Tarababble: April 2012
http://tarababble.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
Sunday, April 29, 2012. Just dropping this quick note to say that Tarababble still exists, though posts have been rare lately. I've been busy keeping up with other projects, playing outside with Henry and Little Dan, and resting my carpal-tunnel-tastic wrist while watching endless episodes of "Bones" and "Parks and Recreation." (Educational TV, you know.). But here's what you have to look forward to in the coming weeks when I can squish in some blog time:. The promised followup to the parental leave post.

Tarababble: May 2012
http://tarababble.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
Sunday, May 13, 2012. Henry has taken lately to calling me "my mom.". Come and play, my mom! Can I have a jelly bean, my mom? I'll be Yoda, and you be Obi-Wan Kenobi, my mom." (We've also been very. Into Star Wars lately.). At first I thought the new moniker was a sign of possession - this is my. Mom But it's not how he says it. He says it the same way an adult would when talking about his or her mother: "Oh, my mom is coming for the weekend.". I've decided I like being "my mom" as opposed to " my. My mo...

Tarababble: Ode to a Marshmallow Peep
http://tarababble.blogspot.com/2012/03/ode-to-marshmallow-peep.html
Monday, March 26, 2012. Ode to a Marshmallow Peep. I took an introduction to poetry class my freshman year of college. It was taught by an earnest grad student with a taste for the mopey - the darker and whinier and more depressing the poem, the better. In retrospect, I'd call her emo. At the time, I thought she was just kind of silly. The class. We actually read some poems I still love, like Billy Collins' " Marginalia. And Li-Young Lee's " Persimmons. I wasn't going to read. I smiled and clapped th...

Tarababble: January 2012
http://tarababble.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
Sunday, January 29, 2012. Chaos - Order - Entropy. Here, for no particular purpose but my own sanity and your entertainment (I hope), is a story about Friday:. Most people understand the concept of chaos – parents especially, since even the best-behaved children are by nature tiny chaos machines. If you’d asked me Friday morning if I understood chaos, I may have answered yes, but more likely would have flung a screeching preschooler at you and fled. Chaos Part 1: The Doctor’s Office. 160;His eyes widened...

Tarababble: February 2012
http://tarababble.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
Wednesday, February 29, 2012. Yesterday was also laundry day. And the day before. If you, yknow, wear clothes, this is a familiar process. And if you have kids, you really. 160;know how this goes. Im not sure exactly how, but adding Danny to our household doubled the amount of laundry we create. The kids only 16 pounds! And yet, he produces more than triple his mass in spit-up every day.). But I have this new philosophy about housework. Its called Defeating It So It Cant Defeat Me. Ladysmith Black Mambaz...

Tarababble: Blessed are the Candymakers
http://tarababble.blogspot.com/2012/04/blessed-are-candymakers.html
Thursday, April 12, 2012. Blessed are the Candymakers. Easter is over but the story continues -. This is from Jim LaPage's Word series, which is awesome. Check it out by clicking here. It's one that's really meant to be told again and again, and in the past few weeks we told it before bedtime, in the bathtub, at the dinner table, in the car, because Henry asked, again and again. We stumbled through it at first - how to tell a story so intense and cosmic and weird. What do you want anyone to get? He adore...

Tarababble: Friday Flashback: Visitors!
http://tarababble.blogspot.com/2012/05/friday-flashback-visitors.html
Friday, May 4, 2012. I've said before that high school wasn't exactly my favorite thing. Now, I'm wary of anyone who calls the awkward social teenage times the "best years" - but now that it's been nine years. Since I graduated, it's easier to enjoy the good memories and forget about all the angst. (Though sometimes I laugh at the angst. Ha, ha. Angst.). The Roberts family got a delightful blast from the high-school past last week: my friend Natalie stopped by for a few days . from Switzerland! Now I've ...
