The Hunt

The hunt is on once again.  It’s time to move.  Not because we’ve outgrown our house or dislike what we’ve done with the place.  Quite the contrary, our house has never looked better.  Everything we wanted to do with the place is done.  Our backyard is our own little city oasis.  The kitchen is modern [...]

A La Peanut Butter Sandwiches

The title is borrowed from The Amazing Mumford seen here: The Amazing Mumford using magic to demonstrate the wonders of addition and subtraction.  The magic of math is truly astounding (I wish I’d paid closer attention as a child and maybe I would struggle with math so much)! So why am I bringing this up, [...]

Two dogs and a baby: the waterbowl

I don’t mind him carrying my water bottle around like his own personal canteen, but I definitely have a problem with C using the dogs’ water bowls as his own personal wading pool. Or should I say, splash pool?

Disorienteering

One is now fully dialated, while the other remains normal. I’m so disoriented that this will be my only post for the day. My tales and trials will have to wait for another day.

“Winking Eye”

Or at least that’s what I’m going to call my eye infection since it causes me to wink at random intervals.  Or maybe I should call it “Weeping Eye”, which sounds sort of romantic, due to the fact that my left is constantly filled with tears, which run down my face when the doctor touches [...]

Eye Pain, Book Fairs, and More

Sick Day

Sick days with a one year old are a strange combination of frustration and ease.  However, you can only get to the “ease” part of the day if you’re willing to either ignore or let go of the frustration. I don’t know how all sick babies operate, but my Baby C has a specific set [...]

Windy Ways

For whatever reason, windy days have always been upsetting.  Everything about a cold windy day irritates me. Perhaps it goes back to my days playing softball, when wind was the worst weather you could hope for on the field.  Though most of the girls could throw or hit hard enough to control the ball in [...]

Wiping Away Frustration

As a mom forced to go solo with her one year old, I am constantly looking for ways to simplify my life.  And while some of you environmentalists may cringe at this, but I have found the disposable wipe to be one of my primary weapons in my daily battle for efficiency.  Do I feel [...]

Milk Magic

I love milk. I always have. As a child my mom would put a gallon of milk out at meals and my sisters and I would happily gulp down glass after glass. Little has changed apparently. I just checked our milk supply (ok, I was actually drinking from the carton) and I noticed that I [...]
