if that is all you can remember about it. Thanks
