Suck Up and Sell

The other day I took a long look at my little house that is feeling so crowded. Yes, I’ve gone from me, two Chihuahuas and a cat to me, hubby, two kids and added hubby’s two cats. But we also added a bathroom and pushed the master bedroom out adding half as much more space [...]

Photo Shoot Fun

I took Sweetness and Mr. Man to the photographer yesterday and here are the fruits of our labors. I couldn’t resist sharing my thumbnails. We’re getting wall photos.

Well, it finally happened. Since I first saw those two lines on that first pregnancy test I knew I needed to start paying attention to what I said as it would take some discipline to start working a few choice words out of my vocabulary. I’d gotten pretty good, but there were times when I [...]

Nine Months

My Handsome Little Man is nine months old today. Hard to imagine that nine months ago I was in the hospital again with a little newborn baby boy in my arms. That went so fast. It seems like those first nine months with Sweetness took longer. My little guy’s infancy is screaming by and I [...]

My mom doesn’t tell many jokes, but when she did when we were kids they were funny to us. The answer to this one, one of her oddest, is an action. Make a huge sniffing sound as you wipe your nose and rub your hand up over your forehead and back through your hair. Lovely. [...]

98.6 is for Sissies

So I’m sitting at work, working away like a good little Umpa Lumpa, when I get a call from the nanny.

Here’s a “well, duhhhh” for you. When you have kids, it’s like a whole new world is opened to you. I always planned to go to the zoo and aquarium more when I had kids to share them with. Yet, there are so many more things out there that I was somewhat aware of, but [...]

In a momentary lapse of reason, I let my mind wonder a bit (what’s left of it after two kids, a job, and 6 hours of sleep a day) and think back to the days when I hand it together. You know, when you knew who you were, where you were going, what you were [...]

The Little Things

Ok, so I’ve been working to stay a step ahead of this childproofing thing. It’s been a whille since I’ve had to do much. Basically, I put the little plastic thingies in all the plugs, put up a baby gate to our kitchen, and put little latches on the drawers under the sinks where the [...]
