So much for thinking sleep training was going well. He woke up at 12:45 last night and he was PISSED. He threw every single thing out of his crib and proceeded to have fits the likes of which you’ve never heard before. There’s only one word to describe it: awful. I hate this. I hate [...]

I don’t think it’s the Ferberized boy who missed sleep, do you? Actually, I am shocked. Nay, I am BEYOND shocked. I’m going to knock on a very large piece of wood here, but the sleep training went extremely well. Nothing I read prepared me for the ease of this transition. Everything prepared me for [...]

Thanks to all of you for your input on the quilt top from yesterday. I was totally ready to go with option 2 (the brighter one), but this morning in the natural sunlight it became immediately obvious that the fabric did not match and would be very jarring. Decision made! Here’s what I have so [...]

I want nothing more than to take a long, long snooze. Erik was up from 4 am-9 am, then we both took a nap from 9-12. There was no other sleep the rest of the day, though there was a whole lot of whining from both the boy and myself. Mike put an actual working [...]

I am not good at keeping secrets from teh internets. I can keep all sorts of secrets from my family (mom, dad, sister, not Mike), but for some reason I think teh internets need to know all my business. I wanted to make Kisha and Totte’s new little girl a quilt and it was going [...]

It’s 7 am. I’ve been up for three hours. Whoo-hooo! I just love love love mornings. NOT. I am sooooooooooo ready to go back to bed. Would someone please send a message to my very chipper, happy, silly AWAKE son that morning is not an appropriate time to be up and about? I tried to [...]

I do believe a nasty little vampire rat has taken up residence in my bed and helped itself to my tender throat. At least that’s the story I’m telling. No one needs to know that my neck is all scabby and gross because I keep picking little, tiny, barely visible skin tags off with my [...]

Just when I couldn’t feel like a fatter, uglier freak I wake up with an itchy neck. I scratch and scratch and scratch and noticed my neck feels rough. I go and look in the mirror and am assaulted by the sight of at least 40 little skin tags. All. Over. My. Neck. It is [...]

What an awful night we’ve had here at Chez Possum. It’s almost enough to make one go stick one’s head in a vat of chocolate pudding and breathe deeply. Talk about death by chocolate. Can you imagine lungs filled with pudding? What would the medical examiner tell the jaded CSI guy about that one? Or [...]

I’m so tired right now I can barely move my body. My fingers are the only parts that will go. My legs are stuck and my arms are stuck and my eyes are stuck and I’m just stuck stuck stuck. All that stuckness leads to a major case of the doldrums which means I am [...]
