Queen of Rambles

I’m looking into boarding schools for Erik, but there seems to be a dearth of preschool boarding schools. Dagnabbit. This kid knows how to get on my last nerve. I am so tired of constantly having to play games, talk sweet, and use reverse psychology to get the child to do anything. […]

I need to go back on my shake for breakfast, shake for lunch diet. It SUCKS hard core, but it is a great way to limit my calories and maybe my amazing expanding waistline would shrink a little. If I’m going to look pregnant and need maternity clothes it would be nice to […]

When I was hired for my first teaching job, a couple of experienced teachers descended upon me and promptly taught me the most important phrase a teacher can have “sorry, I’d love to, but my plate is full.” And boy oh boy was it full. I certainly didn’t have time to coach the […]

It is so rare for me to get a good picture of Erik that I simply must post ones that I do manage to capture. He is such a little turd head. He turns immediately when I ask him to say cheese. At any rate, he finally learned to pedal his little bike, […]

People, mainly Heather and Ellen have been asking me questions that I haven’t answered yet. Here’s my answers as far as I can remember. Any other questions? Feel free to ask.
What about a rutabaga? The other day we were listening to Laurie Berkner sing about Victor Vito and his Tabasco on […]

I’ve heard many, many horror stories about the horomone surge that hits when you wean. For some reason I thought it wouldn’t happen to me. I though that I was barely making enough milk to justify the crazy horomones. I thought I’d been tapering off so slowly that I saved myself.
Ha!
HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
It was […]

Today I was able to satisfy my inner Fantasy Freak and read for several hours. This never happens! I usually get distracted by the computer, but I was trapped in the car for two hours so I had a great time getting lost in a book. I miss books.
And why was I […]

Bonus post! I know I already posted once today, but Mike is in trying to put Erik to sleep and I need a distraction from the screaming. Erik doesn’t know it yet, but he’s sucked on his last booby (until he finds a willing college co-ed). I’m saying he’s weaned, even though […]

Buying a big ceramic plate that will be shipped across the country is not a good idea. Plus, it’s kind of ugly. When my in-laws were here we went to a big antique mall out in Frederick. A (non antique) serving platter painted with giraffes caught my eye. My mom is […]

Mike got up late this morning, which meant Erik and I got to take him to the train again. For some reason, I was out of cereal. This classifies as a national, or at least local, or maybe household, emergency. I must have food. I must have specific food. I […]
