This is apparently the week of Ollie. Kinda like the year of the Ox but not nearly as long. I called Oliver’s pediatrician this morning and asked that she call in an antibiotic. It’s not that I don’t enjoy breastfeeding my four month old with him sitting up…it’s just awkward. That and the reason that [...]
The “retro” cartoon character is in big demand right now. The Cartoon Network has Boomerang that shows all of the classic cartoons from back in the day and it’s the only place that I can find Tom and Jerry-one of Cara’s favorite “new” cartoons. I think this retro cartoon thing is in response to the [...]
I, for one, am VERY glad that Ollie’s course of Prednisone is over tomorrow morning. It’s not that it made him crazy emotional or overly excited but it was just a pain in the ass to get him to take it. I had to get a cube of smooshed up banana out of the freezer, [...]
Just a quick update since Tucker’s home from drill and I refuse to fall off of the NABLOPOMO wagon this early on. You know that you have a congested child when you go into the bathroom with the child, shut the door and then turn the shower and the sink’s faucet both to nothing but [...]
This weekend is Tucker’s “drill weekend” so I’m home alone. Cara is with Mom and Oliver is napping and I’m sitting on the couch with Oscar the Cat and my laptop and we’re watching Paranormal State on A&E. Tucker left last night after he had bathed Cara and after tossing her cranky ass into bed [...]
My “sunshine boy” has been sick for about a month. It’s nothing major, just a snotty nose that won’t go a way with a dry cough. But, the point is that it won’t go away. Every morning he wakes up with snot running down his face and I kiss him [even with the snot] and [...]
It seems to be a running joke in my extended family that I am ALWAYS on the look-out for our house. Whenever Tucker is applying for jobs, I look at the area and then start searching the housing market to see what’s available. I don’t see it as an “obsession” so much as a being [...]
So it all started with this tweet: Actually, it started about ten minutes prior to that tweet. The family and I had been out running erands and when we pulled into our parking space, our next door neighbor’s fiance’s daughter was leaving the next door neighbor’s place. She’s young, not very friendly and rather trashy [...]
I have a mild “social anxiety” disorder so public speaking is one of those things that I don’t really do. I mean, I CAN-anyone CAN-but I choose not to. That’s one reason why I have yet to take Speach in college even though it’s a Freshman level class and I have enough hours …
The time has come in Oliver’s very short life that he MUST EAT PEOPLE FOOD! [My kids are big on the dramatics.] He’s almost five months old, is crawling and can sit by himself for short periods of time so I figured, “What the hell”. Cara was fed rather unconventional things from an early age. [...]
