…or so it would appear. No, not actually knackered if you talk to/see me and are suspicious. Here are the current top two reasons my speech may be slurred: 1) (The most popular right now) Have a mouth full of vitamins/pills that I have not yet found a glass of water to swallow them with. […]
Pediatric Dentist
My anxiety about taking my son to his first dental appt. yesterday was through the roof, sleepless night beforehand and all (yes, I’m crazy). This was largely due to the fact that every time I stick my fingers in his mouth, he bites them, and bites them hard. I scream, then he screams–just a rather […]
Just Keep Driving
Thanks to my friend S for reminding me of this particular phenomena. You know how it goes–as soon as you are driving away from a place, you immediately think of all the things you should have bought/said/asked/done/etc. The easy one (although still annoying) is when, immediately upon pulling out of the pediatrician office’s parking lot, you think of all the […]
A Pop Quiz
“Do as I do” has to be the motto, willingly or unwillingly, of parents of young children. I have just sort of given up on the cost of the multiple boxes of kleenex my son is burning through on a daily basis. He sees me pick up a kleenex every 2 seconds to blow my […]
The Magical Downing Hills Christian Fellowship Hoodie
I have been loathe to address the weight-loss issue on this blog, as it is a delicate topic for many, esp. this Mom of the Year post-pregnancy. Let’s just say it’s a work in progress and my soft black pants (read: stretchy “fat pants”) somedays get more of a workout than I do. In any […]
A Panicky Lather
If you haven’t gathered this already, in general, I am a huge fan of stalking. Stalking my husband on his way home from work, stalking the mail truck, stalking my own blog for hits–all incredibly lame and very useful, I have found. When it’s flipped and I perceive that someone is stalking me, still not […]
The Forgetters and the Rememberers
No, not the name of some hot new mom band on the scene, although that would be awesome.* I’m referring to the phenomena that happens when parents get beyond the super-young-kid stage. In my experience, they fall in one of two categories: those who remember how hard and painful it is and those who forget. […]
Pureed Pea Shards
They exist, trust me. I know b/c I make my own baby food. In theory, this is a good idea. In practice, actually not a totally horrible idea either. It can’t be that bad–I can’t make ANYTHING, but even I can jam some fruits and veggies in the blender and pour the concoction into ice […]
A Christmas Story Revisited
Here’s the deal: dressing children in winter gear to leave the house is a major bummer. Think Randy in A Christmas Story. Seriously, how much easier is it to just throw on sandals in the summer and be on your way? Without exaggeration, I figure coats, hats, boots, etc. can add 14+ hrs. to your […]
Within the Not Fun or Funny…
My mom is dying and was admitted to hospice care last week. As many of you know, this is just a really hard and really sucky situation. I figure anyway you slice it, dealing with a dying parent is flat-out awful, and losing one’s mind definitely has to be part of the grief stages. I […]
