Rough Day

Sometimes mommies have rough days. Sometimes they are just tired, worn down, and grumpy for no good reason. And you know what? That’s ok. We’re allowed.

The Eyes Have It

(This may be my most vain post to date; just warning you.) My son has the most beautiful eyes.  They are incredibly big, blue, and sparkling.  To make them even more alluring, C has the longest lashes of any child I have ever seen. I am not alone in thinking this.  Every where we go, [...]

The Ultimate Tantrum

While C was sick, he was extremely unhappy.  So much so, that C upgraded his normal fussy tantrum to the ULTIMATE tantrum. It was crazy, over-the-top toddler behavior.  It was so bizarre that I had to completely focus my face so as not to laugh. Let me paint a picture for you: C would get [...]

Beginnings

I don’t even know where to begin.  The last few weeks have been down-right crazy! For those of you out of the loop, we moved! Hurrah!  We now officially live in Orange County.  I love love love our new house.  Everything about it is awesome: the location, the view, the natural light, the dog friendly [...]

Setup

Hi All! The internet is setup at my new house and I’ve managed to clear a path to my computer, so I will be returning with new posts shortly. I also found my laptop, so that was exciting. I can now resume my lazy nightly routine of watching my DVRed shows, eating ice cream, and [...]

I like the way you look

For the last few days I’ve been getting a lot of double takes, some deep eye staring, and, frankly, a bizarre amount of attention. The conceited part of me was like “yeah! all the weight loss is paying off! I must look gggggggggoooooood!” I strut a bit when I think this. But oh vanity, thy [...]

Dear Boris

As I was standing in the pet store today, staring at the 72 different types of fish bowl water purifiers, I’m thinking how MUCH I hate my beta fish Boris. He has to be the worst pet ever. And please don’t give that whole “oh, fish are so beautiful”or  “it’s so relaxing to watch them [...]

Disaster at the Mall (part 2)

After tasty treats failed to break my son out of his funk, I knew that the rest of my errands were doomed, because what kid doesn’t like cupcakes?  I knew there was something wrong, but what? C had been tooting away all day, even laughing about it sometimes.  Every time I checked his little diaper [...]

Disaster at the Mall (part 1)

or what I like to call “just an average Saturday”. Like oh, so many things, the day started off relatively well.  (We’re still waiting for that final molar to push through, so C is pretty grumpy, as well as covered in drool.) Every so often I get inspired to do things with my son.  Today, [...]

The Dazzlingly Shiny Bright Spot

In all the aches and pains of motherhood (sometimes literally painful), it’s easy to forget the wonderful feelings being a mother brings. These last few days I have been laid up with a bum big toe, a result of my sesamoiditis and possibly a build up of uric acid due to the high protein/low carb [...]
