thoughts on being a mama, transitioning from urban school teacher to community college professor, processing life and death, how to be a good friend and wife, the conundrum of race, and this crazy lovable city i live in.

Exodus of Alexandra
In the spirit of Moses, Jesus, and Bob Marley, Alexandra freed herself from her baby jail this Easter Sunday. She didn't land with that proverbial thump that folks warn you about, but instead hoisted herself out of her crib with the skills of a refined cat burglar and hung out in her room, coughing and playing, until discovered by Adam who then made this movie.
Big weekend for baby girl: stopped the naptime/nighttime bottle, moved up to size 6 Seventh Generation diapers (the last size), peed on the side of the potty (second time), and fell in love with sea lions. Wow. She just blows my mind.
This is my personal blog to process my life and all that comes with it. I have a professional blog (one about teaching) at www.readwriteteach.org. If you're a teacher, please check it out, pass it along, and give me some good, critical feedback. xo.
now a community college professor, teaching English (reading and writing). trying to get some stuff published. brainstorming my next research project. dreaming of owning a piece of Brooklyn to live in. mommy to an artsy and emotional five year old daughter who can walk as far as me (re: miles!)and an almost three year old firecracker of a son who eats his weight daily and is the house comedian. wife to superstar architect husband. lover of my subway commute and reading. relishing the few zen moments i get per day.
LOVE IT!
