Queen of Rambles

I must have been crazy yesterday when I looked around the house and didn’t have a total freak out conniption about all the random junk that was piled up every where. It was mostly piled up neatly, but there was no denying it was junk that needed to find a new home. Problem: our house [...]

Since Erik has started talking clearly and often, life has been much easier. Instead of guessing that he wants ice cream or peaches or sharp knives, he can simply say “I want ice cream!” There is still whining, but at least I can counteract it with appropriate logic instead of flailing about, trying to give [...]

How many times do I start out an entry with “I am so tired?” Probably way too often. Why can’t I go to bed at a decent hour like my dear, darling son? Then I would be refreshed and ready to go when he wakes up at the crack of dawn. I think the jet [...]

1) I have been so bad! When I got back from the trip, I had a sweet little package filled with beautiful teal hand made dish clothes and magnets from Sonnet of the Moon! I love my bloggy friends. I can’t imagine using hand made dish clothes because they are much to precious. Instead, I [...]

1) Why have I never used Picasa before? Oh. My. God! It is so easy. It beats the pants off Kodak EasyShare and it is freeeeeeee! I’m glad I finally discovered it and the glow function. I don’t think you’ll ever see another picture of me without a glow over it. My face needs it. [...]

We’re home! I kissed the ground the minute I walked in my non-dog-hairy abode. Ok, so I didn’t, more because I don’t like to get down on the floor than because it would have been dirty. Mike is the best husband in the history of husband’s. I love coming home to an immaculate home. I’m [...]

. . . because I am D-O-N-E. I have to get out of here. One more day. Just one more day. Then I can go home to my peaceful house where children don’t throw food on the floor, where drunks don’t sit around stinking up the house, where people clean up their own children’s barf, [...]

Shortly after making yesterday’s post at the ungodly hour of 4 am, I was hit with the stomach flu. Ugh. UGH UGH UGH. I’m sure you don’t want to hear the particulars, and I don’t want to share the particulars. Let’s just say Erik and I spent most of the day in bed, being waited [...]

Erik hasn’t barfed for 45 minutes. He’s going for a record! Too bad the bed is full of barf, my clothes are full of barf, and every towel in the house if full of barf. I have no where to go, except the computer chair. I kind of feel like I may barf next. It [...]

It’s a good thing Erik’s potty regression has not extended to night time. He’s in bed, buck naked, and still slightly damp from his bath. I don’t expect the dampness to last long. Today was the big combined birthday party for my niece and nephew. It was a really weird feeling because four of the [...]
