Queen of Rambles

This is one of my favorite pictures in a very long time! Isn’t he just a beautiful child? He’s so handsome it almost makes me want to cry! I think I’m going to get this blown up into an 8×10 and frame it, even if he does have frosting all over his [...]

I was so excited to get my new shoes from Shoebuy.com! All the reviews said they fit big, so I assumed that meant my feet would be lovingly cradled in a just-right-for-Sasquatch nest of leather and foam.
Oh how very wrong I was.
The reviews weren’t kidding when they said the shoes fit wide. It’s [...]

Mike had to work tonight which meant Erik and I got to see him for approximately 1 hour tonight. That sucks!

If there’s one thing Erik can do well, it’s count to three and then JUMP! He jumps on the bed, jumps on the couch, jumps on the floor, jumps on the table. . . if he is somewhere, he’s jumping.
Today, his little mind was blown. I don’t know if he has jumping fantasies, [...]

I just want to cuss and swear and scream, but it would wake up the baby. Today has not been my day, in large part because that adorable, sweet little baby has been whiny, uncooperative and downright naughty. He wants boobie and he wants it now, but he’s not going to get it. [...]

It’s not even 9 pm here and it’s taking all my energy to keep my eyes open. That means no witty stories of adventure and . . . uhhh. . adventure? See, my brain is so slow I can’t even come up with another evocative word.
The weaning went really well [...]
