Mommy Brain

I must warn you another downfall of parenthood. Mommy brain. This morning I came to the NYC office, having forgotten my beloved filofax (can barely think wtihout it), my mouse, and headphones. Arfhghghgh. THis sort of thing did not happen to me much before baby. When I set up the pack n' play for Hadassah, I put the sheet on the BACK of the mattress (the hard part that needs to face down, not the soft part that approximates a mattress). How embarassing. And Ahvua's favorite hat has been AWOL since Seattle. Bro points out with glee that these lapses reduce me to the level of everyone else but I don't like it. I like to be ORGANIZED.

 

Candy and Mandy

Ahuva is actually a total angel, so it was fun to dress her as a devil for Halloween. There was a nice little party in the lobby of our building. We visited some of our neighbors, including one famous one who has family in Jerusalem, grown up kids, and a very nice wife.

Give one get one

Tired & overwhelmed today. But this week I did call and order an XO laptop for Ahuva & one for a kid in the developing world. I can't wait to get it, I think it's the cutest thing ever!!See www.laptopgiving.org
