There is some major breastfeeding drama afoot. Applebee’s stepped in it here and the incident has spawned video reactions, blog entries and general bad press. Then, Facebook banned a picture of a mother breastfeeding because it was “obscene“. That action has also caused an uproar and even the creation of a website calling for people… Continue reading Breastfeeding Crazys
It’s Going to Be One of Those Days
I’m going to have to bust out my Ferber book. Cara was up at least three times last night; it might have been more, but I quite counting after three. Once is fine; I have to feed Biscuit around 4am. But, for the past couple of nights, Cara has been waking numerous times and refusing… Continue reading It’s Going to Be One of Those Days
Diaper Woes
Diapers are apparently very bad things around our house. I make this statement based on the fact that I spent the entire weekend watching my child remove her diaper at every available opportunity. The days of her running around the apartment in her diaper are over. Now, even when Cara is wearing clothes, she tries… Continue reading Diaper Woes
Domestic Zeroism at its Finest
Motherhood Uncensored was brave enough to post her “squalor” and I figured that I would do the same. I’m not shy; sometimes the cleaning just don’t get done. In my defense, we did have people over last night for pizza and beer. [I had rum and coke] Unlike, Motherhood Uncensored, I didn’t clean it up…I’ll… Continue reading Domestic Zeroism at its Finest
Breastfeeding Terms Defined
I just received an email with a funny [and very true] list of breastfeeding “terms” with definitions; I had to share them here. The Boob Lift – The unconscious lifting of your breasts to check which is fuller. It may be done at any time regardless of where you are or whom you’re talking to.… Continue reading Breastfeeding Terms Defined
I’m Bottle Feeding
Guess what I found last night? A kitten. A tiny little black kitten who’s eyes aren’t open yet. I was outside last night around 5pm smoking a cigarette and I heard this tiny little kittie mew. I looked around and didn’t see a kitten and thought nothing more about it. [Our apartment complex is overrun… Continue reading I’m Bottle Feeding
Not That Stupid Revisited
For some reason, “Capt. Coleman” finds me very trustworthy. He’s willing to smuggle money out of Iraq to me if I’ll provide him with my bank and contact information. You also have to love that “for security reasons” I’m supposed to reply to a different Hotmail [ ie unsecured] address. So, without further ado, here’s… Continue reading Not That Stupid Revisited
Ghetto Fabulous Role Models
We just got back from the store and I’m a bit scared. These hoochies on the left have taken over an isle and a half in the toy section at Target! They’re like Barbie but ghetto fabulous and they look like little plastic sluts. Am I the only one who is uncomfortable with this?! They… Continue reading Ghetto Fabulous Role Models
My Ode to Tucker
I was reading over some of my archived posts [kinda scary] and I noticed that, for the most part, I only write about my husband when either A: I can post a “classic” picture of him, or B: he says something absolutely ridiculous. Since he reads my blog daily, I figured that I would write… Continue reading My Ode to Tucker
Look What I Found in My Toilet
In the past couple of weeks, Cara has become very adept at putting things in things. We’ve been super excited to see her learning and progressing. Then, last night, I found this:
Where I Whine About My Child’s Lack of Sleep
Man, I know that Monday was a holiday, but this week just seemed to drag for me. I have a sneaking suspicion that it might have a tiny bit to do with the fact that Cara has taken to waking up twice during the night again. She eats and then goes right back to sleep… Continue reading Where I Whine About My Child’s Lack of Sleep
Experiments Are Fun…
…especially when you’re doing them on your kid. Isn’t that what parenting is all about? Experimenting on your children…just to see what happens… Hold your little emailing fingers. I’m not doing anything bad. It’s not like I’m grafting an ear onto her back or anything. [that would just be freaky] For the past three days,… Continue reading Experiments Are Fun…
