Queen of Rambles

Despite the fact that I don’t want to get older and really dislike birthdays because I don’t like to be the center of attention, I do enjoy bugging the crap out of Mike in regards to my birthday gift. I constantly ask him what he’s getting me and make stupid guesses and am just […]

The new mom’s group that I joined is having a mom’s night out tonight (gah! Where do all the apostrophes go?) and I am going! I’ve been looking forward to it ever since they changed the location from Applebees to a good little Mexican restaurant. I’m going to put on a bra that […]

I slept the sleep of the dead last night. You know you’ve been zonked out when you wake up and find someone else’s body part in your mouth. That’s not the way I like to wake up, even when the body part in question is my baby’s hand. What is it with […]

I haven’t taken a sleeping pill in over a year, unless you count the sleeping pill I took while I was supposed to be in labor. For some reason that sleeping pill didn’t quite work. Who knew you could take a sleeping pill while you were supposed to be birthing a child? […]

I finally got out of the house today, thanks to a new mommy’s group. Everything was pretty normal and all until the end. You KNOW when I go out of the house something weird has to happen to me. I wouldn’t be me if it didn’t.

Here that large cracking sound? That was the sound of my sanity cracking right in half.
I can’t take it any more.
The screaming. It must stop.
He hasn’t had a day like this in a good long time and I thought we were through with these days. I thought he was a happy […]

When most people find out they are having a baby, they run out and buy all sorts of baby decor. Not me. I had a nervous breakdown every time I went into the baby section of the store. Too much stuff! Too overwhelming! Too cutsie!
We have limited space, which means […]

Some of you probably haven’t even read my moping about losing all my diary-x entries. Nine months of my life, POOF! Gone thanks to no backing up on my part and no backing up on the part of the owner of diary-x (not his responsibility, I guess, but I thought most places do […]

He may not know how to use a spoon, but it’s not because he has anything wrong with his brain. His MRI came back totally normal!
I called the doctor’s office four times and they didn’t have the results. I was getting a little worried. Yesterday they told me they would have it by […]
