Mamalicious!

So tomorrow night, TechBoo and I get to celebrate another first together: Our first Chanukah party.  What to bring? I’m leaning towards a bottle of wine and the jelly doughnuts (which, coincidentally, will come from the new kosher Dunkin’ Donuts that recently opened up nearby).

Saturday night, the celebrating continues with a birthday slumber party for Mini-Me at El Ex’s house.  He and his wife are hosting; TechBoo and I are assisting.  Once the actual sleepover portion of the party starts, we’ll be whisking BabyGirl back to our house for some special you-get-the-grown-ups-all-to-yourself time.  This movie, this movie, and popcorn?  Get like us.

Of course amidst all the festivities, deadlines loom.  Still reading and editing a script for my brother from another mother; so glad he hasn’t disowned me at this point for taking so long.  I’m honored to be trusted with his “baby”.  Plus a review of this book for Bitch.  And I’ve been invited to guest-blog about adoption and the holidays for Psychology Today online.  A little about Jesus, a little about Moses…it’s still coming together in my head.  I will not, however, be writing about Kwanzaa.  I already feel like I’m perpetrating a fraud, making Kwanzaa presentations in BabyGirl’s class,both years of preschool and again this year in kindergarten, and in Mini-Me’s 3rd grade class two years ago–while only ever actually celebrating Kwanzaa at home once.

I might make ginger beer, though.

Cheers!
