’m really going to piss a lot of you off by admitting this, but I agree with this. Now, hold on. Before you start throwing stones, give me a chance. “If women spent more time doing stuff, as opposed to staring in the mirror, they could accomplish great things. Unfortunately, women no longer want to [...]
Do you recognize these three? They’ve invaded my TV this morning and they refuse to leave. Damn baby animals and their horrible singing. Am I the only one who finds it odd that the duck’s name is Ming-Ming…which sounds Asian…and Asians eat duck. OK…technically, I guess anyone can eat duck, but I had Fragrant Crispy [...]
I quit my birthcontrol yesterday. NO, I am NOT trying to get pregnant again. Not yet anyway. I guess a bit of back story is in order. I had Cara in November of 2006. [That sounds like so long ago!] The “baby weight” came off almost immediately and after a couple of months, the ole [...]
Well, last night was Tucker’s first night at the second job; things went much better than I had expected. Tucker had to be at the job by 6pm, so when he left, Cara and I were having dinner. The poor kid’s eyes were rimmed in red and I could tell that she needed to have [...]
Two things have become very apparent to me today. #1 My child thinks that baby gates are a joke. #2 My child thinks that NO! is a joke. Oh, the joys of having a toddler. Wait. Did I just write “toddler”?! Aren’t kids supposed to be like 14 months or something before they’re considered toddlers? [...]
*Note – A lot of these links are broken because this is an old post. I’ll update them real soon. Promise.* There have been all kinds of “baby essential” lists popping up in blogland like here and here. Reading their lists got me to thinking about my own list and what I wish someone had [...]
I’m talking about me, not Cara. I got no [ok…very little] sleep last night and I’m amazed at how quickly my body forgot what it feels like to run on only about four hours of sleep. Damn, the kid has me spoiled! I had totally gotten used to being in bed by 10 pm and [...]
Before I became a mom, I made grandiose plans for enriching family time activities and warm, fuzzy moments of true togetherness. Picture an unholy mix of June Cleaver, The Waltons and a dash of Body Language. Reality has caught up with me and is laughing its ass off. I find myself with an extremely active [...]
When I was two days old, I was adopted. My mother (the woman who adopted me) had suffered an ectopic pregnancy which had rendered her infertile. My parents raised me to the best of their abilities and though I didn’t have what anyone would call an “easy” childhood, I know that I am fortunate to [...]
Cara and I got up a bit late today (7:30) and for some reason, I was in a rip roaring mood to cook us bacon and eggs. You know what I’m talking about. Fry the bacon up until it’s golden and then you plop in a couple of eggs until the edges are crisp. My [...]
