It's been a week ...
A week of a lot of just plain stuff going on. I'm spending every day working hard to find a job, which is beginning to be like a job in and of itself except I have no income from the effort. I got Michael an appointment with a psychologist last week, and after meeting with him, she decided that the best approach would be to work with me first and then address Michael's issues through family therapy. And I am thrilled with Michael's teacher. She and I have been communicating via email about how to get on top of some of his academic problems and I think we have a very workable solution.
IN other news, I'm working on a Book that is a combination cookbook (candy recipes) and essays about my life with the boys. I'm putting in a lot of time on that and hoping to get it out within the next several weeks. I'll be self-publishing it with help from some top-notch people who are working with me to have two versions. Paperback for those who want something they can hold in their hand, and an electronic version that will include a ton of photos of the recipes and the kids and maybe even one or two pictures of myself as well. (You'd pay an extra dollar for that, right?) Our working title is "Easy as Candy, a Mom and Two Boys." There will be more on this in the coming days as I have more I can tell/show you!
Another note from last week ... Shanah tovah u mitukak! (A good and sweet New Year!) to all my Jewish friends. We observed Rosh Hashanah last week. It was the first time that my kids had the opportunity to actually do the deal and they were loving it. They've seen photos and we've talked about the shofar, but they got to hear and see the ram's horn during the celebration. Tucker, of course, wanted to blow it. Uncle Tom warned him that it's very difficult to get sound from a ram's horn and not to be disappointed if he couldn't make it work. But Tucker blew it longer and louder than anyone. He had such a great time that at bedtime amidst hugs and kisses he said, "Mom, do you think you could get me a goat? I just want the horns, you can roast the rest."

Oh! I'm so thrilled Tucker tales will be a big part of the book! Woo hoo! I truly am his biggest fan, ain't so?
Hi. Guess who? Me again.....I'm more than willing to review the text portion and give you a quote for the back cover.
Good Luck on your book! Sounds like fun!
LMAO! Kids! Too cute.
So glad to hear that you're getting somewhere with Michael's issues hun...I know that's been weighing heavy with you.
That book title sounds awesome! I'm sure the stories that will go in it will be just as incredible!
The goat thing is too funny!
Happy New Year to you.
I did the apple and honey, it was enough
Rosh HaShanah is really the birthday of the world type of New Year, not a changing of months or anything like that. I like the world having a birthday. (There's also a new year for trees festival, Tu Bish'vat, which is more fun as you have picnics and eat tree fruits and things).
Hey, I'll help eat the goat if you get him one!
Good luck with the book!
I'm so glad you've found happiness amid the "week," my dear. And .... we have LOTS of goats, in case you're in the market
(more realistically, we also have a carved kudo horn from W. Africa that sounds remarkably like a shofar. Next time you come, remind me).
Good luck on the book -- sounds like it could be a really hot seller (especially with your pictures.
).
o_0 is right. what a kid.
i love candy. and your writing.
keep us posted, alright?
I just love that Tucker fella!
I like to hear a shofar being sounded. I vote get him the goat!
hugs to you all,
Deb
