Moved to New Jersey

Last day of work at Beaumont, June 22. Arrived in New Jersey with Arthur and Lizzie on June 27 (Mimi and Stephen arrived on the 26th.) Lost part of my filling in a Pennsylvania rest stop while eating Sbarro's.

Learning Impaired

After two weeks, Mimi still can't see the penis in the Anthony Weiner penis shot.

"I don't trade with the Devil"

Arthur, referring to Leonard, while playing Monopoly.

Valentines Day

Mimi and Arthur worked together on a box for Valentines Day cards. After seeing the other kids', Arthur admits his is pretty much the worst one in the class. Mimi asks him whether he feels bad about that. Arthur says, no, he just figures the other kids had more "craft"-y moms.

Waiting for Santa

Stephen: The only strange sound I heard was Arthur snoring!

More from Stephen

Today, Stephen was playing with a halloween spider ring, and he told me some day he would have a wedding ring. I asked him what he thought his wife might look like and he promptly said, "Like you Mommy, but with blond hair and maybe taller." I'm not sure how I feel about this.

Stephen recently

to Mimi: Mommy, are there some families where the Daddy is the boss in the family?

Recently was teary and unable to sleep because of "I Don't Want to Live on the Moon." -- "It's so sad!"
