Mothers of the Year, because we all deserve an award.

Cracked nipples.  Sleep deprivation.  Public tantrums.  Our only reward is our children?  Kidding.  Mostly.

MOTY Moment: Late Night Girl Time

During a week that already involved my husband traveling out of state, a three-day migraine, an unexpected and medically inexplicable period, getting my face scratched up trying to drag three kids to three doctor appointments, a computer glitch that made me lose hours of work (on a tight deadline), and a tire blowout on the freeway at night in 16-degree weather, my toddler randomly decided to stop sleeping. Just stop. The first night, she stayed up until 11. I fretted and sighed a lot. The second night, it was 2 before she finally drifted off. We watched Blue's Clues and I begged her to sleep. Last night, I just said, screw it. By being awake at this hour, you're choosing to enter my world, kid. We hung out with Manhattan's finest til we both drifted peacefully off to sleep. Or, as peacefully as one can be when watching New York's most heinous crimes unfold.

Why, yes, sweetie, it is disturbing, isn't it, the way a classic "he said, she said" rape can be just as chilling as a rape/dismemberment.

    We love our kids. They drive us crazy. We write about it instead of going insane.
