Queen of Rambles

I was optimistic. I thought the tantrums of a few months ago were gone and we would breeze right through the dreaded Terrible Twos.
I think they’re back.
I need to up the weights at the gym because manhandling a two and a half year old takes some serious strength and stamina. I’m probably going to […]

We had our very best day of our trip today! The Amish are sort of grouchy and the food is sort of heavy and the horses are sort of scary, but Margie, Fae and Liam are PERFECT!

(Btw, Margie, I uploaded all these pics at full size on Flickr so you can just pluck them […]

Check your thermometers, sinners, because it’s time to bring out the ice skates! Hell has officially frozen over.
For the past two and a half years I’ve doing nothing but tell you about what an awful sleeper I birthed. He won’t sleep in the car. He won’t sleep at night. He won’t […]

It is past my bedtime, but I know there are people out there who appreciate knowing that we arrived safely at our destination. We’ve been here a couple of hours, but it’s been all swimming and screaming and trying to make boy sleep. No computer time for me.

Some people might have a social agenda that includes fancy things like restaurants, quaint little book stores and dance clubs. Me? I go to Target at 8:30 at night.
Ok, so I never go to Target that late. I did tonight, and it was an education in why mid-morning Target runs […]

Due to a myriad of factors I have not been getting enough sleep lately. I’ve been taking Nyquil, but I think it must be reformulated. It doesn’t knock me right out and make me feel drunk. I miss feeling drunk. Instead, it slowly puts me to sleep, then gives me stomach […]
