40-Months-Old

The Dalai Mama — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 16:08:34 +0000

Dear Noah, You are now 40-months-old. I know that means nothing to you–because you’re 3 and that’s a cool age. I think back to when you came home (not quite 3 years ago) and I am amazed at how you have flourished and grown. You and your sister have made me so happy to be a [...]

367 Days Home/20-Months-Old

The Dalai Mama — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 01:19:33 +0000

My little Bo-Bo has been home a year now and I can hardly believe it. There is so much I want to say about her, but I am so busy that I don’t have the time right now to do it. I have 5 minutes while my student are on break, but I just wanted [...]

One Year Ago

The Dalai Mama — Tue, 23 Jun 2009 17:18:45 +0000

I held you for the first time. It was a magical moment and our life has never been the same. One year ago One year later I can’t remember what our life was like without you Zoë. You have completed this portion of our family. You fit in seamlessly. I love you.

A Successful Event

The Dalai Mama — Mon, 22 Jun 2009 01:45:20 +0000

My time was horrid–but it was a father’s day run and my father and I crossed the finish line together. Our time was 47:17 but I don’t really care much–as I didn’t train and I walk/jogged with my dad. As he gets older, I begin to cherish these moments more and more as I know [...]

I’m Going To Just Call It Crazy

The Dalai Mama — Fri, 19 Jun 2009 16:02:56 +0000

I am running (I use that word extremely loosely to describe what I might be doing this weekend) a 5k. I have never run a 5k. I haven’t run anything since I was in my mid 20’s. I am not in my late 30’s. So, we’ll see what kind of joke this turns out to [...]

I Have Been Converted

The Dalai Mama — Thu, 18 Jun 2009 22:13:29 +0000

So, after years and years of being a Mac hater. I am not a Mac lover. I know. I know. I know that you all knew this years ago and us PC people just don’t listen. With my new job, I was give the choice between a MacBook or a PC laptop. I chose the [...]

At A Loss

The Dalai Mama — Wed, 17 Jun 2009 11:54:53 +0000

on what to post about. Not there isn’t anything going on in my life. It’s just that I am so busy and have so many different things happening that I have a hard time attempting to process all of it. I am working and really like it a lot. The kids love daycare–as I knew [...]

38-and 19-Months Old

The Dalai Mama — Thu, 11 Jun 2009 15:18:11 +0000

Dear Noah and Zoë, I have failed miserably in keeping up with your monthly letters. I love the idea of doing it and I love having these little memories captured…but I am busy w/school, work, teaching, parenting, exercising, parenting, and wifing. There just isn’t enough time in the day. I will try to do a better [...]

A Thin Line

The Dalai Mama — Mon, 08 Jun 2009 15:31:43 +0000

As a qualitative researcher, I understand that it is necessary to have my bias exposed on whatever topic I might be researching. This holds true to this space and my editorializing on topics. I want my readers–whether you agree or disagree to understand where it is that I am coming from so that we can all [...]

Change Is For The Better–But A Cube?

The Dalai Mama — Thu, 04 Jun 2009 14:42:13 +0000

Well, today wraps up my first week of work. I can say that it has been an easier transition than I had hoped for. Thank you Kellie for creating an in-home daycare that my kids love so much today they could barely manage to say good-bye to me. Oh wait…today they didn’t even say good-bye they [...]
