On the left side of the sanity bell curve
Tucker has a problem…an obsession really. He comes home from class and hangs out with the happy little family. At some point during the night he’ll make his way over to the computer. He tries to hide his compulsion with YouTube video watching and by looking around Ebay but he eventually somehow finds his way… Continue reading I CAN HAS TITLE?
Cara doesn’t dress herself just yet so Tucker and I have to take full credit for this outfit. The shirt is part of a PJ set but Cara was getting hot so I put the first pair of shorts on her that my hand hit. The Tinkerbell socks are her father’s contribution. Now, Cara would… Continue reading Her Dad Did It
She was smelling him to see if he was worth eating.
I got book one of the Twilight saga on Friday. Sunday I got book two. Yesterday I got books three and four. I think I have a problem. If you don’t know what I’m talking about then you probably haven’t been in a book store recently. The series is actually a teen series and I… Continue reading Really Should Have Been Asleep
After a fairly positive post, I feel the need to balance it out by writing something that I bitch to Tucker about frequently…the concept of a “good baby”. With Cara, I got a lot of sympathy from friends and family because Cara was such a “hard” child. No one ever called her “bad” but I… Continue reading Post Partum Induced Rant
It’s been a whole week. A week [and a day] since we brought Oliver home from the hospital. I’m really shocked at how quickly the week past and I’m not quite sure what I did last week. One of the things that sticks out for me from this past week is how easy it’s all… Continue reading A Week Later
Coffee. I love coffee. My computer and Winamp with your streaming NPR and Glenn Beck. Thank you for my sanity. PBS, with your Martha Speaks, Curious George and Sesame Street. I set my watch to you all. These are just a few of the things that get me through the day. In all honesty, I… Continue reading Boppy and Nipple Goop
I experienced my first dose of breastfeeding freak-out yesterday. We packed the kids up and headed to Target to procur a “bouncy seat” and a Venti Pumpkin Spice Latte no whip no sprinkles [thank you very much]. I made sure to feed Oliver right before we left and since we only had a couple of… Continue reading Boobs on Aisle Seven
I thought that I’d share some more pictures with you. The first is of my epidural/spinal site. Took them three tries to get the spinal in right before my section. But, at least I got a cool bruise out of the deal. Kind of reminds me of a Rorschach inkblot test. This is of my… Continue reading Pictures Four Days Later
Well, it looks like I got my wish that Oliver not be born on Sept. 11th; he was born on the 12th. Pretty much all day on the 11th I was having odd menstrual cramp pains and my back was aching. The pain was barely anything other than a tad bit annoying and I ignored… Continue reading Oh Yeah….and I Had a Kid
