Today was a good day. My ears still hurt but I’m trying to ignore the rather constant obnoxious pain. It’s really more of a dull ache now. I woke up at 6:30 after having had a really awesome dream – it was one of those dreams where you know it rocked but you don’t remember… Continue reading Good Day

Ding Dong the Bratz are Dead!
I listen to about six hours of talk radio a day and that usually means that I hear the news before most do since MOST people are at work and not working in their PJs. I digress. While listening this morning, I heard something that brightened my rather dismal day – Bratz dolls are to… Continue reading Ding Dong the Bratz are Dead!
Sick Hummingbird Loses Note
I hate the Thursday before Tucker leaves for drill weekend. Somehow we always manage to run out of everything right before he leaves so that we have to scramble around and get groceries and diapers and whatever other random “must have” item we can think of before he leaves. It’s not that I can’t go… Continue reading Sick Hummingbird Loses Note
The Devil Wore Red…
…according to Cara since she refused to get anywhere close to Santa. Mom and I took the kids to the mall today to look for some presents for Cara and Oliver. Santa happened to be hanging out on his big ole Santa throne and since both kids were dressed in red, I figured I’d tempt… Continue reading The Devil Wore Red…
Purple is the New Black
I’ve thought for about a month now that I had thrush. I wasn’t sure since Oliver’s latch was so damn bad starting out that I just assumed the pain was due to that. Oliver’s mouth was decently clear, so when my pain went away I had every reason to continue with the idea that the… Continue reading Purple is the New Black
He Might Be Giant
As I’m typing this, I have a sweaty man child lying on my chest. Oliver’s been a sleepy guy since his shots yesterday. I gave him a couple of rounds of Tylenol yesterday to counteract some of the injection site pain, but he’s had nothing today since his leg doesn’t seem to be painful and… Continue reading He Might Be Giant
The Past Week in Pictures
Two
At 7:59 this morning, Cara officially turned two. Oliver wasn’t impressed. My dad actually showed up and came bearing a tricycle. Not the tricycle that I wrote about previously [and that he knew about] but whatever. It just annoys me that he knew the specific tricycle that we were going to get her and he… Continue reading Two
Cupcakes Lower Stress
Oliver’s sleep sucked a big one last night so that meant that my sleep sucked as well. We’ve moved Cara’s crib into our room and I’ve been trying to have Ollie in his bed for at least part of the night to give me and Tucker more room in the bed. [It’s VERY nice to… Continue reading Cupcakes Lower Stress
Tinkle Tube?
My life here recently has been about pee and poop. [Yes. ANOTHER potty training post. Deal with it.] Cara’s well on her way to being potty trained and I can honestly say that I never thought that I would consider getting princess underwear for someone a good Christmas gift. I’m a member of a “mothering”… Continue reading Tinkle Tube?

Hairdryer Parenting
When Cara was about a month old, she started crying a lot. That’s saying something since she cried pretty much all of the time anyway. From 5pm till around 1am, Cara would scream and cry and fuss and not even a boob in her mouth would calm her down. We had The Happiest Baby on… Continue reading Hairdryer Parenting
